1. Introduction

[RFC3618] introduces the protocol definition of the Multicast Source
Discovery Protocol (MSDP). This document defines a YANG data model
that can be used to configure and manage MSDP protocol operations.
The operational state data and statistics can also be retrieved by
this model.

This model is designed to be used along with other multicast YANG
data models such as PIM [PIM-YANG], which are not covered in this
document.

1.1. Terminology

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC6020]
and [RFC7950], including:

* action

* augment

* choice

* container

* data model

* data node

* grouping

* identity

* leaf

* list

* module

* uses

The following abbreviations are used in this document and the defined
model:

MSDP: Multicast Source Discovery Protocol [RFC3618]

RP: Rendezvous Point [RFC7761]

RPF: Reverse Path Forwarding [RFC7761]

SA: Source-Active [RFC3618]

1.2. Conventions Used in This Document

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.

1.3. Tree Diagrams

Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
[RFC8340].

1.4. Prefixes in Data Node Names

In this document, names of data nodes, actions, and other data model
objects are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from
the context in which YANG module each name is defined. Otherwise,
names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the
corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1.

2. Design of the Data Model

2.1. Scope of Model

The model covers MSDP [RFC3618].

This model can be used to configure and manage MSDP protocol
operations. The operational state data and statistics can be
retrieved by this model. Even though no protocol-specific
notifications are defined in this model, the subscription and push
mechanisms, as defined in [RFC8639] and [RFC8641], can be implemented
by the user to subscribe to notifications on the data nodes in this
model.

The model contains all the basic configuration parameters to operate
the protocol. Depending on the implementation choices, some systems
may not allow some of the advanced parameters to be configurable.
The occasionally implemented parameters are modeled as optional
features in this model. This model can be extended, and it has been
structured in a way that such extensions can be conveniently made.

2.2. Specification

The configuration data nodes cover global configuration attributes
and per-peer configuration attributes. The state data nodes include
global, per-peer, and SA information. The container "msdp" is the
top-level container in this data model. The presence of this
container is expected to enable MSDP protocol functionality. No
notification is defined in this model.

3. Module Structure

This model imports and augments the "ietf-routing" YANG data model
defined in [RFC8349]. Both configuration data nodes and state data
nodes as mentioned in [RFC8349] are augmented.

The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The operational
state data is combined with the associated configuration data in the
same hierarchy [RFC8407].

3.1. MSDP Configuration

MSDP operation requires configuration information that is distributed
amongst several peers. Several peers may be configured in a mesh-
group. The SA information may be filtered by peers.

The configuration modeling branch is composed of MSDP global and peer
configurations. These two parts are the most important parts of
MSDP.

Besides the fundamental features of MSDP, several optional features
are included in the model. These features help the control of MSDP.
The peer features and SA features make the deployment and control
easier. The connection parameters can be used to control the TCP
connection because MSDP is based on TCP. The authentication features
make the protocol more secure. The filter features selectively allow
operators to prevent SA information from being forwarded to peers.

3.2. MSDP States

MSDP states are composed of the MSDP global state, the MSDP peer
state, statistics information, and SA cache information. The
statistics information and SA cache information help the operator
retrieve data regarding the protocol's condition.

YANG actions are defined to clear the connection of one specific MSDP
peer, clear the connections of all MSDP peers, or clear some or all
of the SA caches.

5. Security Considerations

The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer
is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer
is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
[RFC8446].

The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or
RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or
RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Under /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/msdp:

msdp:global

This subtree specifies the configuration for the MSDP
attributes at the global level. Modifying the configuration
can cause MSDP default peers to be deleted or the connection to
be rebuilt and can also cause unexpected filtering of the SA.

msdp:peers

This subtree specifies the configuration for the MSDP
attributes at the peer level. Modifying the configuration will
allow unexpected MSDP peer establishment and unexpected SA
information learning and advertisement.

The writability of the "key" field should be strictly
controlled. Misoperation of the key will break the existing
MSDP connection, and the associated SA caches will also be
deleted.

Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/msdp:

Unauthorized access to any data node of the above subtree can
disclose the operational state information of MSDP on this device.
For example, disclosure of the peer information may lead to a
forged connection attack, and uncorrected modification of the ACL
nodes may lead to filter errors.

The "key" field is also a sensitive readable configuration.
Unauthorized reading of this field may lead to leaking of the
password. Modification will allow the unexpected rebuilding of
connected peers.

Authentication configuration is supported via the specification of
key-chains [RFC8177] or the direct specification of the key and the
authentication algorithm. Hence, authentication configuration in the
"authentication" container inherits the security considerations
discussed in [RFC8177]. This includes the considerations with
respect to the local storage and handling of authentication keys.

Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/msdp:clear-peer

/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/msdp:clear-sa-cache

Unauthorized access to either of the above action operations can
lead to rebuilding of the MSDP peers' connections or deletion of
SA records on this device.

6. IANA Considerations

IANA has registered the following URI in the "ns" subregistry within
the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-msdp
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

IANA has registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module
Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry:

Name: ietf-msdp
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-msdp
Prefix: msdp
Reference: RFC 8916

This example shows the input data (in JSON) for executing an
"sa-cache clear" action to clear the cache of all entries that match
the group address of 233.252.0.23.
