Routing Internet Engineering Task Force dtn bundle time-variant routing contact plan Some networks, such as in space, have links that are up and down based on a known schedule. The links characteristics, such as latency and bandwidth, are often also known in advance and are important information for routing decisions. This document describes a YANG data model, also known as contact plan. This specification applies to the Bundle Protocol.

Introduction Some networks, such as in space, have links that are up and down based on a known schedule. The links characteristics, such as latency and bandwidth, are also known in advance and are important information for routing decisions. This document describes a Yang data model, also known as contact plan. This specification applies to the Bundle Protocol. For delay-tolerant networks using the Bundle Protocol(BP) , implementations have defined different formats and data models (, , , ) for such data. This specification aims to specify a common interoperable data model. While this work is related to space communications, it could be applied to any use case that is using a contact plan.

Data Model The YANG data model augments the Bundle Protocol YANG data model by adding the TVR schedule YANG data model to the neighbors of a Bundle protocol node. In the case of DTN networks using Bundle Protocol, additional attributes are used on the contact, such as the bandwidth of the convergence layer adapter link at the time of the contact. It is added to the augmentation. file "ietf-tvr-bundle-schedule@2024-07-06.yang" module ietf-tvr-bundle-schedule { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tvr-bundle-schedule"; prefix bundle-schedule; import ietf-bundle-protocol { prefix bundle; } import ietf-tvr-schedule { prefix tvr-schd; } import ietf-yang-types { prefix yang; } organization "IETF TVR - Time Variant Routing Working Group"; contact "WG Web: WG List: Author: Marc Blanchet Author: Yingzhen Qu Author: Leigh Jordan Torgerson "; description "The YANG module defines an augmentation to the Bundle protocol YANG model.

The YANG modules specified in this document define a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF or RESTCONF . The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) . The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS . The NETCONF access control model provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. Augmenting neighbors with a contact plan could be used by an adversary to influence the routing and the base function of the networking config of the node, the end-result may be a denial of service.
