CCAMP Working Group This document defines a YANG data model for performance Monitoring in optical networks which provides the functionalities of performance monitoring task management, TCA (Threshold Crossing Alert) configuration and current or historic performance data retrieval. This data model should be used in the northbound of PNC.

Introduction Performance monitoring is a basic function of optical networks management. With it, operators can proactively detect the running state of devices, identify major risks in advanced and avoid users' complaints. As before, TMF has defined interfaces for performance management through traditional protocols, such as CORBA and MTOSI. With the development of SDN technologies and the using of RESTCONF interfaces, it becomes a widespread requirement to use RESTCONF protocol to support performance monitoring. Using RESTCONF does not mean changing existing performance monitoring requirements or scenarios. On the contrary, since O&M is very important, many operators' O&M departments tend to be conservative. Mostly, they are fear of introducing issues into their network due to the protocol changes and O&M habits changes. Therefore, our document prefers to use the new protocol to support legacy functionality. Traditional performance management involves control of performance monitoring, setting collectors on monitored objects, and obtaining performance data in different periods. The data can be current data on devices or processed by PNC, and historical performance data. TCA can be also configured by performance monitoring tasks. The explanation of performance monitoring indicator would also be an important part of this document, especially some typical optical-specific indicators. Currently, there are some existing documents related to performance monitoring in IETF, but there is no overlap with our current work. For example: provides a YANG data model that describes performance monitoring and scaling intent mechanisms for TE-Tunnels and Virtual Networks(VNs). VN is determinated to be used in CMI (CNC-MDSC Interface) level and TE tunnel is more service or connection related. Our data model is proposed to be used in MPI (MDSC-PNC Interface) level and this performance monitoring is performed on network resources, such as network element, board, fiber, port or TTP (Tunnel Termination Point), which are not included in . defines a YANG data model for performance monitoring of both network topology layer and overlay VPN service topology layer. VPN service is more IP-specific and not adopted in Optical domain. And the data model in this document is augmenting network model. If the client wants to retrieve performance data of a link by RESTCONF, the URL would be probably same with the URL of topology retrieval. This may need some special mechanisms to make the client and server differentiate the using scenarios. This is not quite compliance with current O&M habits of Optical technology. provides a performance monitoring YANG data model on client signal level. It is also not operated on resource level which is not compliance with the existing O&M habits. This performance monitoring solution is more user-oriented and can be used for more automatic O&M scenarios in the future. However, there is not a complete closed-loop O&M solution at the service layer and it has not been accepted by all operators' O&M departments, resource-based performance monitoring is still required. The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in .

YANG Data Model for Optical Performance Monitoring According to the business requirements stated in , resource performance management requirements include: * The Interface shall support the control of performance monitoring in the network. This includes PM control, e.g., the enabling and disabling of PM collection and Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA) control, e.g., the enabling and disabling of TCA generation. * The Interface shall support the retrieval of current and historical performance measurements for network resources. * The Interface shall support the distribution of TCAs to subscribed OSs. For these requirements of PM, there are three group of interfaces are defined in TMF, including PerformanceManagementControl, PerformanceManagementRetrieval and ThresholdCrossingAlertControlm.

Performance Management Control There are three interfaces defined in TMF for this group, including: * clearPerformanceMonitoringData: This interface shall allow MDSC to clear or reset the performance register on TPs or NEs. This clearing operation means to reset the data value to the current value. The monitoring job is still running on. * disablePerformanceMonitoringData: This interface shall allow MDSC disable PM data collection on a list of TPs or NEs. * enablePerformanceMonitoringData: This interface shall allow MDSC enable PM data collection on a list of TPs or NEs. This aspect of interface we introduce a monitor task to do this control. In the monitoring task, MDSC should be able to configure what period and what kind of performance data it want to collect. The disabling, enabling operation can be satisfy by changing the admin status which includes disabled, enabled. The change's result will affect the task status accordingly. //NOTES: To be added. to support the clearPerformanceMonitoringData

PerformanceManagementRetrieval There are six interfaces are defined in TMF for this group, including: * getAllCurrentPerformanceMonitoringData: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve performance data on a series of termination point. * getHistoryPerformanceMonitoringData: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve some historic performance data on a series of termination point in a time period through FTP. * getAllPerformanceMonitoringPoints: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve all the performance monitoring points in a specified termination point or NE. * getHoldingTime: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve how many hours PM data records are held in PNC. * getMePerformanceMonitoringCapabilities: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve what parameters are supported by a specified NE or termination point. For the retrieval of current/historic performance data, there is one option that we define the value in the data model. But considered that performance data is frequently changed and if we follow that approach, according to the requirement of on-change notification in YANG-push , once the performance data changes, the PNC should trigger a notifcation to the MDSC, for the sake of data consistency. But these two retrieval interfaces is more like on-demand invoking. The interaction through notification would bring great pressure to both PNC and MDSC. And it is also hard to support retrieving performance data of multiple resources by data model. And for historic performance data retrieval, there could be a requirement to specify the start time and end time. It is not quite flexible to support this requirement by data model neither. So we suggest to define two RPCs to accomplish these two interfaces' function.

//NOTE: To be futhur analyze: getAllPerformanceMonitoringPoints, getHoldingTime, getMePerformanceMonitoringCapabilities

Threshold Crossing Alert Control There are nine interfaces are defined in TMF for this group, including: * createTcaParameterProfile: This interface should allow MDSC to create a new TCA parameter profile. This profile can be applied to the resources. * deleteTcaParameterProfile: This interface should allow MDSC to delete an existing TCA parameter profile which should not have been used by any resources. * enableThresholdCrossingAlert: This interface should allow MDSC to turn on TCA reporting on a list of TPs and NEs if the reporting was turned off before. * disableThresholdCrossingAlert: This interface should allow MDSC to turn off TCA reporting on a list of TPs and NEs. * getAllTcaParameterProfiles: This interfaces should allow MDSC to retrieve all TCA parameter profile that are being managed by a specified NE. * getTcaParameterProfile: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve all the parameters of a specified TCA parameter profile. * getTcaTpParameter: This interface should allow MDSC to retrieve the PM threshold values on a TP. * setTcaParameterProfile: This interface should allow MDSC to configure all threshold values of a TCA parameter profile. * setTcaTpParameter: This interface should allow MDSC to modify the values of TCA Parameters on a TP To be summarized, there are four main requirements for Threshold Crossing Alert Control: * Creation/retrieval/deletion/updating of TCA profile; * Enabling/disabling TCA reporting on the resource; * Configuring TCA on the resource by associating an existing profile; * Configuring TCA on the resource by detailed parameters. And for the TCA parameters, no matter it is configured directly on the resource or by a preset profile, there should not be any differences. The TCA parameter (indicator) should include: * indicator-name: Name of indicator. This indicator should also include some data processing information, such if it is a maximum, or minimum, or average data .etc. * threshold-type: This threshold type is used to indicate when the alert will be triggered. By exceeding the upper bound value, or by below the lower bound value. * period: This period is used to indicate the frequency of the data collection. * severity: This severity is used to indicate what level of alert would be triggered if cross the threshold. * indicator-value: The value of threshold. * indicator-value-unit: The unit of threshold value. The tree structure for TCA profile:

The function of enabling/disabling TCA on the resource can be controlled by an admin-status attributes in "tca" node:

If MDSC wants to configure TCA by an existing profile, it can use this applied-profiles structure:

MDSC can also configure TCA value directly by the "tca-cfg" structure:

Generic Resource The definition of most performance monitoring interfaces in TMF is quite generic. And it is also similar that the functionalities of both alarm and performance monitoring can be defined with a generic structure, regardless of what kind of object is operated on. Therefore, our data model prefer to follow this approach. And when defining our data model, we get refer to , in which a generic alarm data model is provided. In , a union type of resource attributes is defined as the source of alarm. So we also reference this structure in our data model. Additionally, we extend a resource-type attribute to indicate what exact kind of resource is. Firstly, this attribute can help to improve interaction efficiency between PNC and MDSC. The MDSC may quickly identify the resource type from this attribute, without parsing the resource identifier or searching the resource id in the whole resource. On the other hand, it will be unified with the existing IETF topology and inventory objects and form a complete interface system.

Manageability Considerations <Add any manageability considerations>

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 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 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. Considerations in Section 8 of are also applicable to their subtrees in the module defined in this document. 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. Considerations in Section 8 of are also applicable to their subtrees in the module defined in this document.

IANA Considerations This document registers following YANG modules in the YANG Module Names registry . name: ietf-optical-resource-pm namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-optical-resource-pm prefix: optrpm reference: RFC XXXX: A YANG Data Model for Optical Performance Monitoring name: ietf-optical-resource-pm-types namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-optical-resource-pm-types prefix: optrpm-types reference: RFC XXXX: A YANG Data Model for Optical Performance Monitoring

TM Forum (TMF) Datastores are a fundamental concept binding the data models written in the YANG data modeling language to network management protocols such as the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and RESTCONF. This document defines an architectural framework for datastores based on the experience gained with the initial simpler model, addressing requirements that were not well supported in the initial model. This document updates RFC 7950. This document provides a model of information needed by the Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) process in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs). The purpose of the information described in this model is to facilitate constrained optical path computation in WSONs. This model takes into account compatibility constraints between WSON signal attributes and network elements but does not include constraints due to optical impairments. Aspects of this information that may be of use to other technologies utilizing a GMPLS control plane are discussed. A Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) requires certain key information fields be made available to facilitate path computation and the establishment of Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The information model described in "Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information Model for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks" (RFC 7446) shows what information is required at specific points in the WSON. Part of the WSON information model contains aspects that may be of general applicability to other technologies, while other parts are specific to WSONs.This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for the WSON-specific information fields. It is intended that protocol- specific documents will reference this memo to describe how information is carried for specific uses. Such encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition, these encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same information to a Path Computation Element (PCE). YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for network management protocols. This document describes the syntax and semantics of version 1.1 of the YANG language. YANG version 1.1 is a maintenance release of the YANG language, addressing ambiguities and defects in the original specification. There are a small number of backward incompatibilities from YANG version 1. This document also specifies the YANG mappings to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized as remote procedure calls (RPCs). This document obsoletes RFC 4741. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document captures the current syntax used in YANG module tree diagrams. The purpose of this document is to provide a single location for this definition. This syntax may be updated from time to time based on the evolution of the YANG language. This document introduces a collection of common data types to be used with the YANG data modeling language. This document obsoletes RFC 6021. This document describes an HTTP-based protocol that provides a programmatic interface for accessing data defined in YANG, using the datastore concepts defined in the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). This document describes a method for invoking and running the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) within a Secure Shell (SSH) session as an SSH subsystem. This document obsoletes RFC 4742. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS allows client/server applications to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.This document updates RFCs 5705 and 6066, and obsoletes RFCs 5077, 5246, and 6961. This document also specifies new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations. The standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) or the RESTCONF protocol requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. This document defines such an access control model.This document obsoletes RFC 6536. This document defines a YANG data model for representing, retrieving, and manipulating Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies. The model serves as a base model that other technology-specific TE topology models can augment. YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications. [STANDARDS-TRACK] Samsung Electronics Huawei Technologies CTTC Lancaster University Ericsson This document provides YANG data models that describe performance monitoring parameters and scaling intent mechanisms for TE-tunnels and Virtual Networks (VNs). There performance monitoring parameters are exposed as the key telemetry data for tunnels and VN. The models presented in this document allow customers to subscribe to and monitor the key performance data of the TE-tunnel or the VN. The models also provide customers with the ability to program autonomic scaling intent mechanisms on the level of TE-tunnel as well as VN. Huawei Huawei Orange Telefonica Comcast The data model for network topologies defined in RFC 8345 introduces vertical layering relationships between networks that can be augmented to cover network and service topologies. This document defines a YANG module for performance monitoring (PM) of both underlay networks and overlay VPN services that can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology of both layers. Huawei Technologies Huawei Technologies China Unicom Nokia Telefonica A transport network is a server-layer network to provide connectivity services to its client. Given the client signal is configured, the followup function for performance monitoring, such as latency and bit error rate, would be needed for network operation. This document describes the data model to support the performance monitoring functionalities. This document provides an information model for Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN). This document describes a mechanism that allows subscriber applications to request a continuous and customized stream of updates from a YANG datastore. Providing such visibility into updates enables new capabilities based on the remote mirroring and monitoring of configuration and operational state. This document defines a YANG module for alarm management. It includes functions for alarm-list management, alarm shelving, and notifications to inform management systems. There are also operations to manage the operator state of an alarm and administrative alarm procedures. The module carefully maps to relevant alarm standards.
