            UDP-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions
                    draft-ietf-netconf-udp-notif-03

Abstract

   This document describes an UDP-based notification mechanism to
   collect data from networking devices.  A shim header is proposed to
   facilitate the data streaming directly from the publishing process on
   network processor of line cards to receivers.  The objective is a
   lightweight approach to enable higher frequency and less performance
   impact on publisher and receiver process compared to already
   established notification mechanisms.

1.  Introduction

   Sub-Notif [RFC8639] defines a mechanism that lets a receiver
   subscribe to the publication of YANG-defined data maintained in a
   YANG [RFC7950] datastore.  The mechanism separates the management and
   control of subscriptions from the transport used to deliver the data.
   Three transport mechanisms, namely NETCONF transport [RFC8640],
   RESTCONF transport [RFC8650], and HTTPS transport
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-https-notif] have been defined so far for such
   notification messages.

   While powerful in their features and general in their architecture,
   the currently available transport mechanisms need to be complemented
   to support data publications at high velocity from devices that
   feature a distributed architecture.  The currently available
   transports are based on TCP and lack the efficiency needed to
   continuously send notifications at high velocity.

   This document specifies a transport option for Sub-Notif that
   leverages UDP.  Specifically, it facilitates the distributed data
   collection mechanism described in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-distributed-notif].  In the case of publishing from
   multiple network processors on multiple line cards, centralized
   designs require data to be internally forwarded from those network
   processors to the push server, presumably on a route processor, which
   then combines the individual data items into a single consolidated
   stream.  The centralized data collection mechanism can result in a
   performance bottleneck, especially when large amounts of data are
   involved.

   What is needed is a mechanism that allows for directly publishing
   from multiple network processors on line cards, without passing them
   through an additional processing stage for internal consolidation.
   The proposed UDP-based transport allows for such a distributed data
   publishing approach.

   *  Firstly, a UDP approach reduces the burden of maintaining a large
      amount of active TCP connections at the receiver, notably in cases
      where it collects data from network processors on line cards from
      a large amount of networking devices.

   *  Secondly, as no connection state needs to be maintained, UDP
      encapsulation can be easily implemented by the hardware of the
      publication streamer, which will further improve performance.

   *  Ultimately, such advantages allow for a larger data analysis
      feature set, as more voluminous, finer grained data sets can be
      streamed to the receiver.

   The transport described in this document can be used for transmitting
   notification messages over both IPv4 and IPv6.

   This document describes the notification mechanism.  It is intended
   to be used in conjunction with [RFC8639], extended by
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-distributed-notif].

   Section 2 describes the control of the proposed transport mechanism.
   Section 3 details the notification mechanism and message format.
   Section 4 describes the use of options in the notification message
   header.  Section 5 covers the applicability of the proposed
   mechanism.

2.  Configured Subscription to UDP-Notif

   This section describes how the proposed mechanism can be controlled
   using subscription channels based on NETCONF or RESTCONF.

   Following the usual approach of Sub-Notif, configured subscriptions
   contain the location information of all the receivers, including the
   IP address and the port number, so that the publisher can actively
   send UDP-Notif messages to the corresponding receivers.

   Note that receivers MAY NOT be already up and running when the
   configuration of the subscription takes effect on the monitored
   device.  The first message MUST be a separate subscription-started
   notification to indicate the Receiver that the stream has started
   flowing.  Then, the notifications can be sent immediately without
   delay.  All the subscription state notifications, as defined in
   [RFC8639], MUST be encapsulated in separate notification messages.

3.  UDP-Based Transport

   In this section, we specify the UDP-Notif Transport behavior.
   Section 3.1 describes the general design of the solution.
   Section 3.2 specifies the UDP-Notif message format.  Section 4
   describes a generic optional sub TLV format.  Section 4.1 uses such
   options to provide a segmentation solution for large UDP-Notif
   message payloads.  Section 3.3 describes the encoding of the message
   payload.

3.1.  Design Overview

   As specified in Sub-Notif, the telemetry data is encapsulated in the
   NETCONF/RESTCONF notification message, which is then encapsulated and
   carried using transport protocols such as TLS or HTTP2.  This
   document defines a UDP based transport.  Figure 1 illustrates the
   structure of an UDP-Notif message.

   *  The Message Header contains information that facilitate the
      message transmission before deserializing the notification
      message.

   *  Notification Message is the encoded content that the publication
      stream transports.  The common encoding methods include, CBOR
      [RFC7049], JSON, and XML.
      [I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages] describes the structure
      of the Notification Message for single notifications and bundled
      notifications.

3.2.  Format of the UDP-Notif Message Header

   The UDP-Notif Message Header contains information that facilitate the
   message transmission before deserializing the notification message.
   The data format is shown in Figure 2.

      0                   1                   2                   3

     |                         Message-ID                            |
     +---------------------------------------------------------------+
     ~                          Options                              ~
     +---------------------------------------------------------------+

                 Figure 2: UDP-Notif Message Header Format


   The Message Header contains the following field:

   *  Ver represents the PDU (Protocol Data Unit) encoding version.  The
      initial version value is 0.

Internet-Draft               unyte-udp-notif                   July 2021


   *  S represents the space of encoding type specified in the ET field.
      When S is unset, ET represents the standard encoding types as
      defined in this document.  When S is set, ET represents a private
      space to be freely used for non standard encodings.

   *  ET is a 4 bit identifier to indicate the encoding type used for
      the Notification Message. 16 types of encoding can be expressed.
      When the S bit is unset, the following values apply:

      -  0: CBOR;

      -  1: JSON;

      -  2: XML;

      -  others are reserved.

   *  Header Len is the length of the message header in octets,
      including both the fixed header and the options.

   *  Message Length is the total length of the message within one UDP
      datagram, measured in octets, including the message header.

   *  Observation-Domain-ID is a 32-bit identifier of the Observation
      Domain that led to the production of the notification message, as
      defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages].  This allows
      disambiguation of an information source, such as the
      identification of different line cards sending the notification
      messages.  The source IP address of the UDP datagrams SHOULD NOT
      be interpreted as the identifier for the host that originated the
      UDP-Notif message.  Indeed, the streamer sending the UDP-Notif
      message could be a relay for the actual source of data carried
      within UDP-Notif messages.

   *  The Message ID is generated continuously by the sender of UDP-
      Notif messages.  Different subscribers share the same Message ID
      sequence.

   *  Options is a variable-length field in the TLV format.  When the
      Header Length is larger than 12 octets, which is the length of the
      fixed header, Options TLVs follow directly after the fixed message
      header (i.e., Message ID).  The details of the options are
      described in Section 4.

3.3.  Data Encoding

   UDP-Notif message data can be encoded in CBOR, XML or JSON format.
   It is conceivable that additional encodings may be supported in the
   future.  This can be accomplished by augmenting the subscription data
   model with additional identity statements used to refer to requested
   encodings.

   Private encodings can be supported through the use of the S bit of
   the header.  When the S bit is set, the value of the ET field is left
   to be defined and agreed upon by the users of the private encoding.
   An option is defined in Section 4.2 for more verbose encoding
   descriptions than what can be described with the ET field.

   Implementation MAY support multiple encoding methods per
   subscription.  When bundled notifications are supported between the
   publisher and the receiver, only subscribed notifications with the
   same encoding can be bundled in a given message.

4.  Options

   All the options are defined with the following format, illustrated in
   Figure 3.

      0                   1                   2                   3
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

     +---------------+---------------+--------------------------------

                      Figure 3: Generic Option Format

   *  Type: 1 octet describing the option type;

   *  Length: 1 octet representing the total number of octets in the
      TLV, including the Type and Length fields;

   *  Variable-length data: 0 or more octets of TLV Value.

4.1.  Segmentation Option

   The UDP payload length is limited to 65535.  Application level
   headers will make the actual payload shorter.  Even though binary
   encodings such as CBOR may not require more space than what is left,
   more voluminous encodings such as JSON and XML may suffer from this
   size limitation.  Although IPv4 and IPv6 senders can fragment
   outgoing packets exceeding their Maximum Transmission Unit(MTU),
   fragmented IP packets may not be desired for operational and
   performance reasons.

   Consequently, implementations of the mechanism SHOULD provide a
   configurable max-segment-size option to control the maximum size of a
   payload.

      0                   1                   2                   3
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
     +---------------+---------------+-----------------------------+-+
     |     Type      |     Length    |        Segment Number       |L|
     +---------------+---------------+-----------------------------+-+

                    Figure 4: Segmentation Option Format

   The Segmentation Option is to be included when the message content is
   segmented into multiple pieces.  Different segments of one message
   share the same Message ID.  An illustration is provided in Figure 4.
   The fields of this TLV are:

   *  Type: Generic option field which indicates a Segmentation Option.
      The Type value is to be assigned.

   *  Length: Generic option field which indicates the length of this
      option.  It is a fixed value of 4 octets for the Segmentation
      Option.

   *  Segment Number: 15-bit value indicating the sequence number of the
      current segment.  The first segment of a segmented message has a
      Segment Number value of 0.

   *  L: is a flag to indicate whether the current segment is the last
      one of the message.  When 0 is set, the current segment is not the
      last one.  When 1 is set, the current segment is the last one,
      meaning that the total number of segments used to transport this
      message is the value of the current Segment Number + 1.

   An implementation of this specification MUST NOT rely on IP
   fragmentation by default to carry large messages.  An implementation
   of this specification MUST either restrict the size of individual
   messages carried over this protocol, or support the segmentation
   option.

4.2.  Private Encoding Option

   The space to describe private encodings in the ET field of the UDP-
   Notif header being limited, an option is provided to describe custom
   encodings.  The fields of this option are as follows.

      0                   1                   2                   3
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
     +---------------+---------------+--------------------------------
     |     Type      |     Length    |   Variable length enc. descr.
     +---------------+---------------+--------------------------------


                  Figure 5: Private Encoding Option Format

   *  Type: Generic option field which indicates a Private Encoding
      Option.  The Type value is to be assigned.

   *  Length: Generic option field which indicates the length of this
      option.  It is a variable value.

   *  Enc. Descr: The description of the private encoding used for this
      message.  The values to be used for such private encodings is left
      to be defined by the users of private encodings.

   This option SHOULD only be used when the S bit of the header is set,
   as providing a private encoding description for standard encodings is
   meaningless.

5.  Applicability

   In this section, we provide an applicability statement for the
   proposed mechanism, following the recommendations of [RFC8085].

   The proposed mechanism falls in the category of UDP applications
   "designed for use within the network of a single network operator or
   on networks of an adjacent set of cooperating network operators, to
   be deployed in controlled environments".  Implementations of the
   proposed mechanism should thus follow the recommendations in place
   for such specific applications.  In the following, we discuss
   recommendations on congestion control, message size guidelines,
   reliability considerations.

Internet-Draft               unyte-udp-notif                   July 2021


5.1.  Congestion Control

   The proposed application falls into the category of applications
   performing transfer of large amounts of data.  It is expected that
   the operator using the solution configures QoS on its related flows.
   As per [RFC8085], such applications MAY choose not to implement any
   form of congestion control, but follow the following principles.

   It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use the proposed mechanism over congestion-
   sensitive network paths.  The only environments where UDP-Notif is
   expected to be used are managed networks.  The deployments require
   that the network path has been explicitly provisioned to handle the
   traffic through traffic engineering mechanisms, such as rate limiting
   or capacity reservations.

   Implementation of the proposal SHOULD NOT push unlimited amounts of
   traffic by default, and SHOULD require the users to explicitly
   configure such a mode of operation.

   Burst mitigation through packet pacing is RECOMMENDED.  Disabling
   burst mitigation SHOULD require the users to explicitly configure
   such a mode of operation.

   Applications SHOULD monitor packet losses and provide means to the
   user for retrieving information on such losses.  The UDP-Notif
   Message ID can be used to deduce congestion based on packet loss
   detection.  Hence the receiver can notify the device to use a lower
   streaming rate.  The interaction to control the streaming rate on the
   device is out of the scope of this document.

5.2.  Message Size

   [RFC8085] recommends not to rely on IP fragmentation for messages
   whose size result in IP packets exceeding the MTU along the path.
   The segmentation option of the current specification permits
   segmentation of the UDP Notif message content without relying on IP
   fragmentation.  Implementation of the current specification SHOULD
   allow for the configuration of the MTU.

5.3.  Reliability

   The target application for UDP-Notif is the collection of data-plane
   information.  The lack of reliability of the data streaming mechanism
   is thus considered acceptable as the mechanism is to be used in
   controlled environments, mitigating the risk of information loss,

   the network, as information collected for the devices through the
   means of the proposed mechanism is to be often refreshed.

   A receiver implementation for this protocol SHOULD deal with
   potential loss of packets carrying a part of segmented payload, by
   discarding packets that were received, but cannot be re-assembled as
   a complete message within a given amount of time.  This time SHOULD
   be configurable.

6.  A YANG Data Model for Management of UDP-Notif

   The YANG model defined in Section 7 has two leaves augmented into one
   place of Sub-Notif [RFC8639], plus one identity.

    module: ietf-udp-subscribed-notifications
     augment /sn:subscriptions/sn:subscription/sn:receivers/sn:receiver:
       +--rw address   inet:ip-address
       +--rw port      inet:port-number
       +--rw enable-fragment?  boolean
       +--rw max-fragment-size?  uint32

8.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to assign a new URI from the IETF XML Registry
   [RFC3688].  The following URI is suggested:

Internet-Draft               unyte-udp-notif                   July 2021


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

   This document also requests a new YANG module name in the YANG Module
   Names registry [RFC7950] with the following suggestion:

   name: ietf-udp-notif
   namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-notif
   prefix: un
   reference: RFC XXXX

9.  Security Considerations

   As stated in the Applicability analysis in Section 5, this protocol
   is to be used in controlled environments, so that network operators
   might not require to secure the transport mechanism described in this
   document.  An approach to secure this protocol is out of the scope of
   this document.
