This document provides a YANG Layer 1 Connectivity Service Model (L1CSM).
This model can be utilized by a customer network controller to initiate a connectivity service request as well as to retrieve service states for a Layer 1 network controller communicating with its customer network controller. This YANG model is in compliance of Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).
This document provides a YANG Layer 1 (L1) Connectivity Service Model (L1CSM) which can be classified as Network Service YANG module per . This model can be utilized by a customer network controller to initiate a connectivity service request as well as to retrieve service states for a Layer 1 network controller communicating with its customer network controller via a NETCONF or a RESTCONF interface.
provides a framework and service level requirements for Layer 1 Virtual Private Networks (L1VPNs). It classifies the
provision of L1VPN services into three service models (not to be confused with YANG models): the management-based service model, the
signaling-based service model (Basic Mode), and the signaling and routing service model (Enhanced Mode).
In the management-based service model, customer management systems and provider management systems communicate with each other. Customer management systems access provider management systems to request Layer 1 connection setup/deletion between a pair of CEs. Customer management systems may obtain additional information, such as resource availability information and monitoring information, from provider management systems. There is no control message exchange between a CE and PE.
In the signaling-based service model (Basic Model), the CE-PE interface's functional repertoire is limited to path setup signaling only. In the signaling and routing service model (Enhanced Mode), the CE-PE interface provides the signaling capabilities as in the Basic Mode, plus permits limited exchange of information between the control planes of the provider and the customer to help such functions as discovery of customer network routing information (i.e., reachability or TE information in remote customer sites), or parameters of the part of the provider's network dedicated to the customer.
The primary focus of this document is to describe L1CSM YANG model required for the instantiation of point-to-point L1 connectivity services, to provide Layer 1 connectivity between two or more customer sites where the customer has some control over the establishment and type of the connectivity. The L1CSM specified in this document supports the point-to-point connectivity services defined in .
The YANG data model defined in Section 3 is consistent with the Service Attributes defined in , with the exception of the Service Level Specification Service Attributes which are ouside the scope of this document.
This YANG model is NMDA-compliant.
depicts a deployment scenario of the L1CSM SDN control-based service model for an external customer instantiating L1 point-to-point connectivity to the provider.

]]>
With this scenario, the customer service orchestrator interfaces with the network software-defined networking (SDN) controller of the provider using a Customer Service Model as defined in . It is worth noting that the SDN controller can be alternated by Network Management System (NMS) or Element Management System (EMS).
depicts another deployment scenario for internal customer (e.g., higher-layer service management departments) interfacing the Layer 1 transport network department. With this scenario, a multi-service backbone is characterized such that each service department of a provider (e.g., L2/3 services) that receives the same provider's L1CSM service provides a different kind of higher-layer service. The customer receiving the L1CSM service (i.e., each service department) can offer its own services, whose payloads can be any layer (e.g., IP, OTN). The Layer 1 transport network and each service network belong to the same organization, but may be managed separately. The Service SDN Controller is the control/management entity owned by higher-layer service department (e.g., L2/3 VPN) whereas the Network SDN Controller is the control/management entity responsible for Layer 1 connectivity service. The CEs in are L2/3 devices that interface with L1 PE devices.

]]>
The benefit is that the same Layer 1 transport network resources are shared by multiple services. A large capacity backbone network (data plane) can be built economically by having the resources shared by multiple services usually with flexibility to modify topologies, while separating the control functions for each service department. Thus, each customer can select a specific set of features that are needed to provide their own service .

The L1CSM describes the Layer 1 connectivity services following the convention defined in which includes the description of User Network Interface (UNI) access characteristics and L1 virtual connection (L1VC) service characteristics:
The UNI access characteristics can be specified using either the definitions in , which are based on the 3-tuple includes protocol, coding and optical-interface, or the definitions in , which are based on the client signals in :
The L1VC service characteristics are described by references to a list of L1VC end points. For point-to-point connectivities, only two end points are allowed.

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 Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) 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:
uni:
- uni-id
service:
- service-id
- endpoint-id
The security considerations spelled out in the YANG 1.1 specification apply for this document as well.
This document registers the following URIs in the "ns" subregistry within the "IETF XML Registry" as follows:
This document registers following YANG modules in the YANG Module Names registry .
The authors would like to thank Tom Petch for his helpful comments and valuable contributions and Robert Wilton for his review that improved the model significantly.
