Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document describes a YANG data model [RFC7950] for routing policy configuration based on operational usage and best practices in a variety of service provider networks. The model is intended to be vendor neutral to allow operators to manage policy configuration consistently in environments with routers supplied by multiple vendors.

The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

1.1. Goals and Approach

This model does not aim to be feature complete; it is a subset of the policy configuration parameters available in a variety of vendor implementations but supports widely used constructs for managing how routes are imported, exported, and modified across different routing protocols. The model development approach has been to examine actual policy configurations in use across several operator networks. Hence, the focus is on enabling policy configuration capabilities and structure that are in wide use.

Despite the differences in details of policy expressions and conventions in various vendor implementations, the model reflects the observation that a relatively simple condition-action approach can be readily mapped to several existing vendor implementations and also gives operators a familiar and straightforward way to express policy. A side effect of this design decision is that other methods for expressing policies are not considered.

Consistent with the goal to produce a data model that is vendor neutral, only policy expressions that are deemed to be widely available in prevalent implementations are included in the model. Those configuration items that are only available from a single implementation are omitted from the model with the expectation they will be available in separate vendor-provided modules that augment the current model.

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.

Routing policy:
A routing policy defines how routes are imported, exported, modified, and advertised between routing protocol instances or within a single routing protocol instance.
Policy chain:
A policy chain is a sequence of policy definitions. They can be referenced from different contexts.
Policy statement:
Policy statements consist of a set of conditions and actions (either of which may be empty).

2.1. Tree Diagrams

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

2.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names

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

rt ietf-routing [RFC8349]
yang ietf-yang-types [RFC6991]
inet ietf-inet-types [RFC6991]

3. Model Overview

The routing policy module has three main parts:

The module makes use of the standard Internet types, such as IP addresses, autonomous system numbers, etc., defined in RFC 6991 [RFC6991].

4. Route Policy Expression

Policies are expressed as a sequence of top-level policy definitions, each of which consists of a sequence of policy statements. Policy statements in turn consist of simple condition-action tuples. Conditions may include multiple match or comparison operations, and similarly, actions may include multiple changes to route attributes or indicate a final disposition of accepting or rejecting the route. This structure is shown below.

  +--rw routing-policy
     +--rw policy-definitions
        +--ro match-modified-attributes?   boolean
        +--rw policy-definition* [name]
           +--rw name          string
           +--rw statements
              +--rw statement* [name]
                 +--rw name          string
                 +--rw conditions
                 |     ...
                 +--rw actions
                       ...

4.1. Defined Sets for Policy Matching

The model provides a collection of generic sets that can be used for matching in policy conditions. These sets are applicable for route selection across multiple routing protocols. They may be further augmented by protocol-specific models that have their own defined sets. The defined sets include:

prefix sets:
Each prefix set defines a set of IP prefixes, each with an associated IP prefix and netmask range (or exact length).
neighbor sets:
Each neighbor set defines a set of neighboring nodes by their IP addresses. A neighbor set is used for selecting routes based on the neighbors advertising the routes.
tag sets:
Each tag set defines a set of generic tag values that can be used in matches for selecting routes.

The model structure for defined sets is shown below.

    +--rw routing-policy
       +--rw defined-sets
       |  +--rw prefix-sets
       |  |  +--rw prefix-set* [name]
       |  |     +--rw name        string
       |  |     +--rw mode?       enumeration
       |  |     +--rw prefixes
       |  |        +--rw prefix-list* [ip-prefix mask-length-lower
       |  |                            mask-length-upper]
       |  |           +--rw ip-prefix           inet:ip-prefix
       |  |           +--rw mask-length-lower    uint8
       |  |           +--rw mask-length-upper    uint8
       |  +--rw neighbor-sets
       |  |  +--rw neighbor-set* [name]
       |  |     +--rw name       string
       |  |     +--rw address*   inet:ip-address
       |  +--rw tag-sets
       |     +--rw tag-set* [name]
       |        +--rw name         string
       |        +--rw tag-value*   tag-type

4.2. Policy Conditions

Policy statements consist of a set of conditions and actions (either of which may be empty). Conditions are used to match route attributes against a defined set (e.g., a prefix set) or to compare attributes against a specific value.

Match conditions may be further modified using the match-set-options configuration, which allows network operators to change the behavior of a match. Three options are supported:

'all':
Match is true only if the given value matches all members of the set.
'any':
Match is true if the given value matches any member of the set.
'invert':
Match is true if the given value does not match any member of the given set.

Not all options are appropriate for matching against all defined sets (e.g., match 'all' in a prefix set does not make sense). In the model, a restricted set of match options is used where applicable.

Comparison conditions may similarly use options to change how route attributes should be tested, e.g., for equality or inequality, against a given value.

While most policy conditions will be added by individual routing protocol models via augmentation, this routing policy model includes several generic match conditions and the ability to test which protocol or mechanism installed a route (e.g., BGP, IGP, static, etc.). The conditions included in the model are shown below.

  +--rw routing-policy
     +--rw policy-definitions
        +--rw policy-definition* [name]
           +--rw name          string
           +--rw statements
              +--rw statement* [name]
                 +--rw conditions
                 |  +--rw call-policy?
                 |  +--rw source-protocol?
                 |  +--rw match-interface
                 |  |  +--rw interface?
                 |  +--rw match-prefix-set
                 |  |  +--rw prefix-set?
                 |  |  +--rw match-set-options?
                 |  +--rw match-neighbor-set
                 |  |  +--rw neighbor-set?
                 |  +--rw match-tag-set
                 |  |  +--rw tag-set?
                 |  |  +--rw match-set-options?
                 |  +--rw match-route-type
                 |     +--rw route-type*

4.3. Policy Actions

When policy conditions are satisfied, policy actions are used to set various attributes of the route being processed or to indicate the final disposition of the route, i.e., accept or reject.

Similar to policy conditions, the routing policy model includes generic actions in addition to the basic route disposition actions. These are shown below.

  +--rw routing-policy
     +--rw policy-definitions
        +--rw policy-definition* [name]
           +--rw statements
              +--rw statement* [name]
                 +--rw actions
                    +--rw policy-result?   policy-result-type
                    +--rw set-metric
                    |  +--rw metric-modification?
                    |  |         metric-modification-type
                    |  +--rw metric?                 uint32
                    +--rw set-metric-type
                    |  +--rw metric-type?   identityref
                    +--rw set-route-level
                    |  +--rw route-level?   identityref
                    +--rw set-route-preference?      uint16
                    +--rw set-tag?               tag-type
                    +--rw set-application-tag?   tag-type

4.4. Policy Subroutines

Policy 'subroutines' (or nested policies) are supported by allowing policy statement conditions to reference other policy definitions using the call-policy configuration. Called policies apply their conditions and actions before returning to the calling policy statement and resuming evaluation. The outcome of the called policy affects the evaluation of the calling policy. If the called policy results in an accept-route, then the subroutine returns an effective Boolean true value to the calling policy. For the calling policy, this is equivalent to a condition statement evaluating to a true value, thus the calling party continues in its evaluation of the policy (see Section 5). Note that the called policy may also modify attributes of the route in its action statements. Similarly, a reject-route action returns false, and the calling policy evaluation will be affected accordingly. When the end of the subroutine policy statements is reached, the default route disposition action is returned (i.e., Boolean false for reject-route). Consequently, a subroutine cannot explicitly accept or reject a route. Rather, the called policy returns Boolean true if its outcome is accept-route or Boolean false if its outcome is reject-route. Route acceptance or rejection is solely determined by the top-level policy.

Note that the called policy may itself call other policies (subject to implementation limitations). The model does not prescribe a nesting depth because this varies among implementations. For example, an implementation may only support a single level of subroutine recursion. As with any routing policy construction, care must be taken with nested policies to ensure that the effective return value results in the intended behavior. Nested policies are a convenience in many routing policy constructions, but creating policies nested beyond a small number of levels (e.g., two to three) is discouraged. Also, implementations MUST perform validation to ensure that there is no recursion among nested routing policies.

5. Policy Evaluation

Evaluation of each policy definition proceeds by evaluating its individual policy statements in the order that they are defined. When all the condition statements in a policy statement are satisfied, the corresponding action statements are executed. If the actions include either accept-route or reject-route actions, evaluation of the current policy definition stops, and no further policy statement is evaluated. If there are multiple policies in the policy chain, subsequent policies are not evaluated. Policy chains are sequences of policy definitions (as described in Section 4).

If the conditions are not satisfied, then evaluation proceeds to the next policy statement. If none of the policy statement conditions are satisfied, then evaluation of the current policy definition stops, and the next policy definition in the chain is evaluated. When the end of the policy chain is reached, the default route disposition action is performed (i.e., reject-route unless an alternate default action is specified for the chain).

Whether the route's pre-policy attributes are used for testing policy statement conditions is dependent on the implementation-specific value of the match-modified-attributes leaf. If match-modified-attributes is false and actions modify route attributes, these modifications are not used for policy statement conditions. Conversely, if match-modified-attributes is true and actions modify the policy application-specific attributes, the attributes as modified by the policy are used for policy condition statements.

6. Applying Routing Policy

Routing policy is applied by defining and attaching policy chains in various routing contexts. Policy chains are sequences of policy definitions (described in Section 4). They can be referenced from different contexts. For example, a policy chain could be associated with a routing protocol and used to control its interaction with its protocol peers, or it could be used to control the interaction between a routing protocol and the local routing information base. A policy chain has an associated direction (import or export) with respect to the context in which it is referenced.

The routing policy model defines an apply-policy grouping that can be imported and used by other models. As shown below, it allows definition of import and export policy chains, as well as specifies the default route disposition to be used when no policy definition in the chain results in a final decision.

      +--rw apply-policy
      |  +--rw import-policy*
      |  +--rw default-import-policy?   default-policy-type
      |  +--rw export-policy*
      |  +--rw default-export-policy?   default-policy-type

The default policy defined by the model is to reject the route for both import and export policies.

8. 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:

/routing-policy/defined-sets/prefix-sets
Modification to prefix sets could result in a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. An attacker may try to modify prefix sets and redirect or drop traffic. Redirection of traffic could be used as part of a more elaborate attack to either collect sensitive information or masquerade a service. Additionally, a control plane DoS attack could be accomplished by allowing a large number of routes to be leaked into a routing protocol domain (e.g., BGP).
/routing-policy/defined-sets/neighbor-sets
Modification to the neighbor sets could be used to mount a DoS attack or more elaborate attack as with prefix sets. For example, a DoS attack could be mounted by changing the neighbor set from which routes are accepted.
/routing-policy/defined-sets/tag-sets
Modification to the tag sets could be used to mount a DoS attack. Routes with certain tags might be redirected or dropped. The implications are similar to prefix sets and neighbor sets. However, the attack may be more difficult to detect as the routing policy usage of route tags and intent must be understood to recognize the breach. Conversely, the implications of prefix set or neighbor set modification are easier to recognize.
/routing-policy/policy-definitions/policy-definition/statements/statement/conditions
Modification to the conditions could be used to mount a DoS attack or other attack. An attacker may change a policy condition and redirect or drop traffic. As with prefix sets, neighbor sets, or tag sets, traffic redirection could be used as part of a more elaborate attack.
/routing-policy/policy-definitions/policy-definition/statements/statement/actions
Modification to actions could be used to mount a DoS attack or other attack. Traffic may be redirected or dropped. As with prefix sets, neighbor sets, or tag sets, traffic redirection could be used as part of a more elaborate attack. Additionally, route attributes may be changed to mount a second-level attack that is more difficult to detect.

Some of the readable data nodes in the 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:

/routing-policy/defined-sets/prefix-sets
Knowledge of these data nodes can be used to ascertain which local prefixes are susceptible to a DoS attack.
/routing-policy/defined-sets/neighbor-sets
Knowledge of these data nodes can be used to ascertain local neighbors against whom to mount a DoS attack.
/routing-policy/policy-definitions/policy-definition/statements/
Knowledge of these data nodes can be used to attack the local router with a DoS attack. Additionally, policies and their attendant conditions and actions should be considered proprietary and disclosure could be used to ascertain partners, customers, and suppliers. Furthermore, the policies themselves could represent intellectual property and disclosure could diminish their corresponding business advantage.

Routing policy configuration has a significant impact on network operations, and as such, other YANG data models that reference routing policies are also susceptible to vulnerabilities relating to the YANG data nodes specified above.

Appendix A. Routing Protocol-Specific Policies

Routing models that require the ability to apply routing policy may augment the routing policy model with protocol or other specific policy configuration. The routing policy model assumes that additional defined sets, conditions, and actions may all be added by other models.

The example below illustrates how another data model can augment parts of this routing policy data model. It uses specific examples from draft-ietf-idr-bgp-model-09 to show in a concrete manner how the different pieces fit together. This example is not normative with respect to [IDR-BGP-MODEL]. The model similarly augments BGP-specific conditions and actions in the corresponding sections of the routing policy model. In the example below, the XPath prefix "bp:" specifies import from the ietf-bgp-policy sub-module and the XPath prefix "bt:" specifies import from the ietf-bgp-types sub-module [IDR-BGP-MODEL].

Appendix B. Policy Examples

Below, we show examples of XML-encoded configuration data using the routing policy and BGP models to illustrate both how policies are defined and how they can be applied. Note that the XML [W3C.REC-xml11] has been simplified for readability.

The following example shows how prefix set and tag set can be defined. The policy condition is to match a prefix set and a tag set, and the action is to accept routes that match the condition.

  <config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <routing-policy
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-routing-policy">

In the following example, all routes in the RIB that have been learned from OSPF advertisements corresponding to OSPF intra-area and inter-area route types should get advertised into IS-IS level 2 advertisements.

<config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

           </set-route-level>
           <policy-result>accept-route</policy-result>
         </actions>
       </statement>
      </statements>
    </policy-definition>
   </policy-definitions>
  </routing-policy>
</config>
