8. Introduction

This document provides a YANG Layer 1 (L1) Connectivity Service Model (L1CSM) which can be classified as Network Service YANG module per [RFC8199]. 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 [RFC8341] or a RESTCONF [RFC8040] interface.

[RFC4847] 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).

Lee, et al. Expires 14 October 2024 [Page 2] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for L1CSM April 2024

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 the L1CSM YANG model that is used for the instantiation of point-to-point L1 connectivity services, which 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 is generic, and provides support for the three different service models defined in [RFC4847].

The YANG data model defined in Section 3 is consistent with the Service Attributes defined in [MEF63], with the exception of the Service Level Specification Service Attributes which are outside the scope of this document.

This YANG model is NMDA-compliant.

1.1. Deployment Scenarios

    Figure 1: L1CSM SDN Controller/EMS/NMS-Based Service Model:
                         External Customer

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 [RFC8309]. It is worth noting that in some scenarios, there can be a Network Management System (NMS) or Element Management System (EMS) performing the role of the SDN Controller.

Figure 2 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.,

Lee, et al. Expires 14 October 2024 [Page 4] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for L1CSM April 2024

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 Figure 2 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 [RFC4847].

1. L1CSM YANG Model Overview

The L1CSM describes the Layer 1 connectivity services following the convention defined in [MEF63] which includes the description of User Network Interface (UNI) access characteristics and L1 virtual connection (L1VC) service characteristics:

Lee, et al. Expires 14 October 2024 [Page 7] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for L1CSM April 2024

   +--rw l1-connectivity
     +--rw access
     |  +--rw unis
     |     +--rw uni* [uni-id]
     |        +--rw uni-id    string
     |        .......................................
     +--rw services
        +--rw service* [service-id]
           +--rw service-id    string
           ..........................................

The UNI access characteristics can be specified using either the definitions in [MEF63], which are based on the 3-tuple protocol, coding and optical-interface, or the definitions in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types], which are based on the client signals in [ITU-T_G.709]:

   +--rw (uni-access-type)?
      +--:(mef)
      |  +--rw protocol             identityref
      |  +--rw coding               identityref
      |  +--rw optical-interface    identityref
      +--:(itu)
         +--rw client-signal        identityref

The L1VC service characteristics are described by references to a list of L1VC end points. For point-to-point connections, only two end points are allowed.

   +--rw endpoint* [endpoint-id]
      +--rw endpoint-id    string
      +--rw uni -> /l1-connectivity/access/unis/uni/uni-id
