1. Introduction
The Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) [RFC7921] provides read
and write access to the information and state within the routing
process that exists inside the routing elements; this is achieved via
protocol message exchange between I2RS clients and I2RS agents
associated with the routing system. One of the functions of I2RS is
to read and write data of the Routing Information Base (RIB).
[I2RS-REQS] introduces a set of RIB use cases. The RIB information
model is defined in [RFC8430].
This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] [RFC6991] for the
RIB that satisfies the RIB use cases and aligns with the RIB
information model.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and

Figure 1: Overview of I2RS RIB Module Structure
2.1. RIB Capability
RIB capability negotiation is very important because not all of the
hardware will be able to support all kinds of nexthops, and there
might be a limitation on how many levels of lookup can be practically
performed. Therefore, a RIB data model needs to specify a way for an
external entity to learn about the functional capabilities of a
network device.
At the same time, nexthop chains can be used to specify multiple
headers over a packet before that particular packet is forwarded.
Not every network device will be able to support all kinds of nexthop
chains along with the arbitrary number of headers that are chained
together. The RIB data model needs a way to expose the nexthop
chaining capability supported by a given network device.
This module uses the feature and if-feature statements to achieve
above capability advertisement.
2.2. Routing Instance and RIB
A routing instance, in the context of the RIB information model, is a
collection of RIBs, interfaces, and routing protocol parameters. A
routing instance creates a logical slice of the router and can allow
multiple different logical slices, across a set of routers, to
communicate with each other. The routing protocol parameters control
the information available in the RIBs. More details about a routing
instance can be found in Section 2.2 of [RFC8430].
For a routing instance, there can be multiple RIBs. Therefore, this
model uses "list" to express the RIBs. The structure tree is shown
below:
+--rw routing-instance
+--rw name string
+--rw interface-list* [name]
| +--rw name if:interface-ref
+--rw router-id? yang:dotted-quad
+--rw lookup-limit? uint8
+--rw rib-list* [name]
+--rw name string
+--rw address-family address-family-definition
+--rw ip-rpf-check? boolean
+--rw route-list* [route-index]
... // refer to Section 2.3
Figure 2: Routing Instance Structure
2.3. Route
A route is essentially a match condition and an action following that
match. The match condition specifies the kind of route (e.g., IPv4,
MPLS, Media Access Control (MAC), Interface, etc.) and the set of
fields to match on.
A route MUST contain the ROUTE_PREFERENCE attribute (see Section 2.3
of [RFC8430]).
In addition, a route MUST associate with the following status
attributes in responses to a RIB writing/reading operation:
o Active: Indicates whether a route has at least one fully resolved
nexthop and is therefore eligible for installation in the FIB.
o Installed: Indicates whether the route got installed in the FIB.
o Reason: Indicates the specific reason that caused the failure,
e.g., "Not authorized".
In addition, a route can be associated with one or more optional
route-attributes (e.g., route-vendor-attributes).
A RIB will have a number of routes, so the routes are expressed as a
list under a specific RIB. Each RIB has its own route list.

+--rw route-index uint64
+--rw match

Figure 3: Routes Structure
2.4. Nexthop
A nexthop represents an object resulting from a route lookup. As
illustrated in Figure 4 of [RFC8430], to support various use cases
(e.g., load-balancing, protection, multicast, or a combination of
them), the nexthop is modeled as a multilevel structure and supports
recursion. The first level of the nexthop includes the following
four types:
o Base: The "base" nexthop is the foundation of all other nexthop
types. It includes the following basic nexthops:
* nexthop-id
* IPv4 address
* IPv6 address
* egress-interface
* egress-interface with IPv4 address
* egress-interface with IPv6 address
* egress-interface with MAC address
* logical-tunnel
* tunnel-encapsulation
* tunnel-decapsulation
* rib-name
o Chain: The "chain" nexthop provides a way to perform multiple
operations on a packet by logically combining them.
o Load-Balance: The "load-balance" nexthop is designed for a load-
balance case where it normally will have multiple weighted
nexthops.
o Protection: The "protection" nexthop is designed for a protection
scenario where it normally will have primary and standby nexthop.
o Replicate: The "replicate" nexthop is designed for multiple
destinations forwarding.
The structure tree of nexthop is shown in the following figures.
+--rw nexthop
| +--rw nexthop-id? uint32
| +--rw sharing-flag? boolean
| +--rw (nexthop-type)?
| +--:(nexthop-base)

2.5. RPC Operations
This module defines the following RPC operations:
o rib-add: Add a RIB to a routing instance. The following are
passed as the input parameters: the name of the RIB, the address
family of the RIB, and (optionally) whether the RPF check is
enabled. The output is the result of the add operation:
* true - success
* false - failed (when failed, the I2RS agent may return the
specific reason that caused the failure)
o rib-delete: Delete a RIB from a routing instance. When a RIB is
deleted, all routes installed in the RIB will be deleted. A rib-
name is passed as the input parameter. The output is the result
of the delete operation:
* true - success
* false - failed (when failed, the I2RS agent may return the
specific reason that caused the failure)
o route-add: Add a route or a set of routes to a RIB. The following
are passed as the input parameters: the name of the RIB, the route
prefix(es), the route-attributes, the route-vendor-attributes, the
nexthop, and the "whether to return failure details" indication.
Before calling the route-add rpc, it is required to call the nh-
add rpc to create and/or return the nexthop identifier. However,
in situations when the nexthop already exists and the nexthop-id
is known, this action is not expected. The output is a
combination of the route operation states while querying the
appropriate node in the data tree, which includes:
* success-count: the number of routes that were successfully
added;
* failed-count: the number of the routes that failed to be added;
and,
* failure-detail: this shows the specific routes that failed to
be added.
o route-delete: Delete a route or a set of routes from a RIB. The
following are passed as the input parameters: the name of the RIB,
the route prefix(es), and the "whether to return failure details"
indication. The output is a combination of route operation
states, which includes:
* success-count: the number of routes that were successfully
deleted;
* failed-count: the number of the routes that failed to be
deleted; and,
* failure-detail: this shows the specific routes that failed to
be deleted.
o route-update: Update a route or a set of routes. The following
are passed as the input parameters: the name of the RIB, the route
prefix(es), the route-attributes, the route-vendor-attributes, or
the nexthop. The match conditions can be either route prefix(es),
route-attributes, route-vendor-attributes, or nexthops. The
update actions include the following: update the nexthops, update
the route-attributes, and update the route-vendor-attributes. The
output is a combination of the route operation states, which

* success-count: the number of routes that were successfully
updated;
* failed-count: the number of the routes that failed to be
updated; and,
* failure-detail: this shows the specific routes that failed to
be updated.
o nh-add: Add a nexthop to a RIB. The following are passed as the
input parameters: the name of the RIB and the nexthop. The
network node is required to allocate a nexthop identifier to the
nexthop. The outputs include the result of the nexthop add
operation.
* true - success (when success, a nexthop identifier will be
returned to the I2RS client)
* false - failed (when failed, the I2RS agent may return the
specific reason that caused the failure)
o nh-delete: Delete a nexthop from a RIB. The following are passed
as the input parameters: the name of the RIB and a nexthop or
nexthop identifier. The output is the result of the delete
operation:
* true - success
* false - failed (when failed, the I2RS agent may return the
specific reason that caused the failure)

2.6. Notifications
Asynchronous notifications are sent by the RIB manager of a network
device to an external entity when some event triggers on the network
device. An implementation of this RIB data model MUST support
sending two kinds of asynchronous notifications.
1. Route change notification:
o Installed (indicates whether the route got installed in the FIB)
o Active (indicates whether a route has at least one fully resolved
nexthop and is therefore eligible for installation in the FIB)
o Reason (e.g., "Not authorized")
2. Nexthop resolution status notification
Nexthops can be fully resolved or unresolved.
A resolved nexthop has an adequate level of information to send the
outgoing packet towards the destination by forwarding it on an
interface to a directly connected neighbor.
An unresolved nexthop is something that requires the RIB manager to
determine the final resolved nexthop. In one example, a nexthop
could be an IP address. The RIB manager would resolve how to reach
that IP address, e.g., by checking if that particular IP address is
reachable by regular IP forwarding, by an MPLS tunnel, or by both.
If the RIB manager cannot resolve the nexthop, then the nexthop
remains in an unresolved state and is NOT a suitable candidate for
installation in the FIB.
An implementation of this RIB data model MUST support sending route-
change notifications whenever a route transitions between the
following states:
o from the active state to the inactive state
o from the inactive state to the active state
o from the installed state to the uninstalled state
o from the uninstalled state to the installed state
A single notification MAY be used when a route transitions from
inactive/uninstalled to active/installed or in the other direction.
The structure tree of notifications is shown in the following figure.

4. IANA Considerations
This document registers a URI in the "ns" registry within the "IETF
XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2rs-rib
Registrant Contact: The IESG.

This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names"
registry [RFC7950]:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
name: ietf-i2rs-rib
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2rs-rib
prefix: iir
reference: RFC 8431
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5. 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 NETCONF access control model [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.
The YANG module defines information that can be configurable in
certain instances, for example, a RIB, a route, a nexthop can be
created or deleted by client applications; the YANG module also
defines RPCs that can be used by client applications to add/delete
RIBs, routes, and nexthops. In such cases, a malicious client could
attempt to remove, add, or update a RIB, a route, or a nexthop by
creating or deleting corresponding elements in the RIB, route, and
nexthop lists, respectively. Removing a RIB or a route could lead to
disruption or impact in performance of a service; updating a route
may lead to suboptimal path and degradation of service levels as well
as possibly disruption of service. For those reasons, it is
important that the NETCONF access control model is vigorously applied
to prevent misconfiguration by unauthorized clients.
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:
o RIB: A malicious client could attempt to remove a RIB from a
routing instance, for example, in order to sabotage the services
provided by the RIB or to add a RIB to a routing instance (hence,
to inject unauthorized traffic into the nexthop).
o route: A malicious client could attempt to remove or add a route
from/to a RIB, for example, in order to sabotage the services
provided by the RIB.
o nexthop: A malicious client could attempt to remove or add a
nexthop from/to RIB, which may lead to a suboptimal path, a
degradation of service levels, and a possible disruption of
service.
