A YANG Data Model for
Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) Service Delivery
Abstract
This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure
a Layer 2 provider-provisioned VPN service. It is up to a management
system to take this as an input and generate specific configuration
models to configure the different network elements to deliver the
service. How this configuration of network elements is done is out
of scope for this document.
The YANG data model defined in this document includes support for
point-to-point Virtual Private Wire Services (VPWSs) and multipoint
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLSs) that use Pseudowires signaled
using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) as described in RFCs 4761 and 6624.
The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture defined in RFC 8342.

1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG data model for the Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN)
service. This model defines service configuration elements that can
be used in communication protocols between customers and network
operators. Those elements can also be used as input to automated
control and configuration applications and can generate specific
configuration models to configure the different network elements to
deliver the service. How this configuration of network elements is
done is out of scope for this document.
Further discussion of the way that services are modeled in YANG and
the relationship between "customer service models" like the one
described in this document and configuration models can be found in
[RFC8309] and [RFC8199]. Sections 4 and 6 also provide more
information on how this service model could be used and how it fits
into the overall modeling architecture.
The YANG data model defined in this document includes support for
point-to-point Virtual Private Wire Services (VPWSs) and multipoint
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLSs) that use Pseudowires signaled
using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) as described in [RFC4761] and [RFC6624]. It also
conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
[RFC8342].
1.1. Terminology
The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined
here:
o client
o configuration data
o server
o state data
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are not redefined
here:

o data model
o data node
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC7950].
1.1.1. Requirements Language
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.
1.2. Tree Diagrams
Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
[RFC8340].
2. Definitions
This document uses the following terms:
Service Provider (SP): The organization (usually a commercial
undertaking) responsible for operating the network that offers VPN
services to clients and customers.
Customer Edge (CE) Device: Equipment that is dedicated to a
particular customer and is directly connected to one or more PE
devices via Attachment Circuits (ACs). A CE is usually located at
the customer premises and is usually dedicated to a single VPN,
although it may support multiple VPNs if each one has separate
ACs. The CE devices can be routers, bridges, switches, or hosts.
Provider Edge (PE) Device: Equipment managed by the SP that can
support multiple VPNs for different customers and is directly
connected to one or more CE devices via ACs. A PE is usually
located at an SP Point of Presence (POP) and is managed by the SP.
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS): A VPLS is a provider service
that emulates the full functionality of a traditional LAN. A VPLS
makes it possible to interconnect several LAN segments over a
packet switched network (PSN) and makes the remote LAN segments
behave as one single LAN.
Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS): A VPWS is a point-to-point
circuit (i.e., link) connecting two CE devices. The link is
established as a logical Layer 2 circuit through a PSN. The CE in
the customer network is connected to a PE in the provider network
via an AC: the AC is either a physical or logical circuit. A VPWS
differs from a VPLS in that the VPLS is point-to-multipoint while
the VPWS is point-to-point. In some implementations, a set of
VPWSs is used to create a multi-site L2VPN network.
Pseudowire (PW): A Pseudowire is an emulation of a native service
over a PSN. The native service may be ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet,
low-rate Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM), or Synchronous Optical
Network / Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH), while the PSN
may be MPLS, IP (either IPv4 or IPv6), or Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3).
MAC-VRF: A Virtual Routing and Forwarding table for Media Access
Control (MAC) addresses on a PE. It is sometimes also referred to
as a Virtual Switching Instance (VSI).
UNI: User-to-Network Interface. The physical demarcation point
between the customer's area of responsibility and the provider's
area of responsibility.
NNI: Network-to-Network Interface. A reference point representing
the boundary between two networks that are operated as separate
administrative domains. The two networks may belong to the same
provider or to two different providers.
This document uses the following abbreviations:
BSS: Business Support System
BUM: Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, or Multicast
CoS: Class of Service
LAG: Link Aggregation Group
LLDP: Link Layer Discovery Protocol
OAM: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
OSS: Operations Support System
PDU: Protocol Data Unit
QoS: Quality of Service
3. The Layer 2 VPN Service Model
A Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) service is a collection of sites that are
authorized to exchange traffic between each other over a shared
infrastructure of a common technology. The L2VPN Service Model
(L2SM) described in this document provides a common understanding of
how the corresponding L2VPN service is to be deployed over the shared
infrastructure.
This document presents the L2SM using the YANG data modeling language
[RFC7950] as a formal language that is both human readable and
parsable by software for use with protocols such as the Network
Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].
This service model is limited to VPWS-based VPNs and VPLS-based VPNs
as described in [RFC4761] and [RFC6624] and to Ethernet VPNs (EVPNs)
as described in [RFC7432].
3.1. Layer 2 VPN Service Types
From a technology perspective, a set of basic L2VPN service types
include:
o Point-to-point VPWSs that use LDP-signaled Pseudowires or
L2TP-signaled Pseudowires [RFC6074].
o Multipoint VPLSs that use LDP-signaled Pseudowires or
L2TP-signaled Pseudowires [RFC6074].
o Multipoint VPLSs that use a BGP control plane as described in
[RFC4761] and [RFC6624].
o IP-only LAN Services (IPLSs) that are a functional subset of VPLS
services [RFC7436].
o BGP MPLS-based EVPN services as described in [RFC7432] and
[RFC7209].
o EVPN VPWSs as specified in [RFC8214].
3.2. Layer 2 VPN Physical Network Topology
Figure 1 below depicts a typical SP's physical network topology.
Most SPs have deployed an IP, MPLS, or Segment Routing (SR)
multi-service core infrastructure. Ingress Layer 2 service frames
will be mapped to either an Ethernet Pseudowire (e.g., Pseudowire
Emulation Edge to Edge (PWE3)) or a Virtual Extensible Local Area
Network (VXLAN) PE-to-PE tunnel. The details of these tunneling
mechanisms are left to the provider's discretion and are not part of
the L2SM.
An L2VPN provides end-to-end Layer 2 connectivity over this
multi-service core infrastructure between two or more customer
locations or a collection of sites. ACs are placed between CE
devices and PE devices that backhaul Layer 2 service frames from the
customer over the access network to the provider network or remote
site. The demarcation point (i.e., UNI) between the customer and the
SP can be placed between either (1) customer nodes and the CE device
or (2) the CE device and the PE device. The actual bearer connection
between the CE and the PE will be described in the L2SM.
The SP may also choose a "seamless MPLS" approach to expand the PWE3
or VXLAN tunnel between sites.
The SP may leverage Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) to autodiscover and
signal the PWE3 or VXLAN tunnel endpoints.

Broadcast and multicast packets are sent to all participants in the
same bridge domain.

4. Service Data Model Usage
The L2SM provides an abstracted interface to request, configure, and
manage the components of an L2VPN service. The model is used by a
customer who purchases connectivity and other services from an SP to
communicate with that SP.
A typical usage for this model is as an input to an orchestration
layer that is responsible for translating it into configuration
commands for the network elements that deliver/enable the service.
The network elements may be routers, but also servers (like
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)) that are
necessary within the network.
The configuration of network elements may be done using the Command
Line Interface (CLI) or any other configuration (or "southbound")
interface such as NETCONF [RFC6241] in combination with device-
specific and protocol-specific YANG data models.
This way of using the service model is illustrated in Figure 3 and is
described in more detail in [RFC8309] and [RFC8199]. The split of
the orchestration function between a "service orchestrator" and a
"network orchestrator" is clarified in [RFC8309]. The usage of this
service model is not limited to this example: it can be used by any
component of the management system but not directly by network
elements.
The usage and structure of this model should be compared to the
Layer 3 VPN service model defined in [RFC8299].

Figure 3: Reference Architecture for the Use of the L2SM
The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) [MEF-6] has also developed an
architecture for network management and operations, but the work of
the MEF embraces all aspects of lifecycle service orchestration,
including billing, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), order management,
and lifecycle management. The IETF's work on service models is
typically smaller and offers a simple, self-contained service YANG
module. See [RFC8309] for more details.
5. Design of the Data Model
The L2SM is structured in a way that allows the provider to list
multiple circuits of various service types for the same customer. A
circuit represents an end-to-end connection between two or more
customer locations.
The YANG module is divided into two main containers: "vpn-services"
and "sites". The "vpn-svc" container under vpn-services defines
global parameters for the VPN service for a specific customer.
A site contains at least one network access (i.e., site network
accesses providing access to the sites, as defined in Section 5.3.2),
and there may be multiple network accesses in the case of
multihoming. Site-to-network-access attachment is done through a
bearer with a Layer 2 connection on top. The bearer refers to
properties of the attachment that are below Layer 2, while the
connection refers to Layer 2 protocol-oriented properties. The
bearer may be allocated dynamically by the SP, and the customer may
provide some constraints or parameters to drive the placement.
Authorization of traffic exchanges is done through what we call a VPN
policy or VPN topology that defines routing exchange rules between
sites.
End-to-end multi-segment connectivity can be realized by using a
combination of per-site connectivity and per-segment connectivity at
different segments.

Figure 4: Overall Structure of the YANG Module
5.1. Features and Augmentation
The model defined in this document implements many features that
allow implementations to be modular. As an example, the Layer 2
protocol parameters (Section 5.3.2.2) proposed to the customer may
also be enabled through features. This model also defines some
features for options that are more advanced, such as support for
extranet VPNs (Section 5.2.4), site diversity (Section 5.3), and QoS
(Section 5.10.2).
In addition, as for any YANG data model, this service model can be
augmented to implement new behaviors or specific features. For
example, this model defines VXLAN [RFC7348] for Ethernet packet
encapsulation; if VXLAN encapsulation does not fulfill all
requirements for describing the service, new options can be added
through augmentation.
5.2. VPN Service Overview
The vpn-service list item contains generic information about the VPN
service. The vpn-id in the vpn-service list refers to an internal
reference for this VPN service. This identifier is purely internal
to the organization responsible for the VPN service.
The vpn-service list is composed of the following characteristics:
Customer information (customer-name): Used to identify the customer.
VPN service type (vpn-svc-type): Used to indicate the VPN service
type. The identifier is an identity allowing any encoding for the
local administration of the VPN service. Note that another
identity can be an extension of the base identity.
Cloud access (cloud-access): All sites in the L2VPN SHOULD be
permitted to access the cloud by default. The "cloud-access"
container provides parameters for authorization rules. A cloud
identifier is used to reference the target service. This
identifier is local to each administration.
Service topology (svc-topo): Used to identify the type of VPN
service topology that is required.
Frame delivery service (frame-delivery): Defines the frame delivery
support required for the L2VPN, e.g., multicast delivery, unicast
delivery, or broadcast delivery.
Extranet VPN (extranet-vpns): Indicates that a particular VPN needs
access to resources located in another VPN.
5.2.1. VPN Service Type
The "vpn-svc-type" parameter defines the service type for provider-
provisioned L2VPNs. The current version of the model supports six
flavors:
o Point-to-point VPWSs connecting two customer sites.
o Point-to-point or point-to-multipoint VPWSs connecting a set of
customer sites [RFC8214].
o Multipoint VPLSs connecting a set of customer sites.
o Multipoint VPLSs connecting one or more root sites and a set of
leaf sites but preventing inter-leaf-site communication.
o EVPN services [RFC7432] connecting a set of customer sites.
o EVPN VPWSs between two customer sites or a set of customer sites
as specified in [RFC8214].
Other L2VPN service types could be included by augmentation. Note
that an Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service or an Ethernet Virtual
Private Line (EVPL) service is an Ethernet Line (E-Line) service
[MEF-6]or a point-to-point Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) service,
while an Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN) service or an Ethernet Virtual
Private LAN (EVP-LAN) service is an Ethernet LAN (E-LAN) service
[MEF-6] or a multipoint-to-multipoint EVC service.
5.2.2. VPN Service Topologies
The types of VPN service topologies discussed below can be used for
configuration if needed. The module described in this document
currently supports any-to-any, Hub-and-Spoke (where Hubs can exchange
traffic), and Hub-and-Spoke Disjoint (where Hubs cannot exchange
traffic). New topologies could be added by augmentation. By
default, the any-to-any VPN service topology is used.
5.2.2.1. Route Target Allocation
A Layer 2 PE-based VPN (such as a VPLS-based VPN or an EVPN that uses
BGP as its signaling protocol) can be built using Route Targets (RTs)
as described in [RFC4364] and [RFC7432]. The management system is
expected to automatically allocate a set of RTs upon receiving a VPN
service creation request. How the management system allocates RTs is
out of scope for this document, but multiple ways could be envisaged,
as described in Section 6.2.1.1 of [RFC8299].
5.2.2.2. Any-to-Any
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| VPN1_Site 1 ------ PE1 PE2 ------ VPN1_Site 2 |
| |
| VPN1_Site 3 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ VPN1_Site 4 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
Figure 5: Any-to-Any VPN Service Topology
In the any-to-any VPN service topology, all VPN sites can communicate
with each other without any restrictions. The management system that
receives an any-to-any L2VPN service request through this model is
expected to assign and then configure the MAC-VRF and RTs on the
appropriate PEs. In the any-to-any case, a single RT is generally
required, and every MAC-VRF imports and exports this RT.
5.2.2.3. Hub-and-Spoke
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| Hub_Site 1 ------ PE1 PE2 ------ Spoke_Site 1 |
| +------------------------------------+
| |
| +------------------------------------+
| Hub_Site 2 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ Spoke_Site 2 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Figure 6: Hub-and-Spoke VPN Service Topology
In the Hub-and-Spoke VPN service topology,
o all Spoke sites can communicate only with Hub sites (i.e., Spoke
sites cannot communicate with each other).
o Hubs can communicate with each other.
The management system that receives a Hub-and-Spoke L2VPN service
request through this model is expected to assign and then configure
the MAC-VRF and RTs on the appropriate PEs. In the Hub-and-Spoke
case, two RTs are generally required (one RT for Hub routes and one
RT for Spoke routes). A Hub MAC-VRF that connects Hub sites will
export Hub routes with the Hub RT and will import Spoke routes
through the Spoke RT. It will also import the Hub RT to allow
Hub-to-Hub communication. A Spoke MAC-VRF that connects Spoke sites
will export Spoke routes with the Spoke RT and will import Hub routes
through the Hub RT.
5.2.2.4. Hub-and-Spoke Disjoint
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| Hub_Site 1 ------ PE1 PE2 ------ Spoke_Site 1 |
+--------------------------+ +---------------------------------+
| |
+--------------------------+ +---------------------------------+
| Hub_Site 2 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ Spoke_Site 2 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Figure 7: Hub-and-Spoke-Disjoint VPN Service Topology
In the Hub-and-Spoke-Disjoint VPN service topology,
o all Spoke sites can communicate only with Hub sites (i.e., Spoke
sites cannot communicate with each other).
o Hubs cannot communicate with each other.
The management system that receives a Hub-and-Spoke-Disjoint L2VPN
service request through this model is expected to assign and then
configure the VRF and RTs on the appropriate PEs. In the
Hub-and-Spoke-Disjoint case, at least two RTs are required for Hubs
and Spokes, respectively (at least one RT for Hub routes and at least
one RT for Spoke routes). A Hub VRF that connects Hub sites will
export Hub routes with the Hub RT and will import Spoke routes
through the Spoke RT. A Spoke VRF that connects Spoke sites will
export Spoke routes with the Spoke RT and will import Hub routes
through the Hub RT.
The management system MUST take into account constraints on
Hub-and-Spoke connections, as in the previous case.
Hub-and-Spoke Disjoint can also be seen as multiple Hub-and-Spoke
VPNs (one per Hub) that share a common set of Spoke sites.
5.2.3. Cloud Access
This model provides cloud access configuration through the
cloud-access container. The usage of cloud-access is targeted for
public cloud access and Internet access. The cloud-access container
provides parameters for authorization rules. Note that this model
considers that public cloud and public Internet access share some
commonality; therefore, it does not distinguish Internet access from
cloud access. If needed, a different label for Internet access could
be added by augmentation.
Private cloud access may be addressed through the site container as
described in Section 5.3, with usage consistent with sites of
type "NNI".
A cloud identifier is used to reference the target service. This
identifier is local to each administration.
By default, all sites in the L2VPN SHOULD be permitted to access the
cloud or the Internet. If restrictions are required, a user MAY
configure some limitations for some sites or nodes by using policies,
i.e., the "permit-site" or "deny-site" leaf-list. The permit-site
leaf-list defines the list of sites authorized for cloud access. The
deny-site leaf-list defines the list of sites denied for cloud
access. The model supports both "deny-any-except" and
"permit-any-except" authorization.
How the restrictions will be configured on network elements is out of
scope for this document.

Figure 8: Example of Cloud Access Configuration
As shown in Figure 8, we configure the global VPN to access the
Internet by creating a cloud-access container pointing to the cloud
identifier for the Internet service. (This is illustrated in the XML
[W3C.REC-xml-20081126] below.) No authorized sites will be
configured, as all sites are required to be able to access the
Internet.

If Site 1 and Site 2 require access to Cloud 1, a new cloud-access
container pointing to the cloud identifier of Cloud 1 will be
created. The permit-site leaf-list will be filled with a reference
to Site 1 and Site 2.

5.2.4. Extranet VPNs
There are some cases where a particular VPN needs access to resources
(servers, hosts, etc.) that are external. Those resources may be
located in another VPN.
+-----------+ +-----------+
/ \ / \
Site A -- | VPN A | --- | VPN B | --- Site B
\ / \ / (Shared
+-----------+ +-----------+ resources)
Figure 9: Example of Shared VPN Resources
As illustrated in Figure 9, VPN B has some resources on Site B that
need to be made available to some customers/partners. Specifically,
VPN A must be able to access those VPN B resources.
Such a VPN connection scenario can be achieved via a VPN policy as
defined in Section 5.5.2.2. But there are some simple cases where a
particular VPN (VPN A) needs access to all resources in another VPN
(VPN B). The model provides an easy way to set up this connection
using the "extranet-vpns" container.
The extranet-vpns container defines a list of VPNs a particular VPN
wants to access. The extranet-vpns container is used on customer
VPNs accessing extranet resources in another VPN. In Figure 9, in
order to provide VPN A with access to VPN B, the extranet-vpns
container needs to be configured under VPN A with an entry
corresponding to VPN B. There is no service configuration
requirement on VPN B.
Readers should note that even if there is no configuration
requirement on VPN B, if VPN A lists VPN B as an extranet, all sites
in VPN B will gain access to all sites in VPN A.
The "site-role" leaf defines the role of the local VPN sites in the
target extranet VPN service topology. Site roles are defined in
Section 5.4.
In the example below, VPN A accesses VPN B resources through an
extranet connection. A Spoke role is required for VPN A sites, as
sites from VPN A must not be able to communicate with each other
through the extranet VPN connection.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<l2vpn-svc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2vpn-svc">
<vpn-services>
<vpn-service>
<vpn-id>VPNB</vpn-id>
<svc-topo>hub-spoke</svc-topo>
<ce-vlan-preservation>true</ce-vlan-preservation>
<ce-vlan-cos-preservation>true</ce-vlan-cos-preservation>

<ce-vlan-preservation>true</ce-vlan-preservation>
<ce-vlan-cos-preservation>true</ce-vlan-cos-preservation>
</vpn-service>
</vpn-services>
</l2vpn-svc>
This model does not define how the extranet configuration will be
achieved within the network.
Any VPN interconnection scenario that is more complex (e.g., only
certain parts of sites on VPN A accessing only certain parts of sites
on VPN B) needs to be achieved using a VPN attachment as defined in
Section 5.5.2 and, in particular, a VPN policy as defined in
Section 5.5.2.2.
5.2.5. Frame Delivery Service
If a BUM (Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, or Multicast) frame delivery
service is supported for an L2VPN, some global frame delivery
parameters are required as input for the service request. When a CE
sends BUM packets, replication occurs at the ingress PE and three
frame types need to be supported.
Users of this model will need to provide the flavors of trees that
will be used by customers within the L2VPN (customer-tree-flavors).
The model defined in this document supports bidirectional, shared,
and source-based trees (and can be augmented to contain other tree
types). Multiple flavors of trees can be supported simultaneously.

Figure 10: BUM Frame Delivery Service Example
Multicast-group-to-port mappings can be created using the
"rp-group-mappings" leaf. Two group-to-port mapping methods are
supported:
o Static configuration of multicast Ethernet addresses and
ports/interfaces.
o A multicast control protocol based on Layer 2 technology that
signals mappings of multicast addresses to ports/interfaces, such
as the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) / GARP
Multicast Registration Protocol (GARP/GMRP) [IEEE-802-1D].
5.3. Site Overview
A site represents a connection of a customer office to one or more
VPN services. Each site is associated with one or more locations.

Figure 11: Example: Customer Office and Two VPN Services
The provider uses the site container to store information regarding
detailed implementation arrangements made with either the customer or
peer operators at each interconnect location.
We restrict the L2SM to exterior interfaces (i.e., UNIs and NNIs)
only, so all internal interfaces and the underlying topology are
outside the scope of the L2SM.
Typically, the following characteristics of a site interface handoff
need to be documented as part of the service design:
Unique identifier (site-id): An arbitrary string to uniquely
identify the site within the overall network infrastructure. The
format of "site-id" is determined by the local administrator of
the VPN service.
Device (device): The customer can request one or more customer
premises equipment entities from the SP for a particular site.
Management (management): Defines the model of management for the
site -- for example, type, management-transport, address. This
parameter determines the boundary between the SP and the customer,
i.e., who has ownership of the CE device.
Location (location): The site location information. Allows easy
retrieval of data about the nearest available resources.
Site diversity (site-diversity): Presents some parameters to support
site diversity.
Site network accesses (site-network-accesses): Defines the list of
ports to the site and their properties -- in particular, bearer,
connection, and service parameters.
A site-network-access represents an Ethernet logical connection to a
site. A site may have multiple site-network-accesses.

Figure 12: Two Site-Network-Accesses for a Site
Multiple site-network-accesses are used, for instance, in the case of
multihoming. Some other meshing cases may also include multiple
site-network-accesses.
The site configuration is viewed as a global entity; we assume that
it is mostly the management system's role to split the parameters
between the different elements within the network. For example, in
the case of the site-network-access configuration, the management
system needs to split the parameters between the PE configuration and
the CE configuration.
The site may support single-homed access or multihoming. In the case
of multihoming, the site can support multiple site-network-accesses.
Under each site-network-access, "vpn-attachment" is defined;
vpn-attachment will describe the association between a given
site-network-access and a given site, as well as the VPN to which
that site will connect.
5.3.1. Devices and Locations
The information in the "location" sub-container under a site
container and in the "devices" container allows easy retrieval of
data about the nearest available facilities and can be used for
access topology planning. It may also be used by other network
orchestration components to choose the targeted upstream PE and
downstream CE. Location is expressed in terms of postal information.
More detailed information or other location information can be added
by augmentation.
A site may be composed of multiple locations. All the locations will
need to be configured as part of the "locations" container and list.
A typical example of a multi-location site is a headquarters office
in a city, where the office is composed of multiple buildings. Those
buildings may be located in different parts of the city and may be
linked by intra-city fibers (a customer metropolitan area network).
This model does not represent connectivity between multiple locations
of a site, because that connectivity is controlled by the customer.
In such a case, when connecting to a VPN service, the customer may
ask for multihoming based on its distributed locations.

+------------------+
Figure 13: Two Site-Network-Accesses, Two Sites
A customer may also request the use of some premises equipment
entities (CEs) from the SP via the devices container. Requesting a
CE implies a provider-managed or co-managed model. A particular
device must be requested for a particular already-configured
location. This would help the SP send the device to the appropriate
postal address. In a multi-location site, a customer may, for
example, request a CE for each location on the site where multihoming
must be implemented. In Figure 13, one device may be requested for
the Manhattan location and one other for the Brooklyn location.
By using devices and locations, the user can influence the
multihoming scenario they want to implement: single CE, dual CE, etc.
5.3.2. Site Network Accesses
The L2SM includes a set of essential physical interface properties
and Ethernet-layer characteristics in the "site-network-accesses"
container. Some of these are critical implementation arrangements
that require consent from both the customer and the provider.
As mentioned earlier, a site may be multihomed. Each logical network
access for a site is defined in the site-network-accesses container.
The site-network-access parameter defines how the site is connected
on the network and is split into three main classes of parameters:
o bearer: defines requirements of the attachment (below Layer 2).
o connection: defines Layer 2 protocol parameters of the attachment.
o availability: defines the site's availability policy. The
availability parameters are defined in Section 5.8.
The site-network-access has a specific type
(site-network-access type). This document defines two types:
o point-to-point: describes a point-to-point connection between the
SP and the customer.
o multipoint: describes a multipoint connection between the SP and
the customer.
This site-network-access type may have an impact on the parameters
offered to the customer, e.g., an SP might not offer MAC loop
protection for multipoint accesses. It is up to the provider to
decide what parameters are supported for point-to-point and/or
multipoint accesses. Multipoint accesses are out of scope for this
document; some containers defined in the model may require extensions
in order to work properly for multipoint accesses.
5.3.2.1. Bearer
The "bearer" container defines the requirements for the site
attachment (below Layer 2) to the provider network.
The bearer parameters will help to determine the access media to
be used.
5.3.2.2. Connection
The "connection" container defines the Layer 2 protocol parameters of
the attachment (e.g., vlan-id or circuit-id) and provides
connectivity between customer Ethernet switches. Depending on the
management mode, it refers to PE-CE-LAN segment addressing or to
CE-to-customer-LAN segment addressing. In any case, it describes the
responsibility boundary between the provider and the customer. For a
customer-managed site, it refers to the PE-CE-LAN segment connection.
For a provider-managed site, it refers to the CE-to-customer-LAN
segment connection.
The "encapsulation-type" parameter allows the user to select between
Ethernet encapsulation (port-based) or Ethernet VLAN encapsulation
(VLAN-based). All of the allowed Ethernet interface types of service
frames can be listed under "ether-inf-type", e.g., untagged
interface, tagged interface, LAG interface.
Corresponding to "ether-inf-type", the connection container also
presents three sets of link attributes: untagged interface, tagged
interface, and optional LAG interface attributes. These parameters
are essential for the connection to be properly established between
the CE devices and the PE devices. The connection container also
defines a Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) attribute that allows
control-plane protocol interaction between the CE devices and the PE
device.
5.3.2.2.1. Untagged Interface
For each untagged interface (untagged-interface), there are basic
configuration parameters like interface index and speed, interface
MTU, auto-negotiation and flow-control settings, etc. In addition,
and based on mutual agreement, the customer and provider may decide
to enable advanced features, such as LLDP, IEEE 802.3ah
[IEEE-802-3ah], or MAC loop detection/prevention at a UNI. If loop
avoidance is required, the attribute "uni-loop-prevention" must be
set to "true".
5.3.2.2.2. Tagged Interface
If the tagged service is enabled on a logical unit on the connection
at the interface, "encapsulation-type" should be specified as the
Ethernet VLAN encapsulation (if VLAN-based) or VXLAN encapsulation,
and "eth-inf-type" should be set to indicate a tagged interface.
In addition, "tagged-interface-type" should be specified in the
"tagged-interface" container to determine how tagging needs to be
done. The current model defines five ways to perform VLAN tagging:
o priority-tagged: SPs encapsulate and tag packets between the CE
and the PE with the frame priority level.
o dot1q-vlan-tagged: SPs encapsulate packets between the CE and the
PE with one or a set of customer VLAN (CVLAN) IDs.
o qinq: SPs encapsulate packets that enter their networks with
multiple CVLAN IDs and a single VLAN tag with a single SP VLAN
(SVLAN).
o qinany: SPs encapsulate packets that enter their networks with
unknown CVLANs and a single VLAN tag with a single SVLAN.
o vxlan: SPs encapsulate packets that enter their networks with a
VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) and a peer list.
The overall S-tag for the Ethernet circuit and (if applicable)
C-tag-to-SVC mapping (where "SVC" stands for "Switched Virtual
Circuit") have been placed in the "service" container. For the qinq
and qinany options, the S-tag under "qinq" and "qinany" should match
the S-tag in the service container in most cases; however, VLAN
translation is required for the S-tag in certain deployments at the
external-facing interface or upstream PEs to "normalize" the outer
VLAN tag to the service S-tag into the network and translate back to
the site's S-tag in the opposite direction. One example of this is
with a Layer 2 aggregation switch along the path: the S-tag for the
SVC has been previously assigned to another service and thus cannot
be used by this AC.
5.3.2.2.3. LAG Interface
Sometimes, the customer may require multiple physical links bundled
together to form a single, logical, point-to-point LAG connection to
the SP. Typically, the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is
used to dynamically manage adding or deleting member links of the
aggregate group. In general, a LAG allows for increased service
bandwidth beyond the speed of a single physical link while providing
graceful degradation as failure occurs, thus increasing availability.
In the L2SM, there is a set of attributes under "lag-interface"
related to link aggregation functionality. The customer and provider
first need to decide on whether LACP PDUs will be exchanged between
the edge devices by specifying the "LACP-state" as "on" or "off". If
LACP is to be enabled, then both parties need to further specify
(1) whether LACP will be running in active or passive mode and
(2) the time interval and priority level of the LACP PDU. The
customer and provider can also determine the minimum aggregate
bandwidth for a LAG to be considered as a valid path by specifying
the optional "mini-link-num" attribute. To enable fast detection of
faulty links, micro-BFD [RFC7130] ("BFD" stands for "Bidirectional
Forwarding Detection") runs independent UDP sessions to monitor the
status of each member link. The customer and provider should agree
on the BFD hello interval and hold time.
Each member link will be listed under the LAG interface with basic
physical link properties. Certain attributes, such as flow control,
encapsulation type, allowed ingress Ethertype, and LLDP settings, are
at the LAG level.
5.3.2.2.4. CVLAN-ID-to-SVC Mapping
When more than one service is multiplexed onto the same interface,
ingress service frames are conditionally transmitted through one of
the L2VPN services based upon a pre-arranged customer-VLAN-to-SVC
mapping. Multiple CVLANs can be bundled across the same SVC. The
bundling type will determine how a group of CVLANs is bundled into
one VPN service (i.e., VLAN-bundling).
When applicable, "cvlan-id-to-svc-map" contains the list of CVLANs
that are mapped to the same service. In most cases, this will be the
VLAN access-list for the inner 802.1Q tag [IEEE-802-1Q] (the C-tag).
A VPN service can be set to preserve the CE-VLAN ID and CE-VLAN CoS
from the source site to the destination site. This is required when
the customer wants to use the VLAN header information between its two
sites. CE-VLAN ID preservation and CE-VLAN CoS preservation are
applied on each site-network-access within sites. "Preservation"
means that the value of the CE-VLAN ID and/or CE-VLAN CoS at the
source site must be equal to the value at a destination site
belonging to the same L2VPN service.
If all-to-one bundling is enabled (i.e., the bundling type is set to
"all-to-one bundling"), then preservation applies to all ingress
service frames. If all-to-one bundling is disabled, then
preservation applies to tagged ingress service frames having the
CE-VLAN ID.
5.3.2.2.5. L2CP Control Support
The customer and the SP should arrange in advance whether or not to
allow control-plane protocol interaction between the CE devices and
the PE device. To provide seamless operation with multicast data
transport, the transparent operation of Ethernet control protocols
(e.g., the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) [IEEE-802-1D]) can be
employed by customers.
To support efficient dynamic transport, Ethernet multicast control
frames (e.g., GARP/GMRP [IEEE-802-1D]) can be used between the CE and
the PE. However, solutions MUST NOT assume that all CEs are always
running such protocols (typically in the case where a CE is a router
and is not aware of Layer 2 details).
The destination MAC addresses of these L2CP PDUs fall within two
reserved blocks specified by the IEEE 802.1 Working Group. Packets
with destination MAC addresses in these multicast ranges have special
forwarding rules.
o Bridge block of protocols: 01-80-C2-00-00-00 through
01-80-C2-00-00-0F
o MRP block of protocols: 01-80-C2-00-00-20 through
01-80-C2-00-00-2F
Layer 2 protocol tunneling allows SPs to pass subscriber Layer 2
control PDUs across the network without being interpreted and
processed by intermediate network devices. These L2CP PDUs are
transparently encapsulated across the MPLS-enabled core network in
QinQ fashion.
The "L2CP-control" container contains the list of commonly used L2CP
protocols and parameters. The SP can specify discard-mode,
peer-mode, or tunnel-mode actions for each individual protocol.
5.3.2.2.6. Ethernet Service OAM
The advent of Ethernet as a wide-area network technology brings the
additional requirements of end-to-end service monitoring and fault
management in the SP network, particularly in the area of service
availability and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). Ethernet Service OAM in
the L2SM refers to the combined protocol suites of IEEE 802.1ag
[IEEE-802-1ag] and ITU-T Y.1731 [ITU-T-Y-1731].
Generally speaking, Ethernet Service OAM enables SPs to perform
service continuity checks, fault isolation, and packet delay/jitter
measurement at per-customer and per-site-network-access granularity.
The information collected from Ethernet Service OAM data sets is
complementary to other higher-layer IP/MPLS OSS tools to ensure that
the required SLAs can be met.
The 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) functional model is
structured with hierarchical Maintenance Domains (MDs), each assigned
with a unique maintenance level. Higher-level MDs can be nested over
lower-level MDs. However, the MDs cannot intersect. The scope of
each MD can be solely within a customer network or solely within the
SP network. An MD can interact between CEs and PEs (customer-to-
provider) or between PEs (provider-to-provider), or it can tunnel
over another SP network.
Depending on the use-case scenario, one or more Maintenance Entity
Group End Points (MEPs) can be placed on the external-facing
interface, sending CFM PDUs towards the core network ("Up MEP") or
downstream link ("Down MEP").
The "cfm-802.1-ag" sub-container under "site-network-access" presents
the CFM Maintenance Association (MA), i.e., Down MEP for the UNI MA.
For each MA, the user can define the Maintenance Association
Identifier (MAID), MEP level, MEP direction, Remote MEP ID, CoS level
of the CFM PDUs, Continuity Check Message (CCM) interval and hold
time, alarm-priority defect (i.e., the lowest-priority defect that is
allowed to generate a fault alarm), CCM priority type, etc.
ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring (PM) provides essential network
telemetry information that includes the measurement of Ethernet
service frame delay, frame delay variation, frame loss, and frame
throughput. The delay/jitter measurement can be either one-way or
two-way. Typically, a Y.1731 PM probe sends a small amount of
synthetic frames along with service frames to measure the SLA
parameters.
The "y-1731" sub-container under "site-network-access" contains a set
of parameters to define the PM probe information, including MAID,
local and Remote MEP ID, PM PDU type, message period and measurement
interval, CoS level of the PM PDUs, loss measurement by synthetic or
service frame options, one-way or two-way delay measurement, PM frame
size, and session type.
5.4. Site Roles
A VPN has a particular service topology, as described in
Section 5.2.2. As a consequence, each site belonging to a VPN is
assigned a particular role in this topology. The site-role leaf
defines the role of the site in a particular VPN topology.
In the any-to-any VPN service topology, all sites MUST have the same
role, which will be "any-to-any-role".
In the Hub-and-Spoke VPN service topology or the Hub-and-Spoke-
Disjoint VPN service topology, sites MUST have a Hub role or a
Spoke role.
5.5. Site Belonging to Multiple VPNs
5.5.1. Site VPN Flavors
A site may be part of one or more VPNs. The "site-vpn-flavor"
defines the way that the VPN multiplexing is done. There are four
possible types of external-facing connections associated with an EVPN
service and a site. Therefore, the model supports four flavors:
o site-vpn-flavor-single: The site belongs to only one VPN.
o site-vpn-flavor-multi: The site belongs to multiple VPNs, and all
the logical accesses of the sites belong to the same set of VPNs.
o site-vpn-flavor-nni: The site represents an NNI where two
administrative domains belonging to the same or different
providers interconnect.
o site-vpn-flavor-e2e: The site represents an end-to-end
multi-segment connection.
5.5.1.1. Single VPN Attachment: site-vpn-flavor-single
Figure 14 depicts a single VPN attachment. The site connects to only
one VPN.

Figure 15: Multi-VPN Attachment
In Figure 15, the New York office is multihomed. Both logical
accesses are using the same VPN attachment rules, and both are
connected to VPN A and to VPN B.
Reaching VPN A or VPN B from the New York office will be done via MAC
destination-based forwarding. Having the same destination reachable
from the two VPNs may cause routing problems. The customer
administration's role in this case would be to ensure the appropriate
mapping of its MAC addresses in each VPN. See Sections 5.5.2 and
5.10.2 for more details. See also Section 5.10.3 for details
regarding support for BUM.
5.5.1.3. NNI: site-vpn-flavor-nni
A Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) scenario may be modeled using
the sites container. It is helpful for the SP to indicate that the
requested VPN connection is not a regular site but rather is an NNI,
as specific default device configuration parameters may be applied in
the case of NNIs (e.g., Access Control Lists (ACLs), routing
policies).

------------------- -------------------
Figure 16: Option A NNI Scenario
Figure 16 illustrates an option A NNI scenario that can be modeled
using the sites container. In order to connect its customer VPNs
(VPN1 and VPN2) in SP B, SP A may request the creation of some
site-network-accesses to SP B. The site-vpn-flavor-nni type will
be used to inform SP B that this is an NNI and not a regular
customer site.
5.5.1.4. E2E: site-vpn-flavor-e2e
An end-to-end (E2E) multi-segment VPN connection to be constructed
out of several connectivity segments may be modeled. It is helpful
for the SP to indicate that the requested VPN connection is not a
regular site but rather is an end-to-end VPN connection, as specific
default device configuration parameters may be applied in the case of
site-vpn-flavor-e2e (e.g., QoS configuration). In order to establish
a connection between Site 1 in SP A and Site 2 in SP B spanning
multiple domains, SP A may request the creation of end-to-end
connectivity to SP B. The site-vpn-flavor-e2e type will be used to
indicate that this is an end-to-end connectivity setup and not a
regular customer site.
5.5.2. Attaching a Site to a VPN
Due to the multiple site-vpn flavors, the attachment of a site to an
L2VPN is done at the site-network-access (logical access) level
through the "vpn-attachment" container. The vpn-attachment container
is mandatory. The model provides two ways to attach a site to a VPN:
o By referencing the target VPN directly.
o By referencing a VPN policy for attachments that are more complex.
These options allow the user to choose the flavor that provides the
best fit.
5.5.2.1. Referencing a VPN
Notes:
The cos-id must be included when the bandwidth type is set to "bw-per-cos".
Referencing a vpn-id provides an easy way to attach a particular
logical access to a VPN. This is the best way in the case of a
single VPN attachment. When referencing a vpn-id, the site-role
setting must be added to express the role of the site in the target
VPN service topology.

The example above describes a multi-VPN case where a site (SITE 1)
has two logical accesses (LA1 and LA2), attached to both VPNA and
VPNB.
5.5.2.2. VPN Policy
The "vpn-policy" list helps express a multi-VPN scenario where a
logical access belongs to multiple VPNs.
As a site can belong to multiple VPNs, the vpn-policy list may be
composed of multiple entries. A filter can be applied to specify
that only some LANs at the site should be part of a particular VPN.
A site can be composed of multiple LAN segments, and each LAN segment
can be connected to a different VPN. Each time a site (or LAN) is
attached to a VPN, the user must precisely describe its role
(site-role) within the target VPN service topology.

Figure 17: VPN Policy Example
In Figure 17, Site 5 is part of two VPNs: VPN3 and VPN2. It will
play a Hub role in VPN2 and an any-to-any role in VPN3. We can
express such a multi-VPN scenario as follows:

5.6. Deciding Where to Connect the Site
The management system will have to determine where to connect each
site-network-access of a particular site to the provider network
(e.g., PE or aggregation switch).
This model defines parameters and constraints that can influence the
meshing of the site-network-access.
The management system MUST honor all customer constraints, or, if a
constraint is too strict and cannot be fulfilled, the management
system MUST NOT provision the site and MUST provide the user with
information regarding any constraints that could not be fulfilled.
How this information is provided is out of scope for this document.
Whether or not to relax the constraint would then be left up to
the user.
Parameters such as site location (see Section 5.6.2) and access type
(see Section 5.6.3) affect the service placement that the management
system applies.
In addition to parameters and constraints, the management system's
decision MAY be based on any other internal constraints that are left
up to the SP, e.g., least load, distance.
5.6.1. Constraint: Device
In the case of provider management or co-management, one or more
devices have been ordered by the customer to a particular location
that has already been configured. The customer may force a
particular site-network-access to be connected on a particular device
that it ordered.
New York Site
+------------------+ Site
| +--------------+ |-------------------------------------
| | Manhattan | |
| | CE1********* (site-network-access#1) ******
| +--------------+ |
| +--------------+ |
| | Brooklyn | |
| | CE2********* (site-network-access#2) ******
| +--------------+ |
| |-------------------------------------
+------------------+
Figure 18: Example of a Constraint Applied to a Device
In Figure 18, site-network-access#1 is associated with CE1 in the
service request. The SP must ensure the provisioning of this
connection.
5.6.2. Constraint/Parameter: Site Location
The location information provided in this model MAY be used by a
management system to determine the target PE to mesh the site (SP
side). A particular location must be associated with each site
network access when configuring it. The SP MUST honor the
termination of the access on the location associated with the site
network access (customer side). The "country-code" in the site
location should be expressed as an ISO 3166 code and is similar to
the "country" label defined in [RFC4119].
The site-network-access location is determined by the
"location-flavor". In the case of a provider-managed or co-managed
site, the user is expected to configure a "device-reference" (device
case) that will bind the site-network-access to a particular device
that the customer ordered. As each device is already associated with
a particular location, in such a case the location information is
retrieved from the device location. In the case of a
customer-managed site, the user is expected to configure a
"location-reference" (location case); this provides a reference to an
existing configured location and will help with placement.

POP#3 (Philadelphia)
+---------+
| PE7 |
Site 2 CE#1---... | PE8 |
(Reston) | PE9 |
+---------+
Figure 19: Location Information for Sites
In Figure 19, Site 1 is a customer-managed site with a location "L1",
while Site 2 is a provider-managed site for which a CE (CE#1) was
ordered. Site 2 is configured with "L2" as its location. When
configuring a site-network-access for Site 1, the user will need to
reference location L1 so that the management system will know that
the access will need to terminate on this location. Then, for
distance reasons, this management system may mesh Site 1 on a PE in
the Philadelphia POP. It may also take into account resources
available on PEs to determine the exact target PE (e.g., least
loaded). For Site 2, the user is expected to configure the
site-network-access with a device-reference to CE#1 so that the
management system will know that the access must terminate on the
location of CE#1 and must be connected to CE#1. For placement of the
SP side of the access connection, in the case of the nearest PE used,
it may mesh Site 2 on the Washington POP.
5.6.3. Constraint/Parameter: Access Type
The management system needs to elect the access media to connect the
site to the customer (for example, xDSL, leased line, Ethernet
backhaul). The customer may provide some parameters/constraints that
will provide hints to the management system.
The bearer container information SHOULD be the first piece of
information considered when making this decision:
o The "requested-type" parameter provides information about the
media type that the customer would like to use. If the "strict"
leaf is equal to "true", this MUST be considered a strict
constraint so that the management system cannot connect the site
with another media type. If the "strict" leaf is equal to "false"
(default) and if the requested media type cannot be fulfilled, the
management system can select another media type. The supported
media types SHOULD be communicated by the SP to the customer via a
mechanism that is out of scope for this document.
o The "always-on" leaf defines a strict constraint: if set to
"true", the management system MUST elect a media type that is
"always-on" (e.g., this means no dial-in access type).
o The "bearer-reference" parameter is used in cases where the
customer has already ordered a network connection to the SP apart
from the L2VPN site and wants to reuse this connection. The
string used is an internal reference from the SP and describes the
already-available connection. This is also a strict requirement
that cannot be relaxed. How the reference is given to the
customer is out of scope for this document, but as an example,
when the customer ordered the bearer (through a process that is
out of scope for this model), the SP may have provided the bearer
reference that can be used for provisioning services on top.
Any other internal parameters from the SP can also be used. The
management system MAY use other parameters, such as the requested
"input svc-bandwidth" and "output svc-bandwidth", to help decide
which access type to use.
5.6.4. Constraint: Access Diversity
Each site-network-access may have one or more constraints that would
drive the placement of the access. By default, the model assumes
that there are no constraints, but allocation of a unique bearer per
site-network-access is expected.
In order to help with the different placement scenarios, a
site-network-access may be tagged using one or multiple group
identifiers. The group identifier is a string, so it can accommodate
both explicit naming of a group of sites (e.g., "multihomed-set1")
and the use of a numbered identifier (e.g., 12345678). The meaning
of each group-id is local to each customer administrator, and the
management system MUST ensure that different customers can use the
same group-ids. One or more group-ids can also be defined at the
site level; as a consequence, all site-network-accesses under the
site MUST inherit the group-ids of the site to which they belong.
When, in addition to the site group-ids some group-ids are defined at
the site-network-access level, the management system MUST consider
the union of all groups (site level and site-network-access level)
for this particular site-network-access.
For an already-configured site-network-access, each constraint MUST
be expressed against a targeted set of site-network-accesses. This
site-network-access (i.e., the already-configured
site-network-access) MUST never be taken into account in the targeted
set of site-network-accesses -- for example, "My site-network-access
S must not be connected on the same POP as the site-network-accesses
that are part of Group 10." The set of site-network-accesses against
which the constraint is evaluated can be expressed as a list of
groups, "all-other-accesses", or "all-other-groups". The
all-other-accesses option means that the current site-network-access
constraint MUST be evaluated against all the other
site-network-accesses belonging to the current site. The
all-other-groups option means that the constraint MUST be evaluated
against all groups to which the current site-network-access does not
belong.
The current model defines multiple constraint-types:
o pe-diverse: The current site-network-access MUST NOT be connected
to the same PE as the targeted site-network-accesses.
o pop-diverse: The current site-network-access MUST NOT be connected
to the same POP as the targeted site-network-accesses.
o linecard-diverse: The current site-network-access MUST NOT be
connected to the same linecard as the targeted site-network-
accesses. Note that the customer can request linecard-diverse for
site-network-accesses, but the specific linecard identifier used
should not be exposed to the customer.
o bearer-diverse: The current site-network-access MUST NOT use
common bearer components compared to bearers used by the targeted
site-network-accesses. "bearer-diverse" provides some level of
diversity at the access level. As an example, two bearer-diverse
site-network-accesses must not use the same Digital Subscriber
Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), Broadband Access Switch (BAS), or
Layer 2 switch.
o same-pe: The current site-network-access MUST be connected to the
same PE as the targeted site-network-accesses.
o same-bearer: The current site-network-access MUST be connected
using the same bearer as the targeted site-network-accesses.
These constraint-types can be extended through augmentation. Each
constraint is expressed as "The site-network-access S must be
<constraint-type> (e.g., pe-diverse, pop-diverse) from these <target>
site-network-accesses."
The group-id used to target some site-network-accesses may be the
same as the one used by the current site-network-access. This eases
the configuration of scenarios where a group of site-network-access
points has a constraint between the access points in the group.
5.7. Route Distinguisher and Network Instance Allocation
The Route Distinguisher (RD) is a critical parameter of BGP-based
L2VPNs as described in [RFC4364] that provides the ability to
distinguish common addressing plans in different VPNs. As for Route
Targets (RTs), a management system is expected to allocate a MAC-VRF
on the target PE and an RD for that MAC-VRF; that RD MUST be unique
across all MAC-VRFs on the target PE.
If a MAC-VRF already exists on the target PE and the MAC-VRF fulfills
the connectivity constraints for the site, there is no need to
recreate another MAC-VRF, and the site MAY be meshed within the
existing MAC-VRF. How the management system checks to see if an
existing MAC-VRF fulfills the connectivity constraints for a site is
out of scope for this document.
If no such MAC-VRF exists on the target PE, the management system has
to initiate the creation of a new MAC-VRF on the target PE and has to
allocate a new RD for the new MAC-VRF.
The management system MAY apply a per-VPN or per-MAC-VRF allocation
policy for the RD, depending on the SP's policy. In a per-VPN
allocation policy, all MAC-VRFs (dispatched on multiple PEs) within a
VPN will share the same RD value. In a per-MAC-VRF model, all
MAC-VRFs should always have a unique RD value. Some other allocation
policies are also possible, and this document does not restrict the
allocation policies to be used.
The allocation of RDs MAY be done in the same way as RTs. The
information provided in Section 5.2.2.1 could also be used in this
scenario.
Note that an SP MAY configure a target PE for an automated allocation
of RDs. In this case, there will be no need for any backend system
to allocate an RD value.
5.8. Site-Network-Access Availability
A site may be multihomed, meaning that it has multiple
site-network-access points. The placement constraints defined in
Section 5.6 will help ensure physical diversity.
When the site-network-accesses are placed on the network, a customer
may want to use a particular routing policy on those accesses. The
"site-network-access/availability" container defines parameters for
site redundancy. The "access-priority" leaf defines a preference for
a particular access. This preference is used to model load-balancing
or primary/backup scenarios. The higher the access-priority value,
the higher the preference will be. The "redundancy-mode" attribute
is defined for a multihoming site and used to model single-active and
active/active scenarios. It allows for multiple active paths in
forwarding state and for load-balancing options.
Figure 20 illustrates how the access-priority attribute can be used.

| access-priority 1 access-priority 1 |

PE5

Spoke#1 site (Single-homed)
Figure 20: Example: Configuring Access Priority
In Figure 20, Hub#2 requires load-sharing, so all the site-network-
accesses must use the same access-priority value. On the other hand,
as Hub#1 requires a primary site-network-access and a backup
site-network-access, a higher access-priority setting will be
configured on the primary site-network-access.
Scenarios that are more complex can also be modeled. Let's consider
a Hub site with five accesses to the network (A1, A2, A3, A4, and
A5). The customer wants to load-share its traffic on A1 and A2 in
the nominal situation. If A1 and A2 fail, the customer wants to
load-share its traffic on A3 and A4; finally, if A1, A2, A3, and A4
are all down, the customer wants to use A5. We can model this easily
by configuring the following access-priority values: A1=100, A2=100,
A3=50, A4=50, A5=10.
The access-priority scenario has some limitations. An
access-priority scenario like the previous one with five accesses but
with the constraint of having traffic load-shared between A3 and A4
in the case where only A1 or A2 (not both) is down is not achievable.
But the access-priority attribute defined will cover most of the
deployment use cases, and if necessary the model can be extended via
augmentation to support additional use cases.
5.9. SVC MTU
The MTU of subscriber service frames can be derived from the physical
interface MTU by default, or it can be specified under the "svc-mtu"
leaf if it is different than the default number.
5.10. Service
The service container defines service parameters associated with
the site.
5.10.1. Bandwidth
The service bandwidth refers to the bandwidth requirement between the
CE and the PE and can be represented using the Committed Information
Rate (CIR), the Excess Information Rate (EIR), or the Peak
Information Rate (PIR). The requested bandwidth is expressed as
ingress bandwidth and egress bandwidth. The ingress or egress
direction uses the customer site as the point of reference:
"ingress-direction bandwidth" refers to download bandwidth for the
site, and "egress-direction bandwidth" refers to upload bandwidth for
the site.
The service bandwidth is only configurable at the site-network-access
level (i.e., for the site network access associated with the site).
Using a different ingress and egress bandwidth will allow an SP to
know if a customer allows for asymmetric bandwidth access like ADSL.
It can also be used to set the rate limit in a different way for
uploads and downloads on symmetric bandwidth access.
The svc-bandwidth parameter has a specific type. This document
defines four types:
o bw-per-access: bandwidth is per connection or site network access,
providing rate enforcement for all service frames at the interface
that are associated with a particular network access.
o bw-per-cos: bandwidth is per CoS, providing rate enforcement for
all service frames for a given CoS with a specific cos-id.
o bw-per-svc: bandwidth is per site, providing rate enforcement for
all service frames that are associated with a particular VPN
service.
o opaque bandwidth is the total bandwidth that is not associated
with any particular cos-id, VPN service identified with the
vpn-id, or site network access ID.
The svc-bandwidth parameter must include a "cos-id" parameter if the
"type" is set to "bw-per-cos". The cos-id can be assigned based on
either (1) the IEEE 802.1p value [IEEE-802-1D] in the C-tag or
(2) the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in the IP
header. Service frames are metered against the bandwidth
profile based on the cos-id.
EID 5615 (Verified) is as follows:Section: 5.10.1
Original Text:
The svc-bandwidth parameter must include a "cos-id" parameter if the
"type" is set to "bw-per-cos". The cos-id can be assigned based on
either (1) the IEEE 802.1p value [IEEE-802-1D] in the C-tag or
(2) the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in the Ethernet
frame header. Service frames are metered against the bandwidth
profile based on the cos-id.
Corrected Text:

"type" is set to "bw-per-cos". The cos-id can be assigned based on

(2) the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in the IP
header. Service frames are metered against the bandwidth
profile based on the cos-id.
Notes:
The DSCP field is part of the IP packet header, not the Ethernet frame руфвук.
The svc-bandwidth parameter must be associated with a specific
"site-network-access-id" parameter if the "type" is set to
"bw-per-access". Multiple bandwidths per cos-id can be associated
with the same site network access.
The svc-bandwidth parameter must include a specific "vpn-id"
parameter if the "type" is set to "bw-per-svc". Multiple bandwidths
per cos-id can be associated with the same EVPN service.
5.10.2. QoS
The model defines QoS parameters as an abstraction:
o qos-classification-policy: Defines a set of ordered rules to
classify customer traffic.
o qos-profile: Provides a QoS scheduling profile to be applied.
5.10.2.1. QoS Classification
QoS classification rules are handled by "qos-classification-policy".
qos-classification-policy is an ordered list of rules that match a
flow or application and set the appropriate target CoS
(target-class-id). The user can define the match using a
more specific flow definition (based on Layer 2 source and
destination MAC addresses, dscp, color-type, etc.). A
"color-type" will be assigned to a service frame to identify its QoS
profile conformance. A service frame is "green" if it is conformant
with the "committed" rate of the bandwidth profile. A service frame
is "yellow" if it exceeds the "committed" rate but is conformant with
the "excess" rate of the bandwidth profile. Finally, a service frame
is "red" if it is conformant with neither the "committed" rate nor
the "excess" rate of the bandwidth profile.
EID 6683 (Verified) is as follows:Section: 5.10.2.1
Original Text:

"color-id" will be assigned to a service frame to identify its QoS
profile conformance. A service frame is "green" if it is conformant
with the "committed" rate of the bandwidth profile. A service frame
is "yellow" if it exceeds the "committed" rate but is conformant with
the "excess" rate of the bandwidth profile. Finally, a service frame
is "red" if it is conformant with neither the "committed" rate nor
the "excess" rate of the bandwidth profile.

is "red" if it is conformant with neither the "committed" rate nor

Notes:
There is no "color-id" under "qos-classification-policy". The text should refer to "color-type" given that the "qos-classification-policy" substree is as follows:
The corrected text uses "color-type" instead of "color-id" and removes "cos" and "cos-id" from the flow definition examples.
When a flow definition is used, the user can use a target-sites
leaf-list to identify the destination of a flow rather than using
destination addresses. In such a case, an association between the
site abstraction and the MAC addresses used by this site must be done
dynamically. How this association is done is out of scope for this
document. The association of a site to an L2VPN is done through the
vpn-attachment container. Therefore, the user can also employ the
"target-sites" leaf-list and "vpn-attachment" to identify the
destination of a flow targeted to a specific VPN service. A rule
that does not have a "match" statement is considered a "match-all"
rule. An SP may implement a default terminal classification rule if
the customer does not provide it. It will be up to the SP to
determine its default target class. This model defines some
applications, but new application identities may be added through
augmentation. The exact meaning of each application identity is up
to the SP, so it will be necessary for the SP to advise the customer
on the usage of application-matching.
5.10.2.2. QoS Profile
A user can choose between the standard profile provided by the
operator or a custom profile. The QoS profile ("qos-profile")
defines the traffic-scheduling policy to be used by the SP.
A custom QoS profile is defined as a list of CoS entries and
associated properties. The properties are as follows:
o direction: Used to specify the direction to which the qos-profile
setting is applied. This model supports the site-to-WAN direction
("site-to-wan"), the WAN-to-site direction ("wan-to-site"), and
both directions ("bidirectional"). By default, "bidirectional" is
used. In the case of both directions, the provider should ensure
scheduling according to the requested policy in both traffic
directions (SP to customer and customer to SP). As an example, a
device-scheduling policy may be implemented on both the PE side
and the CE side of the WAN link. In the case of the WAN-to-site
direction, the provider should ensure scheduling from the SP
network to the customer site. As an example, a device-scheduling
policy may be implemented only on the PE side of the WAN link
towards the customer.
o policing: Optional. Indicates whether policing should apply to
one-rate, two-color or to two-rate, three-color.
o byte-offset: Optional. Indicates how many bytes in the service
frame header are excluded from rate enforcement.
o frame-delay: Used to define the latency constraint of the class.
The latency constraint can be expressed as the lowest possible
latency or as a latency boundary expressed in milliseconds. How
this latency constraint will be fulfilled is up to the SP
implementation: a strict priority-queuing mechanism may be used on
the access and in the core network, or a low-latency routing path
may be created for this traffic class.
o frame-jitter: Used to define the jitter constraint of the class.
The jitter constraint can be expressed as the lowest possible
jitter or as a jitter boundary expressed in microseconds. How
this jitter constraint will be fulfilled is up to the SP
implementation: a strict priority-queuing mechanism may be used on
the access and in the core network, or a jitter-aware routing path
may be created for this traffic class.
o bandwidth: Used to define a guaranteed amount of bandwidth for
the CoS. It is expressed as a percentage. The
"guaranteed-bw-percent" parameter uses available bandwidth as a
reference. The available bandwidth should not fall below the CIR
value defined under the input svc-bandwidth or the output
svc-bandwidth. When the "qos-profile" container is implemented on
the CE side, the output svc-bandwidth is taken into account as a
reference. When it is implemented on the PE side, the input
svc-bandwidth is used. By default, the bandwidth reservation is
only guaranteed at the access level. The user can use the
"end-to-end" leaf to request an end-to-end bandwidth reservation,
including across the MPLS transport network. (In other words, the
SP will activate something in the MPLS core to ensure that the
bandwidth request from the customer will be fulfilled by the MPLS
core as well.) How this is done (e.g., RSVP-TE reservation,
controller reservation) is out of scope for this document.
In addition, due to network conditions, some constraints may not be
completely fulfilled by the SP; in this case, the SP should advise
the customer about the limitations. How this communication is done
is out of scope for this document.
5.10.3. Support for BUM
The "broadcast-unknown-unicast-multicast" container defines the type
of site in the customer multicast service topology: source, receiver,
or both. These parameters will help the management system optimize
the multicast service.
Multiple multicast group-to-port mappings can be created using the
"multicast-gp-address-mapping" list. The
"multicast-gp-address-mapping" list defines the multicast group
address and port LAG number. Those parameters will help the SP
select the appropriate association between an interface and a
multicast group to fulfill the customer service requirement.
To ensure that a given frame is transparently transported, a whole
Layer 2 multicast frame (whether for data or control) should not be
altered from a CE to other CEs, except for the VLAN ID field. VLAN
IDs assigned by the SP can also be altered.
For point-to-point services, the provider only needs to deliver a
single copy of each service frame to the remote PE, regardless of
whether the destination MAC address of the incoming frame is unicast,
multicast, or broadcast. Therefore, all service frames should be
delivered unconditionally.
BUM frame forwarding in multipoint-to-multipoint services, on the
other hand, involves both local flooding to other ACs on the same PE
and remote replication to all other PEs, thus consuming additional
resources and core bandwidth. Special BUM frame disposition rules
can be implemented at external-facing interfaces (UNIs or External
NNIs (E-NNIs)) to rate-limit the BUM frames, in terms of the number
of packets per second or bits per second.
The threshold can apply to all BUM traffic, or one threshold can be
applied for each category of traffic.
5.11. Site Management
The "management" sub-container is intended for site management
options, depending on device ownership and security access control.
Three common management models are as follows:
Provider-managed CE: The provider has sole ownership of the CE
device. Only the provider has access to the CE. The
responsibility boundary between the SP and the customer is between
the CE and the customer network. This is the most common
use case.
Customer-managed CE: The customer has sole ownership of the CE
device. Only the customer has access to the CE. In this model,
the responsibility boundary between the SP and the customer is
between the PE and the CE.
Co-managed CE: The provider has ownership of the CE device and is
responsible for managing the CE. However, the provider grants the
customer access to the CE for some configuration/monitoring
purposes. In this co-managed mode, the responsibility boundary is
the same as for the provider-managed model.
The selected management mode is specified under the "type" leaf. The
"address" leaf stores CE device management addressing information.
The "management-transport" leaf is used to identify the transport
protocol for management traffic: IPv4 or IPv6. Additional security
options may be derived based on the particular management model
selected.
5.12. MAC Loop Protection
MAC address flapping between different physical ports typically
indicates a bridge loop condition in the customer network.
Misleading entries in the MAC cache table can cause service frames to
circulate around the network indefinitely and saturate the links
throughout the provider's network, affecting other services in the
same network. In the case of EVPNs, it also introduces massive BGP
updates and control-plane instability.
The SP may opt to implement a switching loop-prevention mechanism at
the external-facing interfaces for multipoint-to-multipoint services
by imposing a MAC address move threshold.
The MAC move rate and prevention-type options are listed in the
"mac-loop-prevention" container.
5.13. MAC Address Limit
The optional "mac-addr-limit" container contains the customer MAC
address limit and information that describes the action taken when
the limit is exceeded and the aging time for a MAC address.
When multiple services are provided on the same network element, the
MAC address table (and the Routing Information Base space for
MAC routes in the case of EVPNs) is a shared common resource. SPs
may impose a maximum number of MAC addresses learned from the
customer for a single service instance by using the "mac-addr-limit"
leaf and may use the "action" leaf to specify the action taken when
the upper limit is exceeded: drop the packet, flood the packet, or
simply send a warning log message.
For point-to-point services, if MAC learning is disabled, then the
MAC address limit is not necessary.
5.14. Enhanced VPN Features
5.14.1. Carriers' Carriers
In the case of Carriers' Carriers (CsC) [RFC8299], a customer may
want to build an MPLS service using an L2VPN to carry its traffic.

Figure 21: MPLS Service Using an L2VPN to Carry Traffic
In Figure 21, ISP1 resells an L2VPN service but has no core network
infrastructure between its POPs. ISP1 uses an L2VPN as the core
network infrastructure (belonging to another provider) between
its POPs.
In order to support CsC, the VPN service must indicate MPLS support
by setting the "carrierscarrier" leaf to "true" in the vpn-service
list. The link between CE1_ISP1/PE1 and CE2_ISP1/PE2 must also run
an MPLS signaling protocol. This configuration is done at the site
level.
In this model, LDP or BGP can be used as the MPLS signaling protocol.
In the case of LDP, an IGP routing protocol MUST also be activated.
In the case of BGP signaling, BGP MUST also be configured as the
routing protocol.
If CsC is enabled, the requested "svc-mtu" leaf will refer to the
MPLS MTU and not to the link MTU.
5.15. External ID References
The service model sometimes refers to external information through
identifiers. As an example, to order cloud access to a particular
Cloud Service Provider (CSP), the model uses an identifier to refer
to the targeted CSP. If a customer is directly using this service
model as an API (through RESTCONF or NETCONF, for example) to order a
particular service, the SP should provide a list of authorized
identifiers. In the case of cloud access, the SP will provide the
associated identifiers for each available CSP. The same applies to
other identifiers, such as qos-profile.
As a usage example, the remote-carrier-name setting is used in the
NNI case because it should be known by the current L2VPN SP to which
it is connecting, while the cloud-identifier setting should be known
by both the current L2VPN SP and the customer because it is applied
to the public cloud or Internet access.
How an SP provides the meanings of those identifiers to the customer
is out of scope for this document.
5.16. Defining NNIs and Inter-AS Support
An Autonomous System (AS) is a single network or group of networks
that are controlled by a common system administration group and that
use a single, clearly defined routing protocol. In some cases, VPNs
need to span different ASes in different geographical areas or span
different SPs. The connection between ASes is established by the SPs
and is seamless to the customer. Examples include:
o A partnership between SPs (e.g., carrier, cloud) to extend their
VPN services seamlessly.
o An internal administrative boundary within a single SP (e.g.,
backhaul versus core versus data center).
NNIs have to be defined to extend the VPNs across multiple ASes.
[RFC4761] defines multiple flavors of VPN NNI implementations (e.g.,
VPLSs). Each implementation has pros and cons; this topic is outside
the scope of this document. For example, in an inter-AS option A
(two ASes), AS Border Router (ASBR) peers are connected by multiple
interfaces with at least one of those interfaces spanning the two
ASes while being present in the same VPN. In order for these ASBRs
to signal label blocks, they associate each interface with a MAC-VRF
(VSI) (Section 2) and a BGP session. As a result, traffic between
devices in the back-to-back VPLS is Ethernet. In this scenario, the
VPNs are isolated from each other, and because the traffic is
Ethernet, QoS mechanisms that operate on Ethernet traffic can be
applied to achieve customer SLAs.

Figure 22 illustrates an SP network called "My network" that has
several NNIs. This network uses NNIs to:
o increase its footprint by relying on L2VPN partners.
o connect its own data-center services to the customer L2VPN.
o enable the customer to access its private resources located in a
private cloud owned by some CSPs.

Figure 23: NNI Defined with the Option A Flavor: Example 1
In option A, the two ASes are connected to each other with physical
links on ASBRs. For resiliency purposes, there may be multiple
physical connections between the ASes. A VPN connection -- physical
or logical (on top of physical) -- is created for each VPN that needs
to cross the AS boundary, thus providing a back-to-back VPLS model.
From a service model's perspective, this VPN connection can be seen
as a site. Let's say that AS B wants to extend some VPN connections
for VPN C on AS A. The administrator of AS B can use this service
model to order a site on AS A. All connection scenarios could be
realized using the features of the current model. As an example,
Figure 23 shows two physical connections that have logical
connections per VPN overlaid on them. This could be seen as a
multi-VPN scenario. Also, the administrator of AS B will be able to
choose the appropriate routing protocol (e.g., External BGP (EBGP))
to dynamically exchange routes between ASes.
This document assumes that the option A NNI flavor SHOULD reuse the
existing VPN site modeling.
Figure 24 illustrates an example where a customer wants its CSP A to
attach its virtual network N to an existing L2VPN (VPN1) that it has
from L2VPN SP B.

Figure 24: NNI Defined with the Option A Flavor: Example 2
To create the VPN connectivity, the CSP or the customer may use the
L2SM that SP B exposes. We could consider that, as the NNI is
shared, the physical connection (bearer) between CSP A and SP B
already exists. CSP A may request through a service model the
creation of a new site with a single site-network-access
(single-homing is used in Figure 24). As a placement constraint, CSP
A may use the existing bearer reference it has from SP A to force the
placement of the VPN NNI on the existing link. The XML below
illustrates a possible configuration request to SP B:

------------------- -------------------
Figure 25: NNI Defined with the Option B Flavor: Example 1
In option B, the two ASes are connected to each other with physical
links on ASBRs. For resiliency purposes, there may be multiple
physical connections between the ASes. The VPN "connection" between
ASes is done by exchanging VPN routes through MP-BGP [RFC4761].
There are multiple flavors of implementations of such an NNI. For
example:
1. The NNI is internal to the provider and is situated between a
backbone and a data center. There is enough trust between the
domains to not filter the VPN routes. So, all the VPN routes are
exchanged. RT filtering may be implemented to save some
unnecessary route states.
2. The NNI is used between providers that agreed to exchange VPN
routes for specific RTs only. Each provider is authorized to use
the RT values from the other provider.
3. The NNI is used between providers that agreed to exchange VPN
routes for specific RTs only. Each provider has its own RT
scheme. So, a customer spanning the two networks will have
different RTs in each network for a particular VPN.
Case 1 does not require any service modeling, as the protocol enables
the dynamic exchange of necessary VPN routes.
Case 2 requires that an RT-filtering policy on ASBRs be maintained.
From a service-modeling point of view, it is necessary to agree on
the list of RTs to authorize.
In Case 3, both ASes need to agree on the VPN RT to exchange, as well
as how to map a VPN RT from AS A to the corresponding RT in AS B (and
vice versa).
Those modelings are currently out of scope for this document.

Figure 26: NNI Defined with the Option B Flavor: Example 2
Figure 26 shows an NNI connection between CSP A and SP network B.
The SPs do not trust each other and use different RT allocation
policies. So, in terms of implementation, the customer VPN has a
different RT in each network (RT A in CSP A and RT B in SP
network B). In order to connect the customer's virtual network in
CSP A to the customer's L2VPN (VPN1) in SP network B, CSP A should
request that SP network B open the customer VPN on the NNI (accept
the appropriate RT). Who does the RT translation depends on the
agreement between the two SPs: SP B may permit CSP A to request VPN
(RT) translation.

------------------- -------------------
Figure 27: NNI Defined with the Option C Flavor
From a VPN service's perspective, the option C NNI is very similar to
option B, as an MP-BGP session is used to exchange VPN routes between
the ASes. The difference is that the forwarding plane and the
control plane are on different nodes, so the MP-BGP session is
multihop between routing gateway (RGW) nodes. From a VPN service's
point of view, modeling options B and C will be configured
identically.
5.17. Applicability of L2SM in Inter-provider and Inter-domain
Orchestration
In the case where the ASes belong to different providers, one might
imagine that providers would like to have fewer signaling sessions
crossing the AS boundary and that the entities that terminate the
sessions could be restricted to a smaller set of devices. Two
approaches can be taken:
a. Construct inter-provider control connections to run only between
the two border routers.
b. Allow end-to-end, multi-segment connectivity to be constructed
out of several connectivity segments, without maintaining an
end-to-end control connection.
Inter-provider control connections as described in approach (a) can
be realized using the techniques provided in Section 5.16 (e.g.,
defining NNIs). Multi-segment connectivity as described in
approach (b) can produce an inter-AS solution that more closely
resembles scheme (b) in Section 10 of [RFC4364]. It may be realized
using "stitching" of per-site connectivity and service segments at
different domains, e.g., end-to-end connectivity between Site 1 and
Site 3 spans multiple domains (e.g., metropolitan area networks) and
can be constructed by stitching network access connectivity within
Site 1 with SEG1, SEG3, and SEG4, and network access connectivity
within Site 3 (as shown in Figure 28). The assumption is that the
service orchestration component in Figure 3 should have visibility
into the complete abstract topology and resource availability. This
may rely on network planning.

Figure 28: Example: Inter-provider and Inter-domain Orchestration
Note that SEG1, SEG2, SEG3, SEG4, SEG5, and SEG6 can also be regarded
as network access connectivity within a site and can be created as a
normal site using the L2SM.
In Figure 28, we use BGP redistribution of L2VPN Network Layer
Reachability Information (NLRI) instances from AS to neighboring AS.
First, the PE routers use BGP to redistribute L2VPN NLRIs to either
an ASBR or a route reflector of which an ASBR is a client. The ASBR
then uses BGP to redistribute those L2VPN NLRIs to an ASBR in another
AS, which in turn distributes them to the PE routers in that AS, or
perhaps to another ASBR that in turn distributes them, and so on.
In this case, a PE can learn the address of an ASBR through which it
could reach another PE to which it wishes to establish connectivity.
That is, a local PE will receive a BGP advertisement containing an
L2VPN NLRI corresponding to an L2VPN instance in which the local PE
has some attached members. The BGP next hop for that L2VPN NLRI will
be an ASBR of the local AS. Then, rather than building a control
connection all the way to the remote PE, it builds one only to the
ASBR. A connectivity segment can now be established from the PE to
the ASBR. The ASBR in turn can establish connectivity to the ASBR of
the next AS and then stitch that connectivity to the connectivity
from the PE as described in [RFC6073]. Repeating the process at each
ASBR leads to a sequence of connectivity segments that, when stitched
together, connect the two PEs.
Note that in the approach just described, the local PE may never
learn the IP address of the remote PE. It learns the L2VPN NLRI
advertised by the remote PE, which need not contain the remote PE
address, and it learns the IP address of the ASBR that is the BGP
next hop for that NLRI.
When this approach is used for VPLS or for full-mesh VPWS, it leads
to a full mesh of connectivity among the PEs, but it does not require
a full mesh of control connections (LDP or L2TPv3 sessions).
Instead, the control connections within a single AS run among all the
PEs of that AS and the ASBRs of the AS. A single control connection
between the ASBRs of adjacent ASes can be used to support as many
AS-to-AS connectivity segments as may be needed.
6. Interaction with Other YANG Modules
As explained in Section 4, this service model is not intended to
configure network elements; rather, it is instantiated in a
management system.
The management system might follow modular design and comprise two
different components:
a. The component instantiating the service model (let's call it the
service component).
b. The component responsible for network element configuration
(let's call it the configuration component).
In some cases, when a split is needed between the behavior and
functions that a customer requests and the technology that the
network operator has available to deliver the service [RFC8309], a
new component can be separated out of the service component (let's
call it the control component). This component is responsible for
network-centric operation and is aware of many features such as
topology, technology, and operator policy. As an optional component,
it can use the service model as input and is not required at all if
the control component delegates its control operations to the
configuration component.
In Section 7, we provide an example of translation of service
provisioning requests to router configuration lines as an
illustration. In the YANG-based ecosystem, it is expected that
NETCONF and YANG will be used between the configuration component and
network elements to configure the requested service on those
elements.
In this framework, it is expected that YANG data models will be used
to configure service components on network elements. There will be a
strong relationship between the abstracted view provided by this
service model and the detailed configuration view that will be
provided by specific configuration models for network elements such
as those defined in [MPLS-L2VPN-YANG] and [EVPN-YANG]. Service
components that would need configuration of network elements in
support of the service model defined in this document include:
o Network instance definitions that include defined VPN policies.
o Physical interfaces.
o Ethernet-layer parameters (e.g., VLAN IDs).
o QoS: classification, profiles, etc.
o Support for Ethernet Service OAM.
7. Service Model Usage Example
As explained in Section 4, this service model is intended to be
instantiated at a management layer and is not intended to be used
directly on network elements. The management system serves as a
central point of configuration of the overall service.
This section provides an example of how a management system can use
this model to configure an L2VPN service on network elements.
This example provides a VPN service for three sites using
point-to-point VPWS and a Hub-and-Spoke VPN service topology as shown
in Figure 29. Load balancing is not considered in this case.

When receiving the request for provisioning Spoke Site 1, the
management system MUST allocate network resources for this site. It
MUST first determine the target network elements to provision the
access and, in particular, the PE router (or possibly an aggregation
switch). As described in Sections 5.3.1 and 5.6, the management
system SHOULD use the location information and MUST use the
access-diversity constraint to find the appropriate PE. In this
case, we consider that Spoke Site 1 requires PE diversity with Hubs
and that the management system will allocate PEs based on least
distance. Based on the location information, the management system
finds the available PEs in the area closest to the customer and picks
one that fits the access-diversity constraint.
When the PE is chosen, the management system needs to allocate
interface resources on the node. One interface is selected from the
PE's available pool of resources. The management system can start
provisioning the PE node using any means it wishes (e.g., NETCONF,
CLI). The management system will check to see if a VSI that fits its
needs is already present. If not, it will provision the VSI: the RD
will come from the internal allocation policy model, and the RTs will
come from the vpn-policy configuration of the site (i.e., the
management system will allocate some RTs for the VPN). As the site
is a Spoke site (site-role), the management system knows which RTs
must be imported and exported. As the site is provider managed, some
management RTs may also be added (100:5000). Standard provider VPN
policies MAY also be added in the configuration.
Example of a generated PE configuration:
l2vpn vsi context one
vpn id 12456487
autodiscovery bgp signaling bgp
ve id 1001 <---- identify the PE routers within the VPLS domain
ve range 50 <---- VPLS Edge (VE) size
route-distinguisher 100:3123234324
route-target import 100:1
route-target import 100:5000 <---- Standard SP configuration
route-target export 100:2 for provider-managed CE
!
When the VSI has been provisioned, the management system can start
configuring the access on the PE using the allocated interface
information. The tag or VLAN (e.g., service instance tag) is chosen
by the management system. One tag will be picked from an allocated
subnet for the PE, and another will be used for the CE configuration.
LACP protocols will also be configured between the PE and the CE; in
the case of the provider-managed model, the choice is left to the SP.
This choice is independent of the LACP protocol chosen by the
customer.
Example of a generated PE configuration:
!
bridge-domain 1
member Ethernet0/0 service-instance 100
member vsi one
!
l2 router-id 198.51.100.1
!
l2 router-id 2001:db8::10:1/64

neighbor 2001:db8::0a10:4 send-community extended
exit-address-family
!
interface vlan 100 <---- Associating the AC with
no ip address the MAC-VRF at the PE
xconnect vsi PE1-VPLS-A
!
vlan 100
state active
As the CE router is not reachable at this stage, the management
system can produce a complete CE configuration that can be manually
uploaded to the node (e.g., before sending the CE to the customer
premises at the appropriate postal address, as described in
Section 5.3.1). The CE configuration will be built in the same way
as the PE configuration is built. Based on (1) the CE type
(vendor/model) allocated to the customer and (2) bearer information,
the management system knows which interface must be configured on the
CE. PE-CE link configuration is expected to be handled automatically
using the SP's OSS, as both resources are managed internally.
CE-to-LAN interface parameters, such as dot1Q tags, are derived from
the Ethernet connection, taking into account how the management
system distributes dot1Q tags between the PE and the CE within the
subnet. This will allow a plug'n'play configuration to be produced
for the CE.
Example of a generated CE configuration:
interface Ethernet0/1
switchport trunk allowed vlan none
switchport mode trunk
service instance 100 ethernet
encapsulation default
l2protocol forward cdp
xconnect 203.0.113.1 100 encapsulation mpls

9. 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.
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 /l2vpn-svc/vpn-services/vpn-service
The entries in the list above include all of the VPN service
configurations to which the customer subscribes and will use to
indirectly create or modify the PE and CE device configurations.
Unexpected changes to these entries could lead to service
disruptions and/or network misbehavior.
o /l2vpn-svc/sites/site
The entries in the list above include the customer site
configurations. As noted in the previous paragraph, unexpected
changes to these entries could lead to service disruptions and/or
network misbehavior.
Some of the readable data nodes in this 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:
o /l2vpn-svc/vpn-services/vpn-service
o /l2vpn-svc/sites/site
The entries in the lists above include customer-proprietary or
confidential information, e.g., customer name, site location,
services to which the customer subscribes.
When an SP collaborates with multiple customers, it has to ensure
that a given customer can only view and modify its (the customer's)
own service information.
The data model defines some security parameters that can be extended
via augmentation as part of the customer service request; those
parameters are described in Sections 5.12 and 5.13.
10. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned a new URI from the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688].
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2vpn-svc
Registrant Contact: The IESG
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace
IANA has assigned a new YANG module name in the "YANG Module Names"
registry [RFC6020].
name: ietf-l2vpn-svc
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2vpn-svc
prefix: l2vpn-svc
