Introduction This document specifies the binding of a stream of events that form part of a dynamic subscription to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241]. Dynamic subscriptions are defined in [RFC8639]. In addition, as [RFC8641] is itself built upon [RFC8639], this document enables a NETCONF client to request via a dynamic subscription, and receive, updates from a YANG datastore located on a NETCONF server. This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the terminology and concepts defined in [RFC8639]. 2. Terminology 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. The following terms are defined in [RFC8639]: dynamic subscription, event stream, notification message, publisher, receiver, subscriber, and subscription. This document does not define any additional terms. Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 3. Compatibility with <create-subscription> as Defined in RFC 5277 A publisher is allowed to concurrently support dynamic subscription RPCs as defined in [RFC8639] at the same time as the <create-subscription> RPC defined in [RFC5277]. However, a single NETCONF transport session MUST NOT support both this specification and a subscription established by the <create-subscription> RPC defined in [RFC5277]. To protect against any attempts to use a single NETCONF transport session in this way: o A solution MUST reply with the <rpc-error> element [RFC6241] containing the "error-tag" value of "operation-not-supported" if a <create-subscription> RPC is received on a NETCONF session where an established subscription per [RFC8639] exists. o A solution MUST reply with the <rpc-error> element [RFC6241] containing the "error-tag" value of "operation-not-supported" if an "establish-subscription" request has been received on a NETCONF session where the <create-subscription> RPC [RFC5277] has successfully created a subscription. If a publisher supports this specification but not subscriptions via [RFC5277], the publisher MUST NOT advertise "urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:notification:1.0". 4. Mandatory XML, Event Stream, and Datastore Support The "encode-xml" feature of [RFC8639] MUST be supported. This indicates that XML is a valid encoding for RPCs, state change notifications, and subscribed content. A NETCONF publisher supporting event stream subscription via [RFC8639] MUST support the "NETCONF" event stream identified in that document. 5. NETCONF Connectivity and Dynamic Subscriptions Management of dynamic subscriptions occurs via RPCs as defined in [RFC8641] and [RFC8639]. For a dynamic subscription, if the NETCONF session involved with the "establish-subscription" terminates, the subscription MUST be terminated. For a dynamic subscription, any "modify-subscription", "delete-subscription", or "resync-subscription" RPCs MUST be sent using the same NETCONF session upon which the referenced subscription was established. Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 6. Notification Messages Notification messages transported over NETCONF MUST be encoded in a <notification> message as defined in [RFC5277], Section 4. And per the <eventTime> object definition provided in [RFC5277], <eventTime> is populated with the event occurrence time. For dynamic subscriptions, all notification messages MUST use the NETCONF transport session used by the "establish-subscription" RPC. 7. Dynamic Subscriptions and RPC Error Responses When an RPC error occurs as defined in [RFC8639], Section 2.4.6 and [RFC8641], Appendix A, the NETCONF RPC reply MUST include an <rpc-error> element per [RFC6241] with the error information populated as follows: o An "error-type" node of "application". o An "error-tag" node, where the value is a string that corresponds to an identity associated with the error. For the mechanisms specified in this document, this "error-tag" will correspond to the error identities in either (1) [RFC8639], Section 2.4.6, for general subscription errors: error identity uses error-tag ---------------------- ----------------------- dscp-unavailable invalid-value encoding-unsupported invalid-value filter-unsupported invalid-value insufficient-resources resource-denied no-such-subscription invalid-value replay-unsupported operation-not-supported or (2) [RFC8641], Appendix A.1, for subscription errors specific to YANG datastores: error identity uses error-tag --------------------------- ----------------------- cant-exclude operation-not-supported datastore-not-subscribable invalid-value no-such-subscription-resync invalid-value on-change-unsupported operation-not-supported on-change-sync-unsupported operation-not-supported period-unsupported invalid-value update-too-big too-big sync-too-big too-big unchanging-selection operation-failed Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 o An "error-severity" of "error" (this MAY be included). o An "error-app-tag" node, where the value is a string that corresponds to an identity associated with the error, as defined in [RFC8639], Section 2.4.6 for general subscriptions and [RFC8641], Appendix A.1 for datastore subscriptions. The specific identity to use depends on the RPC for which the error occurred. Each error identity will be inserted as the "error-app-tag" following the form <modulename>:<identityname>. An example of such a valid encoding would be "ietf-subscribed-notifications:no-such-subscription". Viable errors for different RPCs are as follows: RPC has base identity ---------------------- ---------------------------- establish-subscription establish-subscription-error modify-subscription modify-subscription-error delete-subscription delete-subscription-error kill-subscription delete-subscription-error resync-subscription resync-subscription-error o In the case of error responses to an "establish-subscription" or "modify-subscription" request, there is the option of including an "error-info" node. This node may contain XML-encoded data with hints for parameter settings that might lead to successful RPC requests in the future. The yang-data structures from [RFC8639] and [RFC8641] that may be returned are as follows: establish-subscription returns hints in yang-data structure ---------------------- ------------------------------------------- target: event stream establish-subscription-stream-error-info target: datastore establish-subscription-datastore-error-info modify-subscription returns hints in yang-data structure ---------------------- ---------------------------------------- target: event stream modify-subscription-stream-error-info target: datastore modify-subscription-datastore-error-info The yang-data included in "error-info" SHOULD NOT include the optional leaf "reason", as such a leaf would be redundant with information that is already placed in the "error-app-tag". In the case of an RPC error resulting from a "delete-subscription", "kill-subscription", or "resync-subscription" request, no "error-info" needs to be included, as the "subscription-id" is the only RPC input parameter and no hints regarding this RPC input parameter need to be provided. Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 8. Security Considerations This document does not introduce additional security considerations for dynamic subscriptions beyond those discussed in [RFC8639]. But there is one consideration worthy of more refinement based on the connection-oriented nature of NETCONF. Specifically, if a buggy or compromised NETCONF subscriber sends a number of "establish- subscription" requests, then these subscriptions accumulate and may use up system resources. In such a situation, subscriptions MAY be terminated by terminating the underlying NETCONF session. The publisher MAY also suspend or terminate a subset of the active subscriptions on that NETCONF session in order to reclaim resources and preserve normal operation for the other subscriptions. 9. IANA Considerations This document has no IANA actions. 10. References 10.1.

Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 Appendix A. Examples This appendix is non-normative. Additionally, the subscription "id" values of 22, 23, 39, and 99 used below are just examples. In production, the actual values of "id" might not be small integers. A.1. Event Stream Discovery As defined in [RFC8639], an event stream exposes a continuous set of events available for subscription. A NETCONF client can retrieve the list of available event streams from a NETCONF publisher using the <get> operation against the top-level "streams" container defined in [RFC8639], Section 3.1. The following XML example [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] illustrates the retrieval of the list of available event streams: <rpc message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <get> <filter type="subtree"> <streams xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"/> </filter> </get> </rpc> Figure 1: <get> Request for Retrieval of Event Streams After such a request, the NETCONF publisher returns a list of available event streams as well as additional information that might exist in the container. Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 A.2. Dynamic Subscriptions A.2.1. Establishing Dynamic Subscriptions Figure 2 shows two successful "establish-subscription" RPC requests as per [RFC8639]. The first request is given a subscription "id" of 22, and the second is given an "id" of 23. +------------+ +-----------+ | Subscriber | | Publisher | +------------+ +-----------+ | | | Capability Exchange | |<---------------------------->| | | | | | establish-subscription | |----------------------------->| (a) | RPC Reply: OK, id = 22 | |<-----------------------------| (b) | | | notification message (for 22)| |<-----------------------------| | | | | | establish-subscription | |----------------------------->| | notification message (for 22)| |<-----------------------------| | RPC Reply: OK, id = 23 | |<-----------------------------| | | | | | notification message (for 22)| |<-----------------------------| | notification message (for 23)| |<-----------------------------| | | Figure 2: Multiple Subscriptions over a NETCONF Session Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 To provide examples of the information being transported, example messages for interactions (a) and (b) in Figure 2 are detailed below (Figures 3 and 4): <rpc message-id="102" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <establish-subscription xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <stream-xpath-filter xmlns:ex="https://example.com/events"> /ex:foo/ </stream-xpath-filter> <stream>NETCONF</stream> <dscp>10</dscp> </establish-subscription> </rpc> Figure 3: "establish-subscription" Request (a) As the NETCONF publisher was able to fully satisfy the request (a), the publisher sends the subscription "id" of the accepted subscription in its reply message (b): <rpc-reply message-id="102" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <id xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> 22 </id> </rpc-reply> Figure 4: A Successful "establish-subscription" (b) Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 If the NETCONF publisher had not been able to fully satisfy the request or the subscriber has no authorization to establish the subscription, the publisher would have sent an RPC error response. For instance, if the "dscp" value of 10 asserted by the subscriber in Figure 3 proved unacceptable, the publisher may have returned: <rpc-reply message-id="102" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <rpc-error> <error-type>application</error-type> <error-tag>invalid-value</error-tag> <error-severity>error</error-severity> <error-app-tag> ietf-subscribed-notifications:dscp-unavailable </error-app-tag> </rpc-error> </rpc-reply> Figure 5: An Unsuccessful "establish-subscription" The subscriber can use this information in future attempts to establish a subscription. A.2.2. Modifying Dynamic Subscriptions An existing subscription may be modified. The following exchange shows a negotiation of such a modification via several exchanges between a subscriber and a publisher. This negotiation consists of a failed RPC modification request/response followed by a successful one. Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 +------------+ +-----------+ | Subscriber | | Publisher | +------------+ +-----------+ | | | notification message (for 23)| |<-----------------------------| | | | modify-subscription (id = 23)| |----------------------------->| (c) | RPC error (with hint) | |<-----------------------------| (d) | | | modify-subscription (id = 23)| |----------------------------->| | RPC Reply: OK | |<-----------------------------| | | | notification message (for 23)| |<-----------------------------| | | Figure 6: Interaction Model for Successful Subscription Modification If the subscription being modified in Figure 6 is a datastore subscription as per [RFC8641], the modification request made in (c) may look like that shown in Figure 7. As can be seen, the modifications being attempted are the application of a new XPath filter as well as the setting of a new periodic time interval. <rpc message-id="303" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <modify-subscription xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications" xmlns:yp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-push"> <id>23</id> <yp:datastore-xpath-filter xmlns:ex="https://example.com/datastore"> /ex:foo/ex:bar </yp:datastore-xpath-filter> <yp:periodic> <yp:period>500</yp:period> </yp:periodic> </modify-subscription> </rpc> Figure 7: Subscription Modification Request (c) Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 13] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 If the NETCONF publisher can satisfy both changes, the publisher sends a positive result for the RPC. If the NETCONF publisher cannot satisfy either of the proposed changes, the publisher sends an RPC error response (d). Figure 8 shows an example RPC error response for (d) that includes a hint. This hint is an alternative time period value that might have resulted in a successful modification: <rpc-reply message-id="303" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <rpc-error> <error-type>application</error-type> <error-tag>invalid-value</error-tag> <error-severity>error</error-severity> <error-app-tag> ietf-yang-push:period-unsupported </error-app-tag> <error-info> <modify-subscription-datastore-error-info xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-push"> <period-hint> 3000 </period-hint> </modify-subscription-datastore-error-info> </error-info> </rpc-error> </rpc-reply> Figure 8: "modify-subscription" Failure with Hint (d) A.2.3. Deleting Dynamic Subscriptions Figure 9 demonstrates the deletion of a subscription. This subscription may have been to either a stream or a datastore. <rpc message-id="103" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <delete-subscription xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <id>22</id> </delete-subscription> </rpc> Figure 9: "delete-subscription" Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 If the NETCONF publisher can satisfy the request, the publisher returns a reply indicating success. If the NETCONF publisher cannot satisfy the request, the publisher sends an <rpc-error> element indicating that the modification didn't work. Figure 10 shows a valid response for an existing valid subscription "id", but that subscription "id" was created on a different NETCONF transport session: <rpc-reply message-id="103" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <rpc-error> <error-type>application</error-type> <error-tag>invalid-value</error-tag> <error-severity>error</error-severity> <error-app-tag> ietf-subscribed-notifications:no-such-subscription </error-app-tag> </rpc-error> </rpc-reply> Figure 10: An Unsuccessful "delete-subscription" A.3. Subscription State Notifications A publisher will send subscription state notifications for dynamic subscriptions according to the definitions in [RFC8639]. A.3.1. "subscription-modified" As per Section 2.7.2 of [RFC8639], a "subscription-modified" might be sent over NETCONF if the definition of a configured filter changes. A subscription state notification encoded in XML would look like: <notification xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0"> <eventTime>2007-09-01T10:00:00Z</eventTime> <subscription-modified xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <id>39</id> <stream-xpath-filter xmlns:ex="https://example.com/events"> /ex:foo </stream-xpath-filter> <stream>NETCONF</stream> </subscription-modified> </notification> Figure 11: "subscription-modified" Subscription State Notification Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 15] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 A.3.2. "subscription-resumed" and "replay-complete" A "subscription-resumed" would look like: <notification xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0"> <eventTime>2007-09-01T10:00:00Z</eventTime> <subscription-resumed xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <id>39</id> </subscription-resumed> </notification> Figure 12: "subscription-resumed" Notification The "replay-complete" is virtually identical, with "subscription- resumed" simply being replaced by "replay-complete". A.3.3. "subscription-terminated" and "subscription-suspended" A "subscription-terminated" would look like: <notification xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0"> <eventTime>2007-09-01T10:00:00Z</eventTime> <subscription-terminated xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <id>39</id> <reason> suspension-timeout </reason> </subscription-terminated> </notification> Figure 13: "subscription-terminated" Subscription State Notification The "subscription-suspended" is virtually identical, with "subscription-terminated" simply being replaced by "subscription- suspended". Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 16] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 A.4. Filter Examples This appendix provides examples that illustrate both XPath and subtree methods of filtering event record contents. The examples are based on the YANG notification "vrrp-protocol-error-event" as defined per the ietf-vrrp YANG data model in [RFC8347]. Event records based on this specification that are generated by the publisher might appear as: <notification xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0"> <eventTime>2018-09-14T08:22:33.44Z</eventTime> <vrrp-protocol-error-event xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-vrrp"> <protocol-error-reason>checksum-error</protocol-error-reason> </vrrp-protocol-error-event> </notification> Figure 14: Example VRRP Notification per RFC 8347 Suppose that a subscriber wanted to establish a subscription that only passes instances of event records where there is a "checksum-error" as part of a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) protocol event. Also, assume that the publisher places such event records into the NETCONF stream. To get a continuous series of matching event records, the subscriber might request the application of an XPath filter against the NETCONF stream. An "establish- subscription" RPC to meet this objective might be: <rpc message-id="601" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <establish-subscription xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <stream>NETCONF</stream> <stream-xpath-filter xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-vrrp"> /vrrp-protocol-error-event[ vrrp:protocol-error-reason="vrrp:checksum-error"] </stream-xpath-filter> </establish-subscription> </rpc> Figure 15: Establishing a Subscription Error Reason via XPath For more examples of XPath filters, see [XPATH]. Voit, et al. Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 8640 NETCONF Notifications September 2019 Suppose that the "establish-subscription" in Figure 15 was accepted. And suppose that a subscriber decided later on that they wanted to broaden this subscription to cover all VRRP protocol events (i.e., not just those with a "checksum-error"). The subscriber might attempt to modify the subscription in a way that replaces the XPath filter with a subtree filter that sends all VRRP protocol events to a subscriber. Such a "modify-subscription" RPC might look like: <rpc message-id="602" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <modify-subscription xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-subscribed-notifications"> <id>99</id> <stream-subtree-filter> <vrrp-protocol-error-event xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-vrrp"/> </stream-subtree-filter> </modify-subscription> </rpc> Figure 16: Example "modify-subscription" RPC For more examples of subtree filters, see [RFC6241], Section 6.4.
