1. Introduction
This document defines a data model for Large-Scale Measurement
Platforms (LMAPs) [RFC7594]. The data model is defined using the
YANG [RFC7950] data modeling language. It is based on the LMAP
Information Model [RFC8193].
1.1. Terminology
This document uses the LMAP terminology defined in [RFC7594].
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
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
follows:
o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
Schoenwaelder & Bajpai Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 8194 YANG Data Model for LMAP August 2017
o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write), "ro" means state data (read-only), and "w" means RPC
input data (write-only).
o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
2. Data Model Overview
The LMAP framework has three basic elements: Measurement Agents
(MAs), Controllers, and Collectors. Measurement Agents initiate the
actual measurements, which are called Measurement Tasks in the LMAP
terminology. The Controller instructs one or more MAs and
communicates the set of Measurement Tasks an MA should perform and
when. The Collector accepts Reports from the MAs with the Results
from their Measurement Tasks.
The YANG data model for LMAP has been split into three modules:
1. The module ietf-lmap-common.yang provides common definitions such
as LMAP-specific data types.
2. The module ietf-lmap-control.yang defines the data structures
exchanged between a Controller and Measurement Agents.
3. The module ietf-lmap-report.yang defines the data structures
exchanged between Measurement Agents and Collectors.
As shown in Figure 1, a Controller, implementing
ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-control.yang as a client, will
instruct Measurement Agents, which implement ietf-lmap-common.yang
and ietf-lmap-control.yang as servers. A Measurement Agent,
implementing ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-report.yang, will
send results to a Collector, which implements ietf-lmap-common.yang
and ietf-lmap-report.yang as a server.

3. Relationship to the Information Model
The LMAP Information Model [RFC8193] is divided into six aspects.
They are mapped into the YANG data model as explained below:
o Preconfiguration Information: This is not modeled explicitly since
bootstrapping information is outside the scope of this data model.
Implementations may use some of the Configuration Information also
for bootstrapping purposes.
o Configuration Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/agent
subtree, the /lmap/schedules subtree, and the /lmap/tasks subtree
described below. Some items have been left out because they are
expected to be dealt with by the underlying protocol.
o Instruction Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/suppressions
subtree, the /lmap/schedules subtree, and the /lmap/tasks subtree
described below.
o Logging Information: Some of the Logging Information, in
particular 'success/failure/warning messages in response to
information updates from the Controller', will be handled by the
protocol used to manipulate the LMAP-specific configuration. The
LMAP data model defined in this document assumes that runtime
Logging Information will be communicated using protocols that do
not require a formal data model, e.g., the syslog protocol defined
in [RFC5424].
o Capability and Status Information: Some of the Capability and
Status Information is modeled in the /lmap/capability subtree.
The list of supported Tasks is modeled in the /lmap/capabilities/
task list. Status Information about Schedules and Actions is
included in the /lmap/schedules subtree. Information about
network interfaces can be obtained from the ietf-interfaces YANG
data model [RFC7223]. Information about the hardware and the
firmware can be obtained from the ietf-system YANG data model
[RFC7317]. A device identifier can be obtained from the ietf-
hardware YANG data model [YANG-HARDWARE].
o Reporting Information: This is modeled by the report data model to
be implemented by the Collector. Measurement Agents send results
to the Collector by invoking an RPC on the Collector.
These six Information Model aspects use a collection of common
information objects. These common information objects are
represented in the YANG data model as follows:
o Schedules: Schedules are modeled in the /lmap/schedules subtree.
Schoenwaelder & Bajpai Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 8194 YANG Data Model for LMAP August 2017
o Channels: Channels are not modeled since the NETCONF server
configuration data model [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] already provides
a mechanism to configure NETCONF server Channels.
o Task Configurations: Configured Tasks are modeled in the /lmap/
tasks subtree.
o Event Information: Event definitions are modeled in the /lmap/
events subtree.

5. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this document 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 Transport Layer Security
(TLS) [RFC5246].
The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] 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:
/lmap/agent This subtree configures general properties of
the Measurement Agent such as its identity,
measurement point, or Controller timeout. This
subtree should only have write access for the
system responsible for configuring the
Measurement Agent.
/lmap/tasks This subtree configures the Tasks that can be
invoked by a Controller. This subtree should
only have write access for the system
responsible for configuring the Measurement
Agent. Care must be taken to not expose Tasks
to a Controller that can cause damage to the
system or the network.
Schoenwaelder & Bajpai Standards Track [Page 45]
RFC 8194 YANG Data Model for LMAP August 2017
/lmap/schedules This subtree is used by a Controller to define
the Schedules and Actions that are executed
when certain events occur. Unauthorized access
can cause unwanted load on the device or
network, or it might direct measurement traffic
to targets that become victims of an attack.
/lmap/suppressions This subtree is used by a Controller to define
Suppressions that can temporarily disable the
execution of Schedules or Actions.
Unauthorized access can either disable
measurements that should normally take place or
cause measurements to take place during times
when normally no measurements should take
place.
/lmap/events This subtree is used by a Controller to define
events that trigger the execution of Schedules
and Actions. Unauthorized access can either
disable measurements that should normally take
place or cause measurements to take place
during times when normally no measurements
should take place or at a frequency that is
higher than normally expected.
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:
/lmap/agent This subtree provides information about the
Measurement Agent. This information may be
used to select specific targets for attacks.
/lmap/capabilities This subtree provides information about the
capabilities of the Measurement Agent,
including its software version number and the
Tasks that it supports. This information may
be used to execute targeted attacks against
specific implementations.
/lmap/schedules This subtree provides information about the
Schedules and their associated Actions executed
on the Measurement Agent. This information may
be used to check whether attacks against the
implementation are effective.
Schoenwaelder & Bajpai Standards Track [Page 46]
RFC 8194 YANG Data Model for LMAP August 2017
/lmap/suppressions This subtree provides information about the
Suppressions that can be active on the
Measurement Agent. This information may be
used to predict time periods where measurements
take place (or do not take place).
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
/report The report operation is used to send locally collected
measurement results to a remote Collector. Unauthorized
access may leak measurement results, including those from
passive measurements.
The data model uses a number of identifiers that are set by the
Controller. Implementors may find these identifiers useful for the
identification of resources, e.g., to identify objects in a file
system providing temporary storage. Since the identifiers used by
the YANG data model may allow characters that may be given special
interpretation in a specific context, implementations must ensure
that identifiers are properly mapped into safe identifiers.
The data model allows specifying options in the form of name/value
pairs that are passed to programs. Implementors ought to take care
that option names and values are passed literally to programs. In
particular, shell expansions that may alter option names and values
must not be performed.

Appendix A. Example Parameter Extension Module
Sometimes Tasks may require complicated parameters that cannot easily
be fit into options, i.e., a list of name/value pairs. In such a
situation, it is possible to augment the ietf-lmap-control.yang and
ietf-lmap-report.yang data models with definitions for more complex
parameters. The following example module demonstrates this idea
using the parameters of UDP latency metrics as an example (although
UDP latency metric parameters do not really need such an extension
module).

namespace "urn:example:ietf-ippm-udp-latency";
prefix "ippm-udp-latency";
