This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) [RFC5880]. BFD is a network protocol that is used for liveness detection of arbitrary paths between systems. Some examples of different types of paths over which we have BFD are as follows:¶
BFD typically does not operate on its own. Various control protocols, also known as BFD clients, use the services provided by BFD for their own operation, as described in "Generic Application of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)" [RFC5882]. The obvious candidates that use BFD are those that do not have "hellos" to detect failures, e.g., static routes, and routing protocols whose "hellos" do not support sub-second failure detection, e.g., OSPF and IS-IS.¶
The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. This means that the data models do not have separate top-level or sibling containers for configuration data and operational state data.¶
This document uses the graphical representation of data models, as defined in [RFC8340].¶
Since BFD is used for liveness detection of various forwarding paths, there is no uniform key to identify a BFD session. Therefore, the BFD data model is split into multiple YANG modules where each module corresponds to one type of forwarding path. For example, BFD for IP single-hop is in one YANG module, and BFD for MPLS is in another YANG module. The main difference between these modules is how a BFD session is uniquely identified, i.e., the key for the list containing the BFD sessions for that forwarding path. To avoid duplication of BFD definitions, we have common types and groupings that are used by all the modules.¶
A new control plane protocol, "bfdv1", is defined, and a "bfd" container is created under "control-plane-protocol" as specified in "A YANG Data Model for Routing Management (NMDA Version)" [RFC8349]. This new "bfd" container is augmented by the following YANG modules for their respective specific information:¶
BFD can operate in the following contexts:¶
When used at the network device level, the BFD YANG data model is used "as is". When the BFD YANG data model is used in an LNE or network instance, the BFD YANG data model augments the mounted routing model for the LNE or network instance.¶
The configuration model consists mainly of the parameters specified in BFD [RFC5880] -- for example, desired minimum transmit interval, required minimum receive interval, and detection multiplier.¶
BFD clients are applications that use BFD for fast detection of failures. Some implementations have BFD session configuration under the BFD clients -- for example, BFD session configuration under routing applications such as OSPF, IS-IS, or BGP. Other implementations have BFD session configuration centralized under BFD, i.e., outside the multiple BFD clients.¶
The main BFD parameters of interest to a BFD client are those related to the multiplier and interval(s), since those parameters impact the convergence time of the BFD clients when a failure occurs. Other parameters, such as BFD authentication, are not specific to the requirements of the BFD client. Configuration of BFD for all clients should be centralized. However, this is a problem for BFD clients that auto-discover their peers. For example, IGPs do not have the peer address configured; instead, the IGP is enabled on an interface, and the IGP peers are auto-discovered. So, for an operator to configure BFD to an IGP peer, the operator would first have to determine the peer addresses. And when a new peer is discovered, BFD configuration would need to be added. To avoid this issue, we define the grouping "client-cfg-parms" in Section 2.11 for BFD clients to configure BFD: this allows BFD clients, such as the IGPs, to have configuration (multiplier and intervals) for the BFD sessions they need. For example, when a new IGP peer is discovered, the IGP would create a BFD session to the newly discovered peer; similarly, when an IGP peer goes away, the IGP would remove the BFD session to that peer. The mechanism for how the BFD sessions are created and removed by the BFD clients is outside the scope of this document, but this would typically be done by using an API implemented by the BFD module on the system. In the case of BFD clients that create BFD sessions via their own configuration, authentication parameters (if required) are still specified in BFD.¶
The basic BFD configuration parameters are as follows:¶
Although BFD [RFC5880] allows for different values for transmit and receive intervals, some implementations allow users to specify just one interval that is used for both transmit and receive intervals, or separate values for transmit and receive intervals. The BFD YANG data model supports this: there is a choice between "min-interval", used for both transmit and receive intervals, and "desired-min-tx-interval" and "required-min-rx-interval". This is supported via the "base-cfg-parms" grouping (Section 2.11), which is used by the YANG modules for the various forwarding paths.¶
For BFD authentication, we have the following:¶
For single-hop IP, there is an augment of the "bfd" data node, as described in Section 2. The "ip-sh" node contains a list of IP single-hop sessions where each session is uniquely identified by the interface and destination address pair. We use the configuration parameters defined in Section 2.1.1. The "ip-sh" node also contains a list of interfaces and is used to specify authentication parameters for BFD sessions that are created by BFD clients. See Section 2.1.¶
[RFC5880] and [RFC5881] do not specify whether the Echo function operates continuously or on demand. Therefore, the mechanism used to start and stop the Echo function is implementation specific and should be done by augmentation:¶
For multihop IP, there is an augment of the "bfd" data node, as described in Section 2.¶
Because of multiple paths, there could be multiple multihop IP sessions between a source and a destination address. We identify this set of sessions as a "session-group". The key for each "session-group" consists of the following:¶
We use the configuration parameters defined in Section 2.1.1.¶
This document also provides the following parameters:¶
Here, we address MPLS LSPs whose Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) [RFC3031] is an IP address. The "bfd" node (Section 2) is augmented with "mpls", which contains a list of sessions uniquely identified by an IP prefix. Because of multiple paths, there could be multiple MPLS sessions to an MPLS FEC. We identify this set of sessions as a "session-group".¶
Since these LSPs are unidirectional, there is no LSP configuration on the egress node.¶
The BFD parameters for the egress node are added under "mpls".¶
Per "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on Link Aggregation Group (LAG) Interfaces" [RFC7130], configuring BFD on a LAG consists of having micro-BFD sessions on each LAG member link. Since the BFD parameters are an attribute of the LAG, they should be under the LAG. However, there is no LAG YANG data model that we can augment. So, a "lag" data node is added to the "bfd" node; see Section 2. The configuration is per LAG: we have a list of LAGs. The destination IP address of the micro-BFD sessions is configured per LAG and per address family (IPv4 and IPv6).¶
The operational state model contains both the overall statistics for the BFD sessions running on the device and the per-session operational information.¶
The overall statistics for the BFD sessions consist of the number of BFD sessions, the number of BFD sessions that are up, etc. This information is available globally (i.e., for all BFD sessions) under the "bfd" node (Section 2) and also per type of forwarding path.¶
For each BFD session, three main categories of operational state data are shown.¶
For some path types, there may be more than one session on the virtual path to the destination. For example, with IP multihop and MPLS LSPs, there could be multiple BFD sessions from the source to the same destination to test the various paths (ECMP) to the destination. This is represented by having multiple "sessions" under each "session-group".¶
This YANG data model defines notifications to inform end users of important events detected during the protocol operation. The local discriminator identifies the corresponding BFD session on the local system, and the remote discriminator identifies the BFD session on the remote system. Notifications also give more important details about BFD sessions, e.g., new state, time in previous state, network instance, and the reason that the BFD session state changed. The notifications are defined for each type of forwarding path but use groupings for common information.¶
None.¶
At the "bfd" node under "control-plane-protocol", there is no configuration data -- only operational state data. The operational state data consists of overall BFD session statistics, i.e., for BFD on all types of forwarding paths.¶

The YANG modules specified in this document define 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 Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [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 these YANG modules 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 from a write access perspective:¶
This list specifies the IP single-hop BFD sessions.¶
Data nodes "local-multiplier", "desired-min-tx-interval", "required-min-rx-interval", and "min-interval" all impact the BFD IP single-hop session. The "source-addr" and "dest-addr" data nodes can be used to send BFD packets to unwitting recipients. [RFC5880] describes how BFD mitigates such threats. Authentication data nodes "key-chain" and "meticulous" impact the security of the BFD IP single-hop session.¶
This list specifies the IP multihop BFD session groups.¶
Data nodes "local-multiplier", "desired-min-tx-interval", "required-min-rx-interval", and "min-interval" all impact the BFD IP multihop session. The "source-addr" and "dest-addr" data nodes can be used to send BFD packets to unwitting recipients. [RFC5880] describes how BFD mitigates such threats. Authentication data nodes "key-chain" and "meticulous" impact the security of the BFD IP multihop session.¶
This list specifies the BFD sessions over a LAG.¶
Data nodes "local-multiplier", "desired-min-tx-interval", "required-min-rx-interval", and "min-interval" all impact the BFD-over-LAG session. The "ipv4-dest-addr" and "ipv6-dest-addr" data nodes can be used to send BFD packets to unwitting recipients. [RFC5880] describes how BFD mitigates such threats. Authentication data nodes "key-chain" and "meticulous" impact the security of the BFD-over-LAG session.¶
This list specifies the session groups for BFD over MPLS.¶
Data nodes "local-multiplier", "desired-min-tx-interval", "required-min-rx-interval", and "min-interval" all impact the BFD-over-MPLS-LSPs session. Authentication data nodes "key-chain" and "meticulous" impact the security of the BFD-over-MPLS-LSPs session.¶
The YANG modules have writable data nodes that can be used for the creation of BFD sessions and the modification of BFD session parameters. The system should "police" the creation of BFD sessions to prevent new sessions from causing existing BFD sessions to fail. In the case of BFD session modification, the BFD protocol has mechanisms in place that allow for in-service modification.¶
When BFD clients are used to modify BFD configuration (as described in Section 2.1), the BFD clients need to be included in an analysis of the security properties of the system that uses BFD (e.g., when considering the authentication and authorization of control actions). In many cases, BFD is not the most vulnerable portion of such a composite system, since BFD is limited to generating well-defined traffic at a fixed rate on a given path; in the case of an IGP acting as a BFD client, attacking the IGP could cause more broad-scale disruption than would (de)configuring a BFD session.¶
Some of the readable data nodes in these YANG modules 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 from a read access perspective:¶

As mentioned in Section 2.1.2, the mechanism to start and stop the Echo function, as defined in [RFC5880] and discussed in [RFC5881], is implementation specific. In this appendix, we provide an example of how the Echo function can be implemented via configuration.¶

This document updates the 'ietf-bfd-types' module to define a new feature called 'client-base-cfg-parms and an 'if-feature' statement that conditionally includes definitions of parameters, such as 'multiplier' or 'desired-min-tx-interval'. The feature statement allows YANG implementations of protocols, such as OSPF, IS-IS, PIM, and BGP, to support both a model where such parameters are not needed, such as when multiple BFD sessions are supported over a given interface, as well as when they need to be defined per session. As a result, the BFD MPLS module has to use the base-cfg-parms instead of client-cfg-parms to be able to include all the parameters unconditionally.¶
The iana-bfd-types module, created in RFC 9127, was delegated to IANA for maintenance. No changes are requested from IANA as part of this update.¶
