Introduction   The ForCES model [RFC5812] presents a formal way to define Forwarding   Element (FE) Logical Functional Blocks (LFBs) using the eXtensible   Markup Language (XML).  [RFC5812] was published several years before   this document, and experience with its use has demonstrated the need   to add new modeling concepts and change existing ones.   Specifically, this document updates the ForCES model [RFC5812] to   allow complex data types for metadata (Section 2.1), optional default   values for data types (Section 2.2), and optional access types for   structures (Section 2.3).  It also fixes an issue with LFB class   inheritance (Section 2.6).  Additionally, the document introduces two   new features: a new event condition named eventBecomesEqualTo   (Section 2.4) and LFB properties (Section 2.5).   These extensions are an update to the ForCES model [RFC5812] and do   not require any changes to the ForCES protocol [RFC5810] as they are   simply changes to the schema definition.  Additionally, backward   compatibility is ensured as XML libraries produced with the earlier   schema are still valid with the new one.  In order for XML libraries   produced by the new schema to be compatible with existing ForCES   implementations, the XML libraries MUST NOT include any of the   features described in this document.Haleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 2]

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 2014   Extensions to the schema and excerpts of the schema include the tags   <!-- ExtensionRFC 7408 --> and <!-- /ExtensionRFC 7408 -->, which   designate the beginning and ending of extension text specified by   this document in respect to the schema in the original ForCES model   [RFC5812].1.1.  Requirements Language   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].1.2.  Terminology   This document uses the terminology defined in the ForCES model   [RFC5812].  In particular, the reader is expected to be familiar with   the following terms:      FE Model      LFB (Logical Functional Block) Class (or type)      LFB Instance      LFB Model      Element      Attribute      LFB Metadata      ForCES Component      LFB Class Library2.  ForCES Model Extensions2.1.  Complex Data Types for MetadataSection 4.6 ("<metadataDefs> Element for Metadata Definitions") of   the ForCES model [RFC5812] limits the data type use in metadata to   only atomic types.  Figure 1 shows the XML schema excerpt where only   typeRef and atomic are allowed for a metadata definition.Haleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 3]

The Action Set metadata is an array of actions descriptors, which       traverses the processing pipeline along with the packet data.   2.  When a packet is received from a controller, it may be       accompanied by a list of actions, as metadata, to be performed on       it prior to being sent on the processing pipeline.  This list of       actions is also an array.   With the extension shown in Figure 2, complex data types are also   allowed, specifically structs and arrays as metadata.  The key   declarations are required to check for validity of content keys in   arrays and componentIDs in structs.Haleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 4]

Optional Default Values for Data Types   In the original schema, default values can only be defined for data   types defined inside LFB components and not inside structures or   arrays.  Therefore, default values for data types that are constantly   being reused, e.g., counters with default value of 0, have to be   constantly respecified.  Additionally, data types inside complex data   types cannot be defined with a default value, e.g., a counter inside   a struct that has a default value of 0.   This extension allows the option to add default values to data types.   These data types can then be referenced as simple components or   within complex data types such as structs.  A simple use case wouldHaleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 2014   be to have a struct component where one of the components is a   counter with a default value of zero.  To achieve that, the counter   must first be defined as a data type with the required default value   and then referenced in the struct.  Default values MUST adhere the   following formal restrictions:   1.  Default values MUST be ignored if the data type is not an atomic       or a base data type.   2.  When a data type X with default value A is referenced from a data       type Y with a default value B, the default value of the data type       that references overrides the referenced default value, e.g., in       this case, Y's default value will be B.   3.  Default values of LFB components override any default value       specified from the dataTypeDef definition.   4.  Default values of data types referenced in capabilities or       metadata MUST be ignored.   This extension simply adds to the definition of dataTypeDefsType in   the XML schema shown in Figure 3 to allow default values for   dataTypeDefsType.  The new definition is shown in Figure 4.     <xsd:complexType name="dataTypeDefsType">       <xsd:sequence>         <xsd:element name="dataTypeDef" maxOccurs="unbounded">           <xsd:complexType>             <xsd:sequence>               <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:NMTOKEN"/>               <xsd:element name="derivedFrom" type="xsd:NMTOKEN"                  minOccurs="0"/>               <xsd:element ref="synopsis"/>               <xsd:element ref="description" minOccurs="0"/>               <xsd:group ref="typeDeclarationGroup"/>             </xsd:sequence>           </xsd:complexType>         </xsd:element>       </xsd:sequence>     </xsd:complexType>      Figure 3: Initial Excerpt of dataTypeDefsType Definition in the                                  SchemaHaleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 2014   Examples of using default values is depicted in Figure 5.     <dataTypeDef>       <name>ZeroCounter</name>       <synopsis>A counter with default 0</synopsis>       <typeRef>uint32</typeRef>       <defaultValue>0</defaultValue>     </dataTypeDef>     <dataTypeDef>       <name>CounterValues</name>       <synopsis>Example default values in struct</synopsis>       <struct>         <component componentID="1">           <name>GoodPacketCounter</name>           <synopsis>A counter for good packets</synopsis>           <typeRef>ZeroCounter</typeRef>         </component>         <component componentID="2">           <name>BadPacketCounter</name>           <synopsis>A counter for bad packets</synopsis>           <typeRef>ZeroCounter</typeRef>         </component>       </struct>     </dataTypeDef>               Figure 5: Example of Optional Default Values2.3.  Optional Access Types for Structs   In the original schema, the access type can only be defined on   components of an LFB and not on components within structs or arrays.   That means that when it is a struct data type, it is not possible to   fine-tune access type per component within the struct.  A simple use   case would be to have a read-write struct component where one of the   components is a counter with an access type that could be read-reset   or read-only, e.g., a read-reset or a read-only counter inside a   struct.   This extension allows the definition of the access type for a struct   component either in the data type definitions or in the LFB component   definitions.   When optional access types for components within a struct are   defined, the access types for these components MUST override the   access type of the struct.  For example, if a struct has an access   type of read-write but has a component that is a read-only counter,   the counter's access type MUST be read-only.Haleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 2014   Per [RFC5812], the access type for a component in a capability is   always read-only.  If an access type is provided for a component in a   capability, the access type MUST be ignored.  Similarly, if an access   type is provided for a struct in a metadata, the access type MUST be   ignored.   This extension alters the definition of the struct in the XML schema   from the initial definition shown in Figure 6 to the new shown in   Figure 7.     <xsd:complexType name="structType">       <xsd:sequence>         <xsd:element name="derivedFrom" type="typeRefNMTOKEN"           minOccurs="0"/>         <xsd:element name="component" maxOccurs="unbounded">           <xsd:complexType>             <xsd:sequence>               <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:NMTOKEN"/>               <xsd:element ref="synopsis"/>               <xsd:element ref="description" minOccurs="0"/>               <xsd:element name="optional" minOccurs="0"/>               <xsd:group ref="typeDeclarationGroup"/>             </xsd:sequence>             <xsd:attribute name="componentID" type="xsd:unsignedInt"              use="required"/>           </xsd:complexType>         </xsd:element>       </xsd:sequence>     </xsd:complexType>       Figure 6: Initial XML for the Struct Definition in the SchemaHaleplidis                   Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 2014   An example of using optional access types for structs is depicted in   Figure 8.      <component componentID="1" access="read-write">         <name>PacketFlows</name>         <synopsis>Packet Flows, match and counter</synopsis>         <struct>          <component componentID="1">            <name>FlowMatch</name>            <synopsis>Flow Match</synopsis>            <typeRef>MatchType</typeRef>          </component>          <component componentID="2" access="read-only">            <name>MatchCounter</name>            <synopsis>Packets matching the flow match</synopsis>            <typeRef>ZeroCounter</typeRef>          </component>        </struct>      </component>           Figure 8: Example of Optional Access Types for Struct2.4.  New Event Condition: eventBecomesEqualTo   This extension adds one more event condition in the model schema,   eventBecomesEqualTo.  eventBecomesEqualTo is different from   eventGreaterThan and eventLessThan because the event is triggered   when the value is exactly that of the eventBecomesEqualTo threshold.   This event condition is particularly useful when there is a need to   monitor one or more states of an LFB or the FE.  For example, in the   Control Element High Availability (CEHA) document [RFC7121], it may   be useful for the master CE to know which backup CEs have just become   associated in order to connect to them and begin synchronizing the   state of the FE.  The master CE could always poll for such   information, but getting such an event will speed up the process, and   the event may be useful in other cases as well for monitoring state.   The event MUST be triggered only when the value of the targeted   component becomes equal to the event condition value.   Implementations MUST NOT generate subsequent events while the   targeted component's value remains equal to the event condition's   value.Haleplidis                   Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 2014   eventBecomesEqualTo is appended to the schema as shown in Figure 9.     <xsd:element name="eventBecomesEqualTo"       substitutionGroup="eventCondition"/>       Figure 9: New Excerpt of eventBecomesEqualTo Event Condition                         Definition in the Schema   It can become useful for the CE to be notified when the state has   changed once the eventBecomesEqualTo event has been triggered, e.g.,   the CE may need to know when a backup CE has lost association.  Such   an event can be generated either by defining a second event on the   same component (namely, an eventChanged) or by simply reusing   eventBecomesEqualTo and using event properties (in particular,   eventHysteresis).  We append the following definition to the   eventHysteresis defined inSection 4.8.5.2 of [RFC5812], with V being   the hysteresis value:   o  For an eventBecomesEqualTo condition, after the last notification,      a new eventBecomesEqualTo notification MUST be generated only one      time once the value has changed by +/- V.   For example, using the value of 1 for V will, in effect, create a   singular event that will notify the CE that the value has changed by   at least 1.   A developer of a CE should consider using count or time filtering to   avoid being overrun by messages, e.g., in the case of rapid state   changes.2.5.  LFB Properties   The previous model definition specifies properties for components of   LFBs.  Experience has shown that, at least for debug reasons, it   would be useful to have statistics per LFB instance to monitor sent   and received messages and errors in communication between a CE and   FE.  These properties are read-only.   In order to avoid ambiguity on protocol path semantics, this document   specifies that the LFB componentID 0 specifically MUST refer to LFB   properties and ID 0 MUST NOT be used for any component definition.

LFB Class Inheritance   The ForCES model [RFC5812] allows inheritance for LFB classes.   However, the XML schema defines only the LFB class from which an LFB   class inherits.  Recent implementations have identified an issue   where ambiguity rises when different versions of the parent LFB class   exist.  This document augments the derivedFrom part of the LFB class   definition with an optional version attribute when the derivedFrom   field is used.   Having the version attribute as optional was a decision based on the   need to maintain backward compatibility with the XML schema defined   in [RFC5812].  However, if the version is omitted, then derivedFrom   will always specify the first version of the parent LFB class, which   usually is version 1.0.   This extension alters the definition of derivedFrom in the XML schema   from the initial definition shown in Figure 13 to the new shown in   Figure 14.      <xsd:element name="derivedFrom" minOccurs="0"/>             Figure 13: Initial XML for LFB Class InheritanceHaleplidis                   Standards Track                   [Page 14]

Enhancing XML Validation   As specified earlier, this is not an extension but an enhancement of   the schema to provide additional validation rules.  This includes   adding new key declarations to provide uniqueness as defined by the   ForCES model [RFC5812].  Such validations work only within the same   XML file.   This document introduces the following validation rules that did not   exist in the original schema in [RFC5812]:   1.  Each metadataID must be unique.   2.  LFBClassIDs must be unique.   3.  componentID, capabilityID, and Event baseID must be unique per       LFB.   4.  eventIDs must be unique per LFB.   5.  Special values in atomic data types must be unique per atomic       data type.3.  XML Extension Schema for LFB Class Library Documents   This section includes the new XML schema.

RFC 7408                 ForCES Model Extension            November 20144.  IANA Considerations   IANA has registered a new XML namespace, as per the guidelines inRFC3688 [RFC3688].   URI: The URI for this namespace is:      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:forces:lfbmodel:1.1   Registrant Contact: IESG   XML: none, this is an XML namespace5.  Security Considerations   This specification adds only a few constructs to the initial model   defined in [RFC5812], namely, a new event, some new properties, and a   way to define optional access types and complex metadata.  In   addition, this document addresses and clarifies an issue with the   inheritance model by introducing the version of the derivedFrom LFB   class.  These constructs and the update to the inheritance model do   not change the nature of the initial model.   Thus, the security considerations defined in [RFC5812] apply to this   specification as well, as the changes proposed here are simply   constructs to write XML library definitions, as [RFC5812] does.   These changes, as well as the clarification of the inheritance issue   of the initial model, have no effect on the security semantics of the   protocol.   In regard to pervasive monitoring (PM), as discussed in [RFC7258],   this specification defines ways to expose more complex information   (namely, metadata) exchanged between LFBs and between CEs and FEs and   a new event.  These changes have very little or no effect in terms of   making PM simpler or more effective to an attacker who controls the   LFBs.  The new metadata might make for slightly more elegant PM, but   does not enable any new ways to (ab)use LFBs for PM.  The same   applies for the new event.   Finally, this document does not provide any protocol specification   and, as such, does not specify how information will be transmitted   between respective entities.  Thus, PM mitigation for a passive   attacker that simply wants to eavesdrop on the information exchanged   is out of the scope of this document.Haleplidis                   Standards Track                   [Page 29]
