RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 20171. Introduction There is a need for standard mechanisms to patch datastores defined in [RFC6241], which contain conceptual data that conforms to schema specified with YANG [RFC7950]. An "ordered 'edit' list" approach is needed to provide RESTCONF client developers with more precise RESTCONF client control of the edit procedure than the "plain patch" mechanism found in [RFC8040]. This document defines a media type for a YANG-based editing mechanism that can be used with the HTTP PATCH method [RFC5789]. YANG Patch is designed to support the RESTCONF protocol, defined in [RFC8040]. This document only specifies the use of the YANG Patch media type with the RESTCONF protocol. It may be possible to use YANG Patch with other protocols besides RESTCONF. This is outside the scope of this document. For any protocol that supports the YANG Patch media type, if the entire patch document cannot be successfully applied, then the server MUST NOT apply any of the changes. It may be possible to use YANG Patch with datastore types other than a configuration datastore. This is outside the scope of this document.1.1. Terminology 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].1.1.1. NETCONF The following terms are defined in [RFC6241]: o configuration data o datastore o configuration datastore o protocol operation o running configuration datastore o state data o userBierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 20171.1.2. HTTP The following terms are defined in [RFC7230]: o header field o message-body o query o request URI The following terms are defined in [RFC7231]: o method o request o resource1.1.3. YANG The following terms are defined in [RFC7950]: o container o data node o leaf o leaf-list o list1.1.4. RESTCONF The following terms are defined in [RFC8040]: o application/yang-data+xml o application/yang-data+json o data resource o datastore resource o patchBierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 2017 o RESTCONF capability o target resource o YANG data template1.1.5. YANG Patch The following terms are used within this document: o RESTCONF client: a client that implements the RESTCONF protocol. o RESTCONF server: a server that implements the RESTCONF protocol. o YANG Patch: a conceptual edit request using the "yang-patch" YANG Patch template, defined inSection 3. In HTTP, refers to a PATCH method where a representation uses either the media type "application/yang-patch+xml" or "application/yang-patch+json". o YANG Patch Status: a conceptual edit status response using the YANG "yang-patch-status" YANG data template, defined inSection 3. In HTTP, refers to a response message for a PATCH method, where it has a representation with either the media type "application/yang-data+xml" or "application/yang-data+json". o YANG Patch template: similar to a YANG data template, except that it has a representation with the media type "application/yang-patch+xml" or "application/yang-patch+json".1.1.6. Examples Some protocol message lines within examples throughout this document are split into multiple lines for display purposes only. When a line ends with a backslash ("\") as the last character, the line is wrapped for display purposes. It is to be considered to be joined to the next line by deleting the backslash, the following line break, and the leading whitespace of the next line.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 20171.1.7. Tree Diagram Notations A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meanings of the symbols in these diagrams are as follows: o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys. o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration data (read-write), "ro" means state data (read-only), and "x" means operation resource (executable). o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, 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. YANG Patch A "YANG Patch" is an ordered list of edits that are applied to the target datastore by the RESTCONF server. The specific fields are defined in the YANG module inSection 3. The YANG Patch operation is invoked by the RESTCONF client by sending a PATCH method request with a representation using either the media type "application/yang-patch+xml" or "application/yang-patch+json". This message-body representing the YANG Patch input parameters MUST be present. YANG Patch has some features that are not possible with the "plain-patch" mechanism defined in RESTCONF [RFC8040]: o YANG Patch allows multiple sub-resources to be edited within the same PATCH method. o YANG Patch allows a more precise edit operation than the "plain patch" mechanism found in [RFC8040]. There are seven operations supported ("create", "delete", "insert", "merge", "move", "replace", and "remove"). o YANG Patch uses an "edit" list with an explicit processing order. The edits are processed in client-specified order, and error processing can be precise even when multiple errors occur in the same YANG Patch request.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 2017 The YANG Patch "patch-id" may be useful for debugging and SHOULD be present in any audit logging records generated by the RESTCONF server for a patch. The RESTCONF server MUST return the "Accept-Patch" header field in an OPTIONS response, as specified in [RFC5789], which includes the media type for YANG Patch. This is needed by a client to determine the message-encoding formats supported by the server (e.g., XML, JSON, or both). The following is an example of an "Accept-Patch" header: Accept-Patch: application/yang-patch+xml,application/yang-patch+json Note that YANG Patch can only edit data resources. The PATCH method cannot be used to replace the datastore resource. Although the "ietf-yang-patch" YANG module is written using YANG version 1.1 [RFC7950], an implementation of YANG Patch can be used with content defined in YANG version 1 [RFC6020] as well. A YANG Patch can be encoded in XML format according to [W3C.REC-xml-20081126]. It can also be encoded in JSON according to "JSON Encoding of Data Modeled with YANG" [RFC7951]. If any metadata needs to be sent in a JSON message, it is encoded according to "Defining and Using Metadata with YANG" [RFC7952].2.1. Target Resource The YANG Patch operation uses the RESTCONF target resource URI to identify the resource that will be patched. This can be the datastore resource itself, i.e., "{+restconf}/data", to edit top-level configuration data resources, or it can be a configuration data resource within the datastore resource, e.g., "{+restconf}/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces", to edit sub-resources within a top-level configuration data resource. The target resource MUST identify exactly one resource instance. If more than one resource instance is identified, then the request MUST NOT be processed and a "400 Bad Request" error response MUST be sent by the server. If the target resource does not identify any existing resource instance, then the request MUST NOT be processed and a "404 Not Found" error response MUST be sent by the server. Each edit with a YANG Patch identifies a target data node for the associated edit. This is described inSection 2.4.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 20172.2. yang-patch Request A YANG Patch is identified by a unique "patch-id", and it may have an optional comment. A patch is an ordered collection of edits. Each edit is identified by an "edit-id", and it has an edit operation ("create", "delete", "insert", "merge", "move", "replace", or "remove") that is applied to the target resource. Each edit can be applied to a sub-resource "target" within the target resource. If the operation is "insert" or "move", then the "where" parameter indicates how the node is inserted or moved. For values "before" and "after", the "point" parameter specifies the data node insertion point. The "merge", "replace", "create", "delete", and "remove" edit operations have exactly the same meanings as those defined for the "operation" attribute described inSection 7.2 of [RFC6241]. Each edit within a YANG Patch MUST identify exactly one data resource instance. If an edit represents more than one resource instance, then the request MUST NOT be processed and a "400 Bad Request" error response MUST be sent by the server. If the edit does not identify any existing resource instance and the operation for the edit is not "create", then the request MUST NOT be processed and a "404 Not Found" error response MUST be sent by the server. A "yang-patch-status" response MUST be sent by the server identifying the edit or edits that are not valid. YANG Patch does not provide any access to specific datastores. How a server processes an edit if it is co-located with a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server that does provide access to individual datastores is left up to the implementation. A complete datastore cannot be replaced in the same manner as that provided by the <copy-config> operation defined inSection 7.3 of [RFC6241]. Only the specified nodes in a YANG Patch are affected. A message-body representing the YANG Patch is sent by the RESTCONF client to specify the edit operation request. When used with the HTTP PATCH method, this data is identified by the YANG Patch media type.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 2017 YANG tree diagram for "yang-patch" container: +---- yang-patch +---- patch-id string +---- comment? string +---- edit* [edit-id] +---- edit-id string +---- operation enumeration +---- target target-resource-offset +---- point? target-resource-offset +---- where? enumeration +---- value?2.3. yang-patch-status Response A message-body representing the YANG Patch Status is returned to the RESTCONF client to report the detailed status of the edit operation. When used with the HTTP PATCH method, this data is identified by the YANG Patch Status media type; the syntax specification is defined inSection 3.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]

Target Data Node The target data node for each edit operation is determined by the value of the target resource in the request and the "target" leaf within each "edit" entry. If the target resource specified in the request URI identifies a datastore resource, then the path string in the "target" leaf is treated as an absolute path expression identifying the target data node for the corresponding edit. The first node specified in the "target" leaf is a top-level data node defined within a YANG module. The "target" leaf MUST NOT contain a single forward slash ("/"), since this would identify the datastore resource, not a data resource.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 2017 If the target resource specified in the request URI identifies a configuration data resource, then the path string in the "target" leaf is treated as a relative path expression. The first node specified in the "target" leaf is a child configuration data node of the data node associated with the target resource. If the "target" leaf contains a single forward slash ("/"), then the target data node is the target resource data node.2.5. Edit Operations Each YANG Patch edit specifies one edit operation on the target data node. The set of operations is aligned with the NETCONF edit operations but also includes some new operations. +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | Operation | Description | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | create | create a new data resource if it does not already | | | exist; if it already exists, return an error | | | | | delete | delete a data resource if it already exists; if it | | | does not exist, return an error | | | | | insert | insert a new user-ordered data resource | | | | | merge | merge the edit value with the target data resource; | | | create if it does not already exist | | | | | move | reorder the target data resource | | | | | replace | replace the target data resource with the edit value | | | | | remove | remove a data resource if it already exists | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ YANG Patch Edit Operations2.6. Successful Edit Response Handling If a YANG Patch is completed without errors, the RESTCONF server MUST return a "yang-patch-status" message with a "global-status" choice set to "ok". Refer toAppendix A.1.2 for an example of a successful YANG Patch response.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 20172.7. Error Handling If a well-formed, schema-valid YANG Patch message is received, then the RESTCONF server will process the supplied edits in ascending order. The following error modes apply to the processing of this "edit" list: If a YANG Patch is completed with errors, the RESTCONF server SHOULD return a "yang-patch-status" message. It is possible (e.g., within a distributed implementation) that an invalid request will be rejected before the YANG Patch edits are processed. In this case, the server MUST send the appropriate HTTP error response instead. Refer toAppendix A.1.1 for an example of an error YANG Patch response.2.8. ":yang-patch" RESTCONF Capability A URI is defined to identify the YANG Patch extension to the base RESTCONF protocol. If the RESTCONF server supports the YANG Patch media type, then the ":yang-patch" RESTCONF capability defined inSection 4.3 MUST be present in the "capability" leaf-list in the "ietf-restconf-monitoring" module defined in [RFC8040].Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 20173. YANG Module The "ietf-yang-patch" module defines conceptual definitions with the "yang-data" extension statements, which are not meant to be implemented as datastore contents by a RESTCONF server. The "ietf-restconf" module from [RFC8040] is used by this module for the "yang-data" extension definition. <CODE BEGINS> file "ietf-yang-patch@2017-02-22.yang" module ietf-yang-patch { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-patch"; prefix "ypatch"; import ietf-restconf { prefix rc; } organization "IETF NETCONF (Network Configuration) Working Group"; contact "WG Web: <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/netconf/> WG List: <mailto:netconf@ietf.org> Author: Andy Bierman <mailto:andy@yumaworks.com> Author: Martin Bjorklund <mailto:mbj@tail-f.com> Author: Kent Watsen <mailto:kwatsen@juniper.net>"; description "This module contains conceptual YANG specifications for the YANG Patch and YANG Patch Status data structures.

Provisional registration? (standards tree only): no4.3. RESTCONF Capability URNs This document registers one capability identifier in the "RESTCONF Capability URNs" registry [RFC8040]. The review policy for this registry is "IETF Review" [RFC5226]. Index Capability Identifier ------------------------------------------------------------------ :yang-patch urn:ietf:params:restconf:capability:yang-patch:1.05. Security Considerations The YANG Patch media type does not introduce any significant new security threats, beyond what is described in [RFC8040]. This document defines edit processing instructions for a variant of the PATCH method, as used within the RESTCONF protocol. Message integrity is provided by the RESTCONF protocol. There is no additional capability to validate that a patch has not been altered. It may be possible to use YANG Patch with other protocols besides RESTCONF; this topic is outside the scope of this document.Bierman, et al. Standards Track [Page 25]
RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 2017 For RESTCONF, both the client and server MUST be authenticated according toSection 2 of [RFC8040]. It is important for RESTCONF server implementations to carefully validate all the edit request parameters in some manner. If the entire YANG Patch request cannot be completed, then no configuration changes to the system are done. A PATCH request MUST be applied atomically, as specified inSection 2 of [RFC5789]. A RESTCONF server implementation SHOULD attempt to prevent system disruption due to incremental processing of the YANG Patch "edit" list. It may be possible to construct an attack on such a RESTCONF server, which relies on the edit processing order mandated by YANG Patch. A server SHOULD apply only the fully validated configuration to the underlying system. For example, an "edit" list that deleted an interface and then recreated it could cause system disruption if the "edit" list was incrementally applied. A RESTCONF server implementation SHOULD attempt to prevent system disruption due to excessive resource consumption required to fulfill YANG Patch edit requests. On such an implementation, it may be possible to construct an attack that attempts to consume all available memory or other resource types.6. References6.1.

RFC 8072 YANG Patch February 2017A.1. YANG Patch Examples This section includes RESTCONF examples. Most examples are shown in JSON encoding [RFC7159], and some are shown in XML encoding [W3C.REC-xml-20081126].A.1.1. Add Resources: Error The following example shows several songs being added to an existing album. Each edit contains one song. The first song already exists, so an error will be reported for that edit. The rest of the edits were not attempted, since the first edit failed. XML encoding is used in this example.
