1.  Introduction

The IETF has specified YANG modules for VPN services, e.g., the Layer 3 VPN Service Model (L3SM) [RFC 8299] or the Layer 2 VPN Service Model (L2SM) [RFC 8466]. Other relevant YANG data models are the Layer 3 VPN Network Model (L3NM) [RFC 9182] and the Layer 2 VPN Network Model (L2NM) [L2NM-YANG]. There are common data nodes and structures that are present in all of these models or at least a subset of them.
This document defines a common YANG module that is meant to be reused by various VPN-related modules such as the L3NM [RFC 9182] and the L2NM [L2NM-YANG]: "ietf-vpn-common" (Section 4).
The "ietf-vpn-common" module includes a set of identities, types, and groupings that are meant to be reused by other VPN-related YANG modules independently of their layer (e.g., Layer 2, Layer 3) and the type of the module (e.g., network model, service model), including possible future revisions of existing models (e.g., the L3SM [RFC 8299] or the L2SM [RFC 8466]).

2.  Terminology

The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC 7950].
The meanings of the symbols in tree diagrams are defined in [RFC 8340].
The reader may refer to [RFC 4026] and [RFC 4176] for VPN-related terms.
This document inherits many terms from [RFC 8299] and [RFC 8466] (e.g., Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC)).

3.  Description of the VPN Common YANG Module

The "ietf-vpn-common" module defines a set of common VPN-related features, including the following:
Encapsulation features, such as the following:
Routing features, such as the following:
Also, the module defines a set of identities, including the following:
'service-type':
Used to identify the VPN service type. Examples of supported service types are as follows:
'vpn-signaling-type':
Used to identify the signaling mode used for a given service type. Examples of supported VPN signaling types are as follows:
The module covers both IPv4 [RFC 0791] and IPv6 [RFC 8200] identities. It also includes multicast-related identities such as Internet Group Management Protocol version 1 (IGMPv1) [RFC 1112], IGMPv2 [RFC 2236], IGMPv3 [RFC 3376], Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 (MLDv1) [RFC 2710], MLDv2 [RFC 3810], and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) [RFC 7761].
The reader should refer to Section 4 for the full list of supported identities (identities related to address families, VPN topologies, network access types, operational and administrative status, site or node role, VPN service constraints, routing protocols, route import and export policies, bandwidth, Quality of Service (QoS), etc.).
The "ietf-vpn-common" module also contains a set of reusable VPN-related groupings. Figure 1 provides the tree diagram that depicts the common groupings for the "ietf-vpn-common" module.

The descriptions of the common groupings are provided below:
'vpn-description':
A YANG grouping that provides common administrative VPN information such as an identifier, a name, a textual description, and a customer name.
'vpn-profile-cfg':
A YANG grouping that defines a set of valid profiles (encryption, routing, forwarding, etc.) that can be bound to a Layer 2/3 VPN. This document does not make any assumptions about the structure of such profiles but allows "gluing" a VPN service with other parameters that can be required locally to provide value-added features to requesting customers.
For example, a service provider may provide external connectivity to a VPN customer (e.g., to a private or public cloud, Internet). Such a service may involve tweaking both filtering and NAT rules (e.g., binding a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) interface with a NAT instance as discussed in Section 2.10 of RFC 8512). These value-added features may be bound to all, or a subset of, network accesses. Some of these value-added features may be implemented in nodes other than Provider Edges (PEs) (e.g., a P node or even a dedicated node that hosts the NAT function).
Elaborating on the structure of these profiles is beyond the scope of this document.
'oper-status-timestamp':
A YANG grouping that defines the operational status updates of a VPN service or component.
'service-status':
A YANG grouping that defines the administrative and operational status of a component. The grouping can be applied to the whole service or an endpoint.
'underlay-transport':
A YANG grouping that defines the type of the underlay transport for a VPN service or how that underlay is set.
The underlay transport can be expressed as an abstract transport instance (e.g., an identifier of a VPN+ instance [Enhanced-VPN-Framework], a virtual network identifier [ACTN-VN-YANG] [RFC 8453], or a network slice name [Network-Slices-Framework]) or as an ordered list of the actual protocols to be enabled in the network.
The module supports a rich set of protocol identifiers that can be used, for example, to refer to an underlay transport. Examples of supported protocols are as follows:
'vpn-route-targets':
A YANG grouping that defines Route Target (RT) import/export rules used in a BGP-enabled VPN. This grouping can be used for both L3VPNs [RFC 4364] and L2VPNs [RFC 4664]. Note that this is modeled as a list to ease the reuse of this grouping in modules where an RT identifier is needed (e.g., associating an operator with RTs).
'route-distinguisher':
A YANG grouping that defines Route Distinguishers (RDs).
As depicted in Figure 2, the module supports the following RD assignment modes: direct assignment, full automatic assignment, automatic assignment from a given pool, and no assignment.
Also, the module accommodates deployments where only the Assigned Number subfield of RDs (Section 4.2 of RFC 4364) is assigned from a pool while the Administrator subfield is set to, for example, the Router ID that is assigned to a VPN node. The module supports three modes for managing the Assigned Number subfield: explicit assignment, automatic assignment from a given pool, and full automatic assignment. 
  grouping route-distinguisher:
    +-- (rd-choice)?
       +--:(directly-assigned)
       |  +-- rd?               rt-types:route-distinguisher
       +--:(directly-assigned-suffix)
       |  +-- rd-suffix?        uint16
       +--:(auto-assigned)
       |  +-- rd-auto
       |     +-- (auto-mode)?
       |     |  +--:(from-pool)
       |     |  |  +-- rd-pool-name?   string
       |     |  +--:(full-auto)
       |     |     +-- auto?           empty
       |     +--ro auto-assigned-rd?
       |     |       rt-types:route-distinguisher
       +--:(auto-assigned-suffix)
       |  +-- rd-auto-suffix
       |     +-- (auto-mode)?
       |     |  +--:(from-pool)
       |     |  |  +-- rd-pool-name?        string
       |     |  +--:(full-auto)
       |     |     +-- auto?                empty
       |     +--ro auto-assigned-rd-suffix?   uint16
       +--:(no-rd)
          +-- no-rd?            empty
'vpn-components-group':
A YANG grouping that is used to group VPN nodes, VPN network accesses, or sites. For example, diversity or redundancy constraints can be applied on a per-group basis.
'placement-constraints':
A YANG grouping that is used to define the placement constraints of a VPN node, VPN network access, or site.
'ports':
A YANG grouping that defines ranges of source and destination port numbers and operators. The subtree of this grouping is depicted in Figure 3. 
  grouping ports:
    +-- (source-port)?
    |  +--:(source-port-range-or-operator)
    |     +-- source-port-range-or-operator
    |        +-- (port-range-or-operator)?
    |           +--:(range)
    |           |  +-- lower-port    inet:port-number
    |           |  +-- upper-port    inet:port-number
    |           +--:(operator)
    |              +-- operator?     operator
    |              +-- port          inet:port-number
    +-- (destination-port)?
       +--:(destination-port-range-or-operator)
          +-- destination-port-range-or-operator
             +-- (port-range-or-operator)?
                +--:(range)
                |  +-- lower-port    inet:port-number
                |  +-- upper-port    inet:port-number
                +--:(operator)
                   +-- operator?     operator
                   +-- port          inet:port-number
'qos-classification-policy':
A YANG grouping that defines a set of QoS classification policies based on various Layer 3/4 and application match criteria. The subtree of this grouping is depicted in Figure 4.
The QoS match criteria reuse groupings that are defined in the packet fields module "ietf-packet-fields" (Section 4.2 of RFC 8519).
Any Layer 4 protocol can be indicated in the 'protocol' data node under 'l3', but only TCP- and UDP-specific match criteria are elaborated on in this version, as these protocols are widely used in the context of VPN services. Future revisions can be considered to add other Layer-4-specific parameters (e.g., the Stream Control Transmission Protocol [RFC 4960]), if needed.
Some transport protocols use existing protocols (e.g., TCP or UDP) as the substrate. The match criteria for such protocols may rely upon the 'protocol' under 'l3', TCP/UDP match criteria as shown in Figure 4, part of the TCP/UDP payload, or a combination thereof. This version of the module does not support such advanced match criteria. Future revisions of the module may consider adding match criteria based on the transport protocol payload (e.g., by means of a bitmask match).

    +-- rule* [id]
       +-- id                         string

       |  +--:(match-flow)

5.  Security Considerations

The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC 6241] or RESTCONF [RFC 8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC 6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC 8446].
The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC 8341] 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.
The "ietf-vpn-common" module defines a set of identities, types, and groupings. These nodes are intended to be reused by other YANG modules. The module by itself does not expose any data nodes that are writable, data nodes that contain read-only state, or RPCs. As such, there are no additional security issues related to the "ietf-vpn-common" module that need to be considered.
Modules that use the groupings that are defined in this document should identify the corresponding security considerations. For example, reusing some of these groupings will expose privacy-related information (e.g., 'customer-name'). Disclosing such information may be considered a violation of the customer-provider trust relationship.

In order to avoid duplication of data nodes and to ease passing data among layers (i.e., from the service layer to the network layer and vice versa), early versions of the L3NM reused many of the data nodes that are defined in the L3SM. Nevertheless, that approach was abandoned because that design was interpreted as if the deployment of the L3NM depends on the L3SM, while this is not required. For example, a service provider may decide to use the L3NM to build its L3VPN services without exposing the L3SM to customers.
Likewise, early versions of the L2NM reused many of the data nodes that are defined in both the L2SM and the L3NM. An example of L3NM groupings reused in the L2NM is shown in Figure 5. Such reuse of data nodes was interpreted as if the deployment of the L2NM requires support for the L3NM, which is not required.
