In EVPN, as Patrice described, the structure is:

 

      |     +--rw bgp-parameters

      |     |  +--rw common

      |     |     +--rw rd-rt* [route-distinguisher]

      |     |        +--rw route-distinguisher    string

      |     |        +--rw vpn-target* [rt-value]

      |     |           +--rw rt-value    string

      |     |           +--rw rt-type     bgp-rt-type

 

In L2VPN, the structure is:

             +--ro bgp-auto-discovery

             |  +--ro route-distinguisher?   string

             |  +--ro vpn-target* [rt-value]

             |  |  +--ro rt-value    string

             |  |  +--ro rt-type     bgp-rt-type

 

In L3VPN, the current structure is:

      +--rw route-distinguisher

      |  +--rw config

      |  |  +--rw rd?   string

      +--rw ipv4

      |  +--rw unicast

      |     +--rw route-targets

      |     |  +--rw config

      |     |  |  +--rw rts* [rt]

      |     |  |  |  +--rw rt         string

      |     |  |  |  +--rw rt-type?   Enumeration

      +--rw ipv6

         +--rw unicast

            +--rw route-targets

            |  +--rw config

            |  |  +--rw rts* [rt]

            |  |  |  +--rw rt         string

            |  |  |  +--rw rt-type?   enumeration

 

Hi Dhanendra and All,

 

Are we ok to move the route targets section out of the AF specific location
to where RD is specified? If so, we can define the following common
grouping:

 

Dhjain> I think one way to handle this is to have separate common groupings
for RD and RT. So that we can retain AF level granularity for RT grouping
for import/export rules. 

[Xufeng] Yes. That will be the approach below, to have separate an RT
grouping. The question is: do we need/want to retain the AF level
granularity for RT rules?

 

Thanks,

Dhanendra.

 

             |  +--ro route-distinguisher?   string

             |  +--ro vpn-target* [rt-value]

             |  |  +--ro rt-value    string

             |  |  +--ro rt-type     bgp-rt-type

 

Otherwise, we can only define a grouping without the RD:

 

             |  +--ro vpn-target* [rt-value]

             |  |  +--ro rt-value    string

             |  |  +--ro rt-type     bgp-rt-type

Thanks,

Given that there is no paucity of authors and contributors on these three
BESS YANG models, I'd hope that one of them could provide a suggested common
grouping. For now, I've added the route-target-type type on which there
seems to be consensus. 

 

Thanks,

Acee

Hi Folks,

 

Same here. Can we do something about it?  And agree, all 3 VPN models should
have the same commonality.

I'd prefer common grouping indraft-ietf-rtgwg-routing-types and references
from any other model using it

Hi Giles,

I will add the route-target-type type (enum of import, export, both) but for
a general grouping, it appears there are some discrepancies between the 3
models. Assuming the types: route-discriminator, route-target, and
route-target-type, can you provide a consensus grouping that all the models
would use? 

Thanks,

Acee

Hi Acee, 

 

In general seems that for any BGP VPN (L2 or L3) you have an RD plus a list
of RTs (which can be import, export or both) - so I'd prefer that to be
defined in a shared grouping (more or less as per the structure Patrice gave
below) than to force each model to redefine it.

Hi Patrice - we are working fervently on a common IETF routing types model.
We have both route-target and router-distinguisher types defined there. The
work is being done in the Routing WG. Our intension is to accelerate
standardization so it doesn't hold up standardization of the importing
modules. Please comment as to whether you think this meets BESS
requirements.

Thanks,

P.S. We plan an update next week but the RD and RT definitions have not
changed.

Subject: [bess] BGP common parameter Yang module

 

Folks,

 

As part of EVPN, L2VPn and L3VPN Yang model, there is a "module" common to
all 3 Yang models.

 

      |     +--rw bgp-parameters

      |     |  +--rw common

      |     |     +--rw rd-rt* [route-distinguisher]

      |     |        +--rw route-distinguisher    string

      |     |        +--rw vpn-target* [rt-value]

      |     |           +--rw rt-value    string

      |     |           +--rw rt-type     bgp-rt-type

 

 

It will be interesting to create a common BGP parameter Yang module as shown
above. I think it just makes sense.

However, there is a minor challenge; that module require a home (a draft).

I'm looking for feedback about the best place/draft for such a module.

 

Thanks for your help.

Patrice Brissette
