RIB Information Model
RFC 8430, “RIB Information Model”, is an Informational document published in September 2018 by N. Bahadur, S. Kini, J. Medved. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Routing and routing functions in enterprise and carrier networks are typically performed by network devices (routers and switches) using a Routing Information Base (RIB). Protocols and configurations push data into the RIB, and the RIB manager installs state into the hardware for packet forwarding. This document specifies an information model for the RIB to enable defining a standardized data model. The IETF's I2RS WG used this document to design the I2RS RIB data model. This document is being published to record the higher- level information model decisions for RIBs so that other developers of RIBs may benefit from the design concepts.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
