Generic YANG Data Model for Connection-Oriented Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Protocols

Overview

RFC 8531, “Generic YANG Data Model for Connection-Oriented Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Protocols”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2019 by D. Kumar, Q. Wu, Z. Wang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document presents a base YANG data model for connection-oriented Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) protocols. It provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs for such protocols. The model presented here can be extended to include technology-specific details. This guarantees uniformity in the management of OAM protocols and provides support for nested OAM workflows (i.e., performing OAM functions at different levels through a unified interface).

The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture.

What “Proposed Standard” means
