A YANG Data Model for Layer 2 Network Topologies
Overview
RFC 8944, “A YANG Data Model for Layer 2 Network Topologies”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2020 by J. Dong, X. Wei, Q. Wu, M. Boucadair, A. Liu. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a YANG data model for Layer 2 network topologies. In particular, this data model augments the generic network and network topology data models with topology attributes that are specific to Layer 2.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
