A YANG Data Model for Virtual Network Operations
RFC 9731, “A YANG Data Model for Virtual Network Operations”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2025 by Y. Lee, D. Dhody, D. Ceccarelli, I. Bryskin, B. Yoon. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A Virtual Network (VN) is a network provided by a service provider to a customer for the customer to use in any way it wants as though it were a physical network. This document provides a YANG data model generally applicable to any mode of VN operations. This includes VN operations as per the Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) framework (RFC 8453).
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.
