ietf-network data

This module defines a common base model for a collection of nodes in a network. Node definitions s are further used in network topologies and inventories.

nd:network

Describes a network. A network typically contains an inventory of nodes, topological information (augmented through network-topology model), as well as layering information.

Key Identifiers:

XPath Path	/nd:network
XPath Keyed Path	/nd:network[nd:network-id='STRING']
RW.REST URI Path	/ietf-network:network/STRING

Fields

Name	Type	Description
network-types	CONTAINER	Serves as an augmentation target. The network type is indicated through corresponding presence containers augmented into this container.
network-id	STRING	Identifies a network.
server-provided	BOOLEAN	Indicates whether the information concerning this particular network is populated by the server (server-provided true, the general case for network information discovered from the server), or whether it is configured by a client (server-provided true, possible e.g. for service overlays managed through a controller).
supporting-network	LIST	An underlay network, used to represent layered network topologies.
node	LIST	The inventory of nodes of this network.
link	LIST	A Network Link connects a by Local (Source) node and a Remote (Destination) Network Nodes via a set of the nodes' termination points. As it is possible to have several links between the same source and destination nodes, and as a link could potentially be re-homed between termination points, to ensure that we would always know to distinguish between links, every link is identified by a dedicated link identifier. Note that a link models a point-to-point link, not a multipoint link. Layering dependencies on links in underlay topologies are not represented as the layering information of nodes and of termination points is sufficient.
