RFC9363 defines a YANG Data Model for SCHC rules. specifies the process for SID allocation and management. This document discuss of the SID allocation for RFC9363.

The version @2023-01-18 of the SCHC YANG Data Model published in RFC 9363 contains 136 SIDs (92 for identities, 2 for features and 42 for data). indicates that the SID range for YANG Data Model specified in RFC is between 1000 and 59 000 and the maximum request pool SHOULD NOT exceed 1000. The draft also gives some pre allocated values. Since SIDs will be used either to represent unique identity contained in data model and also leafs (data) forming this data model, it could be wise to distinguish between identifiers and data. Data structures are delta encoded and included as a CBOR element, the size depends of the value. Deltas between -24 and +23 are coded on a single byte. Deltas between -256 and +255 uses 2 bytes and larger values corresponding to the RFC SID range will be coded into 3 bytes. To optimize the CORECONF representation delta should be smaller as possible for the more frequent leafs. On the other hand identities are included in the CORECONF representation and for the RFC SID range the size is constant and equal to 3 bytes.

The example gives the CORECONF structure as store in Python and its equivalent is ASCII with JSON. The default SID numbering was used, starting from 5000 for SCHC Data Model defined in RFC9363 and 2000000 fr an experimental module for OAM. We can see the delta encoding. The first SID 5095 represent “ietf-schc:schc”. “/ietf-schc:schc/rule” which is coded with a +1 since SID 5096 as been assigned. “/ietf-schc:schc/rule/entry” is coded with a delta of 4. Then a list of Field Description follows. +1 represents the leaf “ietf-schc:schc/rule/entry/comp-decomp-action” and the value assigned to that keys contains the SID of “ietf-schc:cda-not-sent” identity. Note that the second element contains a “field-id” belonging to the “ietf-schc-oam” module and the associate SID is 2000003.

The SCHC YANG Data Model defined in RFC 9363 will be probably be augmented, to include for instance access control data. To keep a compact representation, delta values must be kept as small. The LPWAN working group should not use the automatic SID numbering and provide a more optimal allocation scheme for augmentation of the SCHC YANG DM. A first recommendation is to avoid to merge data and identity to limit the delta encoding. The distance between this two sections can be 255 SID to allow deltas on 2 bytes. The second recommendation is to leave some unused SID around SCHC rules to allow augmentation.

We propose to use a range of 100 values for the YANG DM defined in RFC9263. The next range could be used for instance by the access control Data Model which extend RFC9363. It is also worth noting that in the current SID allocation based on alphabetical order places rule-id-value and rule-id-length, rule-nature from the 33 to 35 position. CBOR encoding will be on two bytes for each of the values. Since these three values are present in all the rules, a smaller value will optimize the CORECONF representation.

We propose the following allocation scheme for RFC9363:

For instance augments the model with “ac-modify-set-of-rules” at the top level, “ac-modify-compression-rule” for each compression rule, “ac-modify-field” in each Field Description of a compression rule and finally “ac-modify-timers” in fragmentation rules. Delta representation will be on 1 byte. The following SIDs could be assigned: 5022: ac-modify-set-of-rules 5051: ac-modify-compression-rule 5069: ac-modify-field 5068: ac-modify-timers augments the model for fragmentation, with 3 identity and two leaves. identities can get a SID 5394 to 5396 and the two SIDs for the leaves can be 5120 and 5122. There delta representations will be coded on 2 bytes.

This document defines how to compress Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) headers using the Static Context Header Compression and fragmentation (SCHC) framework. SCHC defines a header compression mechanism adapted for Constrained Devices. SCHC uses a static description of the header to reduce the header's redundancy and size. While RFC 8724 describes the SCHC compression and fragmentation framework, and its application for IPv6/UDP headers, this document applies SCHC to CoAP headers. The CoAP header structure differs from IPv6 and UDP, since CoAP uses a flexible header with a variable number of options, themselves of variable length. The CoAP message format is asymmetric: the request messages have a header format different from the format in the response messages. This specification gives guidance on applying SCHC to flexible headers and how to leverage the asymmetry for more efficient compression Rules. The standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) or the RESTCONF protocol requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. This document defines such an access control model.This document obsoletes RFC 6536. Acklio Institut MINES TELECOM; IMT Atlantique This document describes a YANG data model for the SCHC (Static Context Header Compression) compression and fragmentation rules. This document formalizes the description of the rules for better interoperability between SCHC instances either to exchange a set of rules or to modify some rules parameters. Trilliant Networks Inc. Acklio Google Switzerland GmbH Universität Bremen TZI Sandelman Software Works YANG Schema Item iDentifiers (YANG SID) are globally unique 63-bit unsigned integers used to identify YANG items, as a more compact method to identify YANG items that can be used for efficiency and in constrained environments (RFC 7228). This document defines the semantics, the registration, and assignment processes of YANG SIDs for IETF managed YANG modules. To enable the implementation of these processes, this document also defines a file format used to persist and publish assigned YANG SIDs. // The present version (-19) adds in draft text about objectives, // parties, and roles. This attempts to record discussions at side // meetings before, at, and after IETF 113. The framework for SCHC defines an abstract view of the rules, formalized with through a YANG Data Model. In its original description rules are static and share by 2 entities. The use of YANG authorizes rules to be uploaded or modified in a SCHC instance and leads to some possible attacks, if the changes are not controlled. This document summarizes some possible attacks and define augmentation to the existing Data Mode, to restrict the changes in the rule. Cisco Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya IMT-Atlantique Concordia University NIC Labs, Universidad de Chile The present document describes an update to the SCHC (Static Context Header Compression and fragmentation) protocol RFC8724. It defines a SCHC Compound ACK message format and procedure, which are intended to reduce the number of response transmissions (i.e., SCHC ACKs) in the ACK-on-Error mode, by accumulating bitmaps of several windows in a single SCHC message (i.e., the SCHC Compound ACK). Both message format and procedure are generic, so they can be used, for instance, by any of the four Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) technologies defined in RFC8376, being Sigfox, LoRaWAN, NB- IoT and IEEE 802.15.4w.
