1.  Introduction

   SCHC is a compression and fragmentation mechanism for constrained
   networks defined in [RFC8724].  It is based on a static context
   shared by two entities at the boundary of the constrained network.
   [RFC8724] provides an informal representation of the rules Rules used
   either for compression/decompression (C/D) or fragmentation/
   reassembly (F/R).  The goal of this document is to formalize the
   description of the rules Rules to offer:

   *  the same definition on both ends, even if the internal
      representation is different, and

   *  an update of the other end to set up some specific values (e.g.,
      IPv6 prefix, destination address, etc.).

   [LPWAN-ARCH] illustrates the exchange of rules Rules using the YANG data
   model.

   This document defines a YANG module data model [RFC7950] to represent both
   compression and fragmentation rules, Rules, which leads to common
   representation for values for all the rules' Rules' elements.

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Terminology

   This section defines the terminology and acronyms used in this
   document.  It extends the terminology of [RFC8376].

   App:  Low-Power WAN (LPWAN) Application, as defined by [RFC8376].  An
      application sending/receiving packets to/from the Dev.

   Bi:  Bidirectional.  Characterizes a Field Descriptor that applies to
      headers of packets traveling in either direction (Up and Dw; see
      this glossary).

   CDA:  Compression/Decompression Action.  Describes the pair of
      actions that are performed at the compressor to compress a header
      field and at the decompressor to recover the original value of the
      header field.

   Context:  A set of Rules used to compress/decompress headers.

   Dev:  Device, as defined by [RFC8376].

   DevIID:  Device Interface Identifier.  The IID that identifies the
      Dev interface.

   DI:  Direction Indicator.  This field tells which direction of packet
      travel (Up, Dw, or Bi) a Field Description Descriptor applies to.  This allows
      for asymmetric processing, using the same Rule.

   Dw:  Downlink direction for compression/decompression, from SCHC C/D
      in the network to SCHC C/D in the Dev.

   FID:  Field Identifier. Identifier or Field ID.  This identifies the protocol and
      field a Field Description Descriptor applies to.

   FL:  Field Length.  This is the length of the original packet header
      field.  It is expressed as a number of bits for header fields of
      fixed lengths or as a type (e.g., variable, token length, ...) for
      Field Lengths that are unknown at the time of Rule creation.  The
      length of a header field is defined in the corresponding protocol
      specification (such as IPv6 or UDP).

   FP:  Field Position.  When a field is expected to appear multiple
      times in a header, the Field Position specifies the occurrence
      this Field Description Descriptor applies to (for example, first Uri-Path
      option, second Uri-Path, etc. in a Constrained Application
      Protocol (CoAP) header), counting from 1.  The value 0 is special
      and means "don't care" (see Section 7.2 of [RFC8724]).

   IID:  Interface Identifier.  See the IPv6 addressing architecture
      [RFC7136].

   L2 Word:  This is the minimum subdivision of payload data that the
      Layer 2 (L2) will carry.  In most L2 technologies, the L2 Word is
      an octet.  In bit-oriented radio technologies, the L2 Word might
      be a single bit.  The L2 Word size is assumed to be constant over
      time for each device.

   MO:  Matching Operator.  An operator used to match a value contained
      in a header field with a value contained in a Rule.

   RuleID:  Rule Identifier.  An identifier for a Rule.  SCHC C/D on
      both sides share the same RuleID for a given packet.  A set of
      RuleIDs are used to support SCHC F/R functionality.

   TV:  Target Value.  A value contained in a Rule that will be matched
      with the value of a header field.

   Up:  Uplink direction for compression/decompression, from the Dev
      SCHC C/D to the network SCHC C/D.

4.  SCHC Rules

   SCHC compression is generic; the main mechanism does not refer to a
   specific protocol.  Any header field is abstracted through a Field
   Identifier (FID), a position (FP), a direction (DI), and a value that
   can be a numerical value or a string.  [RFC8724] and [RFC8824]
   specify fields for IPv6 [RFC8200], UDP [RFC0768], and CoAP [RFC7252],
   including options defined for no server response [RFC7967] and Object
   Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE) [RFC8613].
   For the latter, [RFC8824] splits this field into subfields.

   SCHC fragmentation requires a set of common parameters that are
   included in a rule. Rule.  These parameters are defined in [RFC8724].

   The YANG data model enables the compression and the fragmentation
   selection using the feature statement.

4.1.  Compression Rules

   [RFC8724] proposes an informal representation of the compression
   rule.
   Rule.  A compression context for a device is composed of a set of
   rules.
   Rules.  Each rule Rule contains information to describe a specific field
   in the header to be compressed.

     +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
     |                      Rule N                                     |
    +-----------------------------------------------------------------+|
    |                    Rule i                                       ||
   +-----------------------------------------------------------------+||
   |  (FID)            Rule 1                                        |||
   |+-------+--+--+--+------------+-----------------+---------------+|||
   ||Field 1|FL|FP|DI|Target Value|Matching Operator|Comp/Decomp Act||||
   |+-------+--+--+--+------------+-----------------+---------------+|||
   ||Field 2|FL|FP|DI|Target Value|Matching Operator|Comp/Decomp Act||||
   |+-------+--+--+--+------------+-----------------+---------------+|||
   ||...    |..|..|..|   ...      | ...             | ...           ||||
   |+-------+--+--+--+------------+-----------------+---------------+||/
   ||Field N|FL|FP|DI|Target Value|Matching Operator|Comp/Decomp Act|||
   |+-------+--+--+--+------------+-----------------+---------------+|/
   |                                                                 |
   \-----------------------------------------------------------------/

                Figure 1: Compression Decompression Context

4.2.  Identifier Generation

   Identifiers used in the SCHC YANG data model are from the identityref
   statement to ensure global uniqueness and easy augmentation if
   needed.  The principle to define a new type based on a group of
   identityref is the following:

   *  Define a main identity ending with the keyword base-type.

   *  Derive all the identities used in the data model from this base
      type.

   *  Create a typedef from this base type.

   The example below (Figure 2) shows how an identityref is created for
   Reassembly Check Sequence (RCS) algorithms used during SCHC
   fragmentation.

     identity rcs-algorithm-base-type {
       description
         "Identify which algorithm is used to compute RCS.
          The algorithm also defines the size of the RCS field.";
       reference
         "RFC 8724 SCHC: Generic Framework for Static Context Header
                   Compression and Fragmentation";
     }

     identity rcs-crc32 {
       base rcs-algorithm-base-type;
       description
         "CRC32 defined as default RCS in RFC 8724.  This RCS is
          4 bytes long.";
       reference
         "RFC 8724 SCHC: Generic Framework for Static Context Header
                   Compression and Fragmentation";
     }

     typedef rcs-algorithm-type {
       type identityref {
         base rcs-algorithm-base-type;
       }
       description
         "Define the type for RCS algorithm in rules."; Rules.";
     }

         Figure 2: Principle to Define a Type Based on identityref

4.3.  Convention for Field Identifier

   In the process of compression, the headers of the original packet are
   first parsed to create a list of fields.  This list of fields is
   matched against the rules Rules to find the appropriate rule Rule and apply
   compression.  [RFC8724] does not state how the Field ID value is
   constructed.  In examples, identification is done through a string
   indexed by the protocol name (e.g., IPv6.version, CoAP.version,
   etc.).

   The current YANG data model includes field definitions found in
   [RFC8724] and [RFC8824].

   Using the YANG data model, each field MUST be identified through a
   global YANG identityref.

   A YANG Field ID for the protocol is always derived from the fid-base-
   type.  Then, an identity for each protocol is specified using the
   naming convention fid-<<protocol name>>-base-type.  All possible
   fields for this protocol MUST derive from the protocol identity.  The
   naming convention is "fid-" followed by the protocol name and the
   field name.  If a field has to be divided into subfields, the field
   identity serves as a base.

   The full field-id definition is found in Section 6.  A type is
   defined for the IPv6 protocol, and each field is based on it.  Note
   that the Diffserv bits derive from the Traffic Class identity.

4.4.  Convention for Field Length

   The Field Length is either an integer giving the size of a field in
   bits or a specific function.  [RFC8724] defines the "var" function,
   which allows variable-length fields (whose length is expressed in
   bytes), and [RFC8824] defines the "tkl" function for managing the
   CoAP Token Length field.

   The naming convention is "fl-" followed by the function name.

   The Field Length function can be defined as an identityref, as
   described in Section 6.  Therefore, the type for the Field Length is
   a union between an integer giving the size of the length in bits and
   the identityref.

4.5.  Convention for Field Position

   The Field Position is a positive integer that gives the occurrence
   times of a specific field from the header start.  The default value
   is 1 and is incremented at each repetition.  Value 0 indicates that
   the position is not important and is not considered during the rule Rule
   selection process.

   The Field Position is a positive integer.  The type is uint8.

4.6.  Convention for Direction Indicator

   The Direction Indicator is used to tell if a field appears in both
   directions (Bi) or only uplink (Up) or Downlink (Dw).  The naming
   convention is "di" followed by the Direction Indicator name.

   The type is "di-type".

4.7.  Convention for Target Value

   The Target Value is a list of binary sequences of any length, aligned
   to the left.  In the rule, Rule, the structure will be used as a list, with
   the index as a key.  The highest index value is used to compute the
   size of the index sent in residue for the match-mapping Compression
   Decompression Action (CDA).  The index can specify several values:

   *  For equal and most significant bits (MSBs), the Target Value
      contains a single element.  Therefore, the index is set to 0.

   *  For match-mapping, the Target Value can contain several elements.
      Index values MUST start from 0 and MUST be contiguous.

   If the header field contains text, the binary sequence uses the same
   encoding.

4.8.  Convention for Matching Operator

   The Matching Operator (MO) is a function applied between a field
   value provided by the parsed header and the Target Value.  [RFC8724]
   defines 4 MOs.

   The naming convention is "mo-" followed by the MO name.

   The type is "mo-type".

4.8.1.  Matching Operator Arguments

   They are viewed as a list, built with a tv-struct (see Section 4.7).

4.9.  Convention for Compression Decompression Actions

   The Compression Decompression Action (CDA) identifies the function to
   use for compression or decompression.  [RFC8724] defines 7 CDAs.

   The naming convention is "cda-" followed by the CDA name.

4.9.1.  Compression Decompression Action Arguments

   Currently no CDA requires arguments, but some CDAs may require one or
   several arguments in the future.  They are viewed as a list of
   target-value type.

4.10.  Fragmentation Rule

   Fragmentation is optional in the data model and depends on the
   presence of the "fragmentation" feature.

   Most of the fragmentation parameters are listed in Appendix D of
   [RFC8724].

   Since fragmentation rules Rules work for a specific direction, they MUST
   contain a mandatory Direction Indicator.  The type is the same as the
   one used in compression entries, but bidirectional MUST NOT be used.

4.10.1.  Fragmentation Mode

   [RFC8724] defines 3 fragmentation modes:

   *  No ACK: This mode is unidirectional; no acknowledgment is sent
      back.

   *  ACK Always: Each fragmentation window must be explicitly
      acknowledged before going to the next.

   *  ACK on Error: A window is acknowledged only when the receiver
      detects some missing fragments.

   The type is "fragmentation-mode-type".  The naming convention is
   "fragmentation-mode-" followed by the fragmentation mode name.

4.10.2.  Fragmentation Header

   A data fragment header, starting with the RuleID, can be sent in the
   fragmentation direction.  [RFC8724] indicates that the SCHC header
   may be composed of the following (cf. Figure 3):

   *  a Datagram Tag (DTag) identifying the datagram being fragmented if
      the fragmentation applies concurrently on several datagrams.  This
      field is optional, and its length is defined by the rule. Rule.

   *  a Window (W) used in ACK-Always and ACK-on-Error modes.  In ACK-
      Always, its size is 1.  In ACK-on-Error, it depends on the rule. Rule.
      This field is not needed in No-ACK mode.

   *  a Fragment Compressed Number (FCN) indicating the fragment/tile
      position within the window.  This field is mandatory on all modes
      defined in [RFC8724], and its size is defined by the rule. Rule.

   |-- SCHC Fragment Header ----|
            |-- T --|-M-|-- N --|
   +-- ... -+- ... -+---+- ... -+--------...-------+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   | RuleID | DTag  | W |  FCN  | Fragment Payload | padding (as needed)
   +-- ... -+- ... -+---+- ... -+--------...-------+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                Figure 3: Data Fragment Header from RFC 8724

4.10.3.  Last Fragment Format

   The last fragment of a datagram is sent with a Reassembly Check
   Sequence (RCS) field to detect residual transmission errors and
   possible losses in the last window.  [RFC8724] defines a single
   algorithm based on Ethernet CRC computation.

   The naming convention is "rcs-" followed by the algorithm name.

   For ACK-on-Error mode, the All-1 fragment may just contain the RCS or
   can include a tile.  The following parameters define the behavior:

   *  all-1-data-no: The last fragment contains no data, just the RCS.

   *  all-1-data-yes: The last fragment includes a single tile and the
      RCS.

   *  all-1-data-sender-choice: The last fragment may or may not contain
      a single tile.  The receiver can detect if a tile is present.

   The naming convention is "all-1-data-" followed by the behavior
   identifier.

4.10.4.  Acknowledgment Behavior

   The acknowledgment fragment header goes in the opposite direction of
   data.  [RFC8724] defines the header, which is composed of the
   following (see Figure 4):

   *  a DTag (if present).

   *  a mandatory window, as in the data fragment.

   *  a C bit giving the status of RCS validation.  In case of failure,
      a bitmap follows, indicating the received tile.

   |--- SCHC ACK Header ----|
            |-- T --|-M-| 1 |
   +-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   | RuleID |  DTag | W |C=1| padding as needed                (success)
   +-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   +-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+------ ... ------+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   | RuleID |  DTag | W |C=0|Compressed Bitmap| pad. as needed (failure)
   +-- ... -+- ... -+---+---+------ ... ------+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

           Figure 4: Acknowledgment Fragment Header for RFC 8724

   For ACK-on-Error, SCHC defines when an acknowledgment can be sent.
   This can be at any time defined by the Layer 2, at the end of a
   window (FCN all-0), or as a response to receiving the last fragment
   (FCN all-1).  The naming convention is "ack-behavior" followed by the
   algorithm name.

4.10.5.  Timer Values

   The state machine requires some common values to handle fragmentation
   correctly.

   *  The Retransmission Timer gives the duration before sending an ACK
      request (cf. Section 8.2.2.4 of [RFC8724]).  If specified, the
      value MUST be strictly positive.

   *  The Inactivity Timer gives the duration before aborting a
      fragmentation session (cf.  Section 8.2.2.4 of [RFC8724]).  The
      value 0 explicitly indicates that this timer is disabled.

   [RFC8724] does not specify any range for these timers.  [RFC9011]
   recommends a duration of 12 hours.  In fact, the value range should
   be between milliseconds for real time real-time systems to several days. days for
   worse-than-best-effort systems.  To allow a large range of
   applications, two parameters must be specified:

   *  the duration of a tick.  It is computed by this formula: 2^(tick-
      duration)/10^6.  When tick-duration is set to 0, the unit is the
      microsecond.  The default value of 20 leads to a unit of 1.048575
      seconds.  A value of 32 leads to a tick-duration of about 1 hour
      11 minutes.

   *  the number of ticks in the predefined unit.  With the default
      tick-duration value of 20, the timers can cover a range between
      1.0 second and 19 hours, covering the recommendation as recommended in [RFC9011].

4.10.6.  Fragmentation Parameter

   The SCHC fragmentation protocol specifies the number of attempts
   before aborting through the parameter:

   *  max-ack-requests (cf. Section 8.2.2.4 of [RFC8724])

4.10.7.  Layer 2 Parameters

   The data model includes two parameters needed for fragmentation:

   *  l2-word-size: [RFC8724] base fragmentation, in bits, on a Layer 2
      Word that can be of any length.  The default value is 8 and
      corresponds to the default value for the byte-aligned Layer 2.  A
      value of 1 will indicate that there is no alignment and no need
      for padding.

   *  maximum-packet-size: defines the maximum size of an uncompressed
      datagram.  By default, the value is set to 1280 bytes.

   They are defined as unsigned integers; see Section 6.

5.  Rule Definition

   A rule Rule is identified by a unique Rule Identifier (RuleID) comprising
   both a RuleID value and a RuleID length.  The YANG grouping rule-id-
   type defines the structure used to represent a RuleID.  A length of 0
   is allowed to represent an implicit rule. Rule.

   Three natures of rules Rules are defined in [RFC8724]:

   *  Compression: A compression rule Rule is associated with the RuleID.

   *  No compression:  No-compression: This identifies the default rule Rule used to send a
      packet integrally when no compression rule no-compression Rule was found (see
      Section 6 of [RFC8724]).

   *  Fragmentation: Fragmentation parameters are associated with the
      RuleID.  Fragmentation is optional, and the feature
      "fragmentation" should be set.

   The YANG data model respectively introduces these three identities :

   *  nature-compression

   *  nature-no-compression

   *  nature-fragmentation

   The naming convention is "nature-" followed by the nature identifier.

   To access a specific rule, Rule, the RuleID length and value are used as a
   key.  The rule Rule is either a compression or a fragmentation rule. Rule.

5.1.  Compression Rule

   A compression rule Rule is composed of entries describing its processing.
   An entry contains all the information defined in Figure 1 with the
   types defined above.

   The compression rule Rule described Figure 1 is defined by compression-
   content.  It defines a list of compression-rule-entry, indexed by
   their Field ID, position, and direction.  The compression-rule-entry
   element represents a line in Figure 1.  Their type reflects the
   identifier types defined in Section 4.1.

   Some checks are performed on the values:

   *  The  When MO is ignore, no Target Value is needed; for other MOs, there
      MUST be present for MO different from ignore. a Target Value present.

   *  When MSB MO is specified, the matching-operator-value must be
      present.

5.2.  Fragmentation Rule

   A fragmentation rule Rule is composed of entries describing the protocol
   behavior.  Some on them are numerical entries, others are identifiers
   defined in Section 4.10.

7.2.  YANG Module Name Registration

   IANA has registered the following YANG module data model in the "YANG Module
   Names" registry [RFC6020].

   name:  ietf-schc
   namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-schc
   prefix:  schc
   reference:  RFC 9363

8.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
   that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  The lowest NETCONF layer
   is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
   transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242].  The lowest RESTCONF layer
   is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
   [RFC8446].

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
   provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or
   RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or
   RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

   This

   There are a number of data model formalizes the rules elements described in [RFC8724]
   for compression and fragmentation.  As explained nodes defined in this YANG module that are
   writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the architecture
   document [LPWAN-ARCH], a rule can
   default).  These data nodes may be read, created, updated, considered sensitive or
   deleted vulnerable
   in response some network environments.  Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
   to a management request.  These actions these data nodes without proper protection can be
   done between two instances of SCHC or between have a SCHC instance negative
   effect on network operations.  These are the subtrees and a
   rule repository.

                        create
             (-------)  read   +=======+ *
             ( rules )<------->|Rule   |<--|-------->
             (-------)  update |Manager|   NETCONF, RESTCONF,...
                . read  delete +=======+   request
                .
             +-------+
         <===| R & D |<===
         ===>| C & F |===>
             +-------+

                                  Figure 7 data nodes
   and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /schc:  All the data nodes may be modified.  The rule Rule contains
      sensitive information information, such as the application IPv6 address where
      the device's data will be sent after decompression.  A
   device  An attacker
      may try to modify other devices' rules Rules by changing the application
      address and may block communication or allows traffic
      eavesdropping.  Therefore, a device must be allowed to modify only
      its own rules on the remote SCHC instance.  The identity of the
      requester must be validated.  This can be done through
      certificates or access lists.  Modification may be allowed
      regarding the Field Descriptor (i.e., IPv6 addresses field
      descriptors should not be modified, but UDP dev port could be
      changed).

   Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
   notification) to these data nodes.  These are the subtrees and data
   nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /schc:  By reading a module, an attacker may know learn the traffic
      generated by a device can generate and can also learn about application
      addresses or REST API.

   The full tree is sensitive, since it represents all the elements that
   can be managed.  This module aims to be encapsulated into a YANG
   module including access controls and identities.
