Introduction This document defines two YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules to support the configuration of UDP clients and UDP servers [RFC768], either as standalone or in conjunction with configuration of other layers. 2. The "ietf-udp-client" Module The "ietf-udp-client" YANG module defines the "udp-client-grouping" grouping for configuring UDP clients with remote server information. 2.1. The "udp-client-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the tree structure of the "udp-client-grouping" grouping: Huang Feng, et al. Expires 5 January 2025 [Page 2] Internet-Draft udp-client-server-grouping July 2024 module: ietf-udp-client grouping udp-client-grouping: +-- remote-address inet:host +-- remote-port? inet:port-number +-- local-address? inet:ip-address {local-binding-supported}? +-- local-port? inet:port-number {local-binding-supported}? 2.2.

The "ietf-udp-server" Module The "ietf-udp-server" YANG module defines the "udp-server-grouping" grouping for configuring UDP servers. 3.1. The "udp-server-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the structure of "udp-server-grouping" grouping: Huang Feng, et al. Expires 5 January 2025 [Page 5] Internet-Draft udp-client-server-grouping July 2024 module: ietf-udp-server grouping udp-server-grouping: +-- local-bind* [local-address] +-- local-address inet:ip-address +-- local-port? inet:port-number 3.2. Example Usage This section presents two examples of usage of the "udp-server- grouping" grouping. This example shows an example of a server configured for listening to a IPv4 address: 192.0.2.2 49152 This example shows an example of a server configured to listen to an IPv4 and IPv6 together: 192.0.2.2 49152 2001:db8::0 49153 3.3.

Security Considerations This section uses the template described in Section 3.7 of [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis]. Huang Feng, et al. Expires 5 January 2025 [Page 8] Internet-Draft udp-client-server-grouping July 2024 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]. These network management protocols are required to use a secure transport layer and mutual authentication, e.g., SSH [RFC6242] without the "none" authentication option, Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC8446] with mutual X.509 authentication, and HTTPS with HTTP authentication (Section 11 of [RFC9110]). 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. The YANG module defines a set of identities, types, and groupings. These nodes are intended to be reused by other YANG modules. The module by itself does not expose any data nodes that are writable, data nodes that contain read-only state, or RPCs. As such, there are no additional security issues related to the YANG module that need to be considered. Modules that use the groupings that are defined in this document should identify the corresponding security considerations. For example, reusing some of these groupings will expose privacy-related information (e.g., 'node-example'). 5. IANA Considerations This document describes the URIs from IETF XML Registry and the registration of a two new YANG module names 5.1. URI IANA is requested to assign two new URIs from the IETF XML Registry [RFC3688]. The following two URIs are suggested: URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-client Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-server Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. Huang Feng, et al. Expires 5 January 2025 [Page 9] Internet-Draft udp-client-server-grouping July 2024 5.2. YANG module name This document also requests IANA to register the following YANG modules in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry group: name: ietf-udp-client namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-client prefix: udpc maintained by IANA? N reference: RFC-to-be name: ietf-udp-server namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-server prefix: udps maintained by IANA? N reference: RFC-to-be 6.
