| Internet-Draft | DTNMA ADM YANG | July 2026 |
| Birrane, et al. | Expires 21 January 2027 | [Page] |
This document defines a concrete syntax for encoding a Delay-Tolerant Networking Management Architecture (DTNMA) Application Data Model (ADM) using the syntax and modular structure, but not the full data model, of YANG. Extensions to YANG are defined to capture the specifics needed to define DTNMA Application Management Model (AMM) objects and to use the Application Resource Identifier (ARI) data-value syntax.¶

The Delay-Tolerant Networking Management Architecture (DTNMA) of [RFC9675] defines a concept for remote management in a challenged network environment, and the Application Management Model (AMM) of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm] defines a meta-model for the structure of object types and literal-value types used in DTNMA and separates static definitions of Application Data Models (ADMs) from dynamic Operational Data Models (ODMs).¶
This document defines a text representation of an ADM using the types and structures of the AMM combined with the syntax and processing semantics of YANG modules [RFC7950], while using AMM-specific extensions for object and data modeling. With this representation, individual applications can capture their static management information in module files and make use of existing YANG processing and module-level logic (e.g., file naming, revision history, imports).¶
Because the YANG syntax and data modeling language are closely coupled, there is no pre-existing example of using YANG for its syntax (and its module infrastructure) while using different domain-specific language (DSL) of extensions for data modeling. Separating the syntax from the data modeling is similar in concept to making use of ASN.1 syntax of [X.680] without using the SMIv2 data modeling language [RFC2578], which is how unrelated things like certificate profile of X.509 [RFC5280] use ASN.1 module syntax.¶
One way of thinking of this is that the ADM modules use a syntax that has "YANG characteristics" but does not make use of all YANG tooling or infrastructure and do not interoperate with existing YANG modules or their contained data models.¶
This document defines a specific syntax for representing individual revisions of individual ADMs as text files.¶
It does not define a representation for the runtime objects and literal values modeled by an ADM or ODM. Encodings of values within the AMM are defined in the Application Resource Identifier (ARI) specification [I-D.ietf-dtn-ari]. While the Agent ADM provides an introspection capability to indicate which objects are present in an ODM, encodings of the runtime state of those objects are outside of the scope of this document.¶
It is not required that the YANG encoding be used for transmission of ADM information over the wire in the context of a network deployment. Since the AMM is designed to allow for multiple encodings, the expression of ADMs in YANG syntax is intended to support translation to other encodings without loss of information.¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].¶
The terms "Application Data Model", "Application Resource Identifier", "Operational Data Model", "Externally Defined Data", "Variable", "Constant", "Control", "Literal", "Macro", "Namespace", "Operator", "Report", "Report Template", "Rule", "State-Based Rule", "Table", and "Time-Based Rule" are used without modification from the definitions provided in [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm].¶
The terms "Comment", "Keyword", and "Module" are used without modification from the definitions provided in [RFC7950].¶
Additional terms defined in this document are as follows.¶
Some aspects of this ADM module profile restrict the allowable definitions to conform with Section 4 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm] and by doing so make YANG modules defining ADMs incompatible with YANG modules intended for NETCONF, RESTCONF, or other applications. Because of this, YANG modules defining ADMs SHALL be managed separately from the "YANG Module Names" registry of [IANA-YANG]. See the ADM registry defined in Section 9.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-ari] for registration of ADM modules. For the remainder of this document, a YANG module defining an ADM will be referred to as an "ADM module" and a YANG module for any other purpose will be referred to as an "Other Module" to differentiate it.¶
After explanation of extensions in Section 6, the following minimal ADM module will be expanded upon for further examples.¶
module example-adm {
yang-version 1.1;
namespace "ari://example/adm/";
prefix example-adm;
import ietf-amm {
prefix amm;
}
organization
"Example Org." {

An ADM module is identified, as defined in Section 4.1, by the module "namespace" having an "ari" scheme. Within an ADM module, this profile makes restrictions in Section 4.2 which are formalized in the following table of allowed module substatements. This table is adapted from Section 7.1 of [RFC7950].¶
The "yang-version" of all ADM modules conforming to this document SHALL be "1.1". Later versions of YANG syntax could introduce incompatible changes and will need to be examined for consistency with the ADM module use.¶

The benefit of using the pre-existing YANG syntax is to take advantage of both tools that process YANG modules as well as some of the syntax and module-level semantics provided by YANG.¶
The following statements and behaviors of YANG are usable within an ADM with no modification:¶
The existing module naming convention and recommendation from Section 4.1 of [RFC8407] is strengthened to a requirement for ADM modules. All ADM modules SHALL be named by concatenating from the ADM namespace reference: the organization ID, a dash "-", and the model ID.¶
Although an ADM module has no use for an XML namespace (as defined in Section 5.3 of [RFC7950]), the "namespace" statement is used to provide an explicit ARI namespace reference (see Section 3.4 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-ari]). For ADM modules, the "namespace" statement argument SHALL be the text-form ARI referencing the ADM itself.¶
For example, the ADM "example-adm" will have a namespace of ari://example/adm/ which is valid YANG but does not conform to the guidelines of Section 4.9 of [RFC8407].¶
amm:enum substatement as defined in Section 6.1.¶
status, description, and reference statements are unchanged from their definitions in Sections 7.21.2, 7.21.3, and Section 7.21.4 of [RFC7950] respectively.¶
grouping and uses statements and logic described in Section 4.2.6 of [RFC7950] is unchanged for ADM modules generally.
Because ADM modules are a flat object namespace, the utility of reuse in an ADM module is limited to the contents of object definitions as shown in Table 2.
See Section 7 for author considerations about the distinction between semantic type groupings and TYPEDEF instances.¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |
|---|---|
| amm:parameter | 0..* |
| amm:operand | 0..* |
| amm:result | 0..1 |
| One of the semantic type: | |
| amm:type | 0..1 |
| amm:ulist | 0..1 |
| amm:dlist | 0..1 |
| amm:tblt | 0..1 |
| amm:umap | 0..1 |
| amm:union | 0..1 |
| amm:seq | 0..1 |
Because of the different interpretation of data definitions for an ADM module, the following restrictions are used to limit pre-existing valid YANG syntax within an ADM module:¶
NULL type to indicate optional values and AMM values can use the null value to represent that state.
In the case of formal parameters, the use of a "default" statement is used to indicate behavior when an actual parameter is undefined.
In any case, the AMM value is always present when defined in the structure of an AMM object.
An ADM module SHALL NOT contain any "mandatory" statements.¶
As discussed in Section 4.2, the YANG type and node models are fundamentally different from the AMM value model of Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]. While YANG modules have been used to model data for XML representation for NETCONF (or equivalent representations for equivalent protocols), AMM values do not have explicit identifiers and have ARI representation.¶
Similar to how YANG treats built-in types, the AMM built-in type names are used without any namespace context.
Differently to YANG, the AMM type names are encoded in ARI syntax and compared in a case-insensitive manner.
One example of naming a built-in type UINT is below.¶
/ARITYPE/UINT¶
A TYPEDEF is a way for an ADM to apply a name and descriptive metadata to a specific semantic type (see Section 3.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]). The TYPEDEF is also a top-level ADM object, as explained in Section 3.4.2 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm] with a syntax in Section 6.4. Because they are ADM objects, they can be referenced by ARIs when necessary as in the example below.¶
//example/adm-a/TYPEDEF/mytype¶
Except for the case of a simple "type" with no restrictions or annotations, anywhere one of the semantic type statements (Section 6.2) occurs in an object definition can be considered as an "anonymous" unnamed semantic type. The behavior in those cases is identical to a TYPEDEF just without a name associated with the semantic type.¶
In order to provide syntax necessary for AMM Object instance definitions this document defines, via the DTNMA ADM (Appendix A), the following extensions for ADM modules.¶
amm:enum Statement
This statement is used to apply an integer enumeration to an ADM module, organization, or AMM object.
Integer enumeration enables the compressed form of ARI discussed in Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-ari].
The argument to this statement is an integer in the YANG range 0..2^31-1 to fit within the ARI syntax.
There are no substatements defined in this profile.¶
All well-known registered ADMs SHALL contain an amm:enum substatement within the top module statement and its organization statement.
The value in the organization enumeration SHALL agree with the registration in the "Namespace Organizations" registry of [IANA-DTNMA].¶
The statements within this section enable the various semantic type classes, as explained in Section 3.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]. They are all used as substatements within one of the AMM object definition statements, sometimes directly (e.g., for CONST or EDD typing) and sometimes indirectly (e.g., for parameter or operand typing), but always as a choice between the need for one of the semantic type statements.¶
amm:type Statement
This statement creates a Named Type Use semantic type (see Section 3.3.1 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) for its parent statement.
The argument to this statement is the text form of the ARI for the type being used, which can either be a built-in ARITYPE or a TYPEDEF object reference.¶
The substatements under this are annotations or constraints on the type being used.
The units, range, length, and pattern statements have the same syntax and semantics as defined in [RFC7950] when applied to AMM values.
For compatibility reasons, the arguments used for pattern statements SHALL be limited to the constructs compatible with I-Regexp of [RFC9485].¶
| Substatement | Cardinality | Valid for These Types |
|---|---|---|
| description | 0..1 | any |
| reference | 0..1 | any |
| Display annotations | ||
| units | 0..1 | Any NUMERIC
|
| amm:display-hint | 0..1 | any |
| amm:int-labels | 0..1 | Any INTEGER type |
| Value constraints | ||
| range | 0..1 | Any INTEGER or FLOAT, with appropriate quantized values in the argument |
| length | 0..1 | For TEXTSTR as number of characters. For BYTESTR or CBOR as number of bytes. |
| pattern | 0..1 | For TEXTSTR only |
| amm:cddl | 0..1 | For CBOR only |
| amm:base | 0..* | For IDENT only |
Examples of the "type" statement are below, some as simple use and some as restriction.¶
amm:type "/aritype/uint" {
description
"unconstrained";
}
amm:type "/aritype/uint" {
description
"constrained number";
units "meter";
range "3..10";
}
amm:type "/aritype/textstr" {
description
"constrained text size";
length "10..100";
}
¶
amm:display-hint Statement
This statement provides general purpose tailoring of how AMM values are intended to be displayed.
The argument to this statement is the text form of the ARI referencing an IDENT object derived from the root ari://ietf-amm/IDENT/display-hint object.¶
The description of any leaf IDENT derived from this root object SHALL contain specific requirements for how the display hint affects text form of any associated values, including restrictions on which built-in types the hint can be used with.¶
amm:int-labels Statement
This statement provides human-friendly labels for enumerated values or bit positions within an integer type. There is no argument to this statement.¶
The substatements under this are either "enum" or "bit" statements from YANG, each of which define a single value or bit name within the type. A single "amm:int-labels" SHALL NOT use a mix of "enum" and "bit" substatements as this would result in ambiguous interpretation. When present, each "enum" statement SHALL contain an explicit and unique "value" substatement. When present, each "bit" statement SHALL contain an explicit and unique "position" substatement.¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |
|---|---|
| enum | 0..n |
| bit | 0..n |
amm:cddl Statement
This statement provides annotation of allowed content within a CBOR type byte string in the form of a Concise Data Definition Language (CDDL) fragment.
The argument to this statement is a CDDL fragment in accordance with [RFC8610], escaped as necessary to conform to the YANG syntax.¶
There are no substatements within this statement.¶
amm:base Statement
This statement constrains an IDENT (Section 6.5) object reference to allow only objects with a particular base themselves. The argument to this statement is the text form of the ARI referencing the required base object.¶
There are no substatements within this statement.¶
amm:ulist Statement
This statement creates a Uniform List semantic type (see Section 3.3.2 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) for its parent statement. There is no argument to this statement.¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |
|---|---|
| description | 0..1 |
| reference | 0..1 |
| min-elements | 0..1 |
| max-elements | 0..1 |
| uses | 0..1 |

| amm:ulist | 0..1 |
| amm:dlist | 0..1 |
| amm:umap | 0..1 |
| amm:union | 0..1 |
Examples of the "amm:ulist" statement are below, some as simple use and some as restriction.¶
amm:ulist {
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
}
amm:ulist {
amm:type "/aritype/uint" {
range "3..10";
units "meter";
}
min-elements 2;
max-elements 10;
}
¶
amm:dlist Statement
This statement creates a Diverse List semantic type (see Section 3.3.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) for its parent statement. There is no argument to this statement.¶
Each of the type use substatements defines a single element within the AC, except for the amm:seq which defines a sequence of type-matching elements within the AC (rather than as a sub-AC).¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |
|---|---|
| description | 0..1 |
| reference | 0..1 |
| One or more of the semantic type: | |
| amm:type | 0..n |
| amm:ulist | 0..n |
| amm:dlist | 0..n |
| amm:umap | 0..n |
| amm:union | 0..n |
| amm:seq | 0..n |
Examples of the "amm:dlist" statement are below, one as simple structure and the other as a complex sequence.¶
amm:dlist {
// each "type" substatement is one element of the AC
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
}
amm:dlist {
// first AC element is text
amm:type "/aritype/textstr";
// remaining 2-10 element are int
amm:seq {
amm:type "/aritype/int";
min-elements 2;
max-elements 10;
}
}
¶
amm:umap Statement
This statement creates a Uniform Map semantic type (see Section 3.3.4 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) for its parent statement. There is no argument to this statement.¶
When present, each of the amm:keys and amm:values substatements constrains the associated aspect of all map items to the specific type; when absent the aspect is left unconstrained.
Keep in mind that AM keys are always constrained to untyped literal values and the use of amm:keys can only narrow this constraint.¶

"Map uint to text values.";
amm:keys {
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
}
amm:values {
amm:type "/aritype/textstr";
}
}
¶
amm:tblt Statement
This statement creates a Table Template semantic type (see Section 3.3.5 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) for its parent statement. There is no argument to this statement.¶
The substatements are a combination of "amm:column" statements defining table structure and "amm:key", "amm:unique", "min-elements", "max-elements" statements defining constraints on the table rows.¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |
|---|---|
| description | 0..1 |

Examples of the "amm:tblt" statement are below.¶
amm:tblt {
amm:column first {
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
}
amm:column second {
amm:type "/aritype/textstr";
}
amm:key "first";
}
¶
amm:column Statement
This statement defines the name and type of each column of a table. The argument to this statement is an identifier for the column. All columns SHALL have unique names within the same parent table.¶
The primary substatement under this are one of the semantic type statements (Section 6.2) which defines the type for values in this column. If present, any "if-feature" substatement within a column indicates that an Agent which does not implement the named feature(s) will: always use the undefined value in this column when producing tables associated with the parent template and/or always ignore (but not modify) given values in this column when processing these tables.¶

| amm:dlist | 0..1 |
| amm:umap | 0..1 |
| amm:union | 0..1 |
amm:union Statement
This statement creates a Type Union [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm] semantic type for its parent statement. There is no argument to this statement.¶
Each of the substatements defines one of the possible choices of the union. The order of the list of choices is significant, especially when converting ARI values, because the first choice which matches or converts will be used regardless of any other choices.¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |

amm:union {
amm:type "/aritype/uint" {
range "3..10";
units "meter";
}
amm:type "/aritype/textstr";
}
¶
amm:seq Statement
This statement creates a Sequence semantic type (see Section 3.3.7 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) for its parent statement. There is no argument to this statement.¶
This statement is distinct from the "amm:ulist" statement, which types the AC container itself, while the "amm:seq" types a portion of elements within an AC. The "amm:seq" is not present as a top-level value type except for the special case of a greedy capturing parameter type.¶

amm:seq {
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
min-elements 1;
}
}
¶
amm:parameter Statement
This statement is used to define one formal parameter that apply to the parent object. The argument to this statement is an identifier for the parameter. All parameters SHALL have unique names within the same parent object.¶
The substatements under this are one of the semantic type statements (Section 6.2) which defines the type of the parameter. When the "amm:seq" statement is used to type a formal parameter, it SHALL be the last parameter in the list and represents a greedy matching of that an all subsequent given parameters.¶

amm:parameter first {
amm:type "/aritype/uint" {
range "3..10";
}
}
amm:parameter second {
amm:type "/aritype/textstr";
amm:default "\"value\"";
}
amm:parameter third {
amm:ulist {
amm:type "/aritype/uint";
}
amm:default "/AC/(3,5,8)"
}
¶
amm:default Statement
This statement is used to define default parameter as an AMM value. The argument to this statement is the text form of the ARI for the default value.¶
The default value is used in the Parameter Handling procedure (see Section 6.4 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) to normalize given parameters into actual parameters.¶
amm:typedef Statement
This statement is used to define a Semantic Type (TYPEDEF) object (see Section 3.4.2 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]). The argument to this statement is the name of the object instance.¶
The substatements under this are a choice of a top-level semantic type (see Section 6.2) being named by the typedef.¶

amm:ident Statement
This statement is used to define an Identity (IDENT) object (see Section 3.4.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]). The argument to this statement is the name of the object instance.¶
The substatements under this are the common object metadata, optional formal parameters, and any number of base IDENT objects from which this one is derived.¶

amm:abstract Statement
This statement causes the parent IDENT (Section 6.5) object to be explicitly marked as abstract or not, as defined in Section 3.4.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]. The argument to this statement is a boolean ("true" or "false") value in accordance with Section 9.5 of [RFC7950]. If not present, the default marking of the IDENT object is not-abstract.¶
There are no substatements within this statement.¶
amm:base Statement
This statement causes the parent IDENT (Section 6.5) object to be derived from a referenced base object. The argument to this statement is the text form of the ARI referencing the required base object.¶
Similar to YANG logic, in the AMM derivation of an IDENT from a base has the following properties.¶
There are no substatements within this statement.¶
amm:const Statement
This statement is used to define a Constant (CONST) object (see Section 3.4.5 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]). The argument to this statement is the name of the object instance.¶
The substatements under this are the common object metadata, optional formal parameters, and one of the semantic type statements (Section 6.2) that represents the produced value of the CONST.
The amm:const statement SHALL contain a an amm:init-value, which is the constant represented by this object.¶
| Substatement | Cardinality |
|---|---|
| if-feature | 0..1 |
| amm:enum | 0..1 |
| amm:parameter | 0..n |
| status | 0..1 |

amm:type "//ietf-amm/typedef/mac";
amm:init-value "/AC/(../CTRL/first,../CTRL/second(2))";
description
"Execute two controls in sequence.";
}
¶
amm:ctrl Statement
This statement is used to define a Control (CTRL) object (see Section 3.4.6 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]). The argument to this statement is the name of the object instance.¶
The substatements under this are the common object metadata, optional formal parameters, and an optional execution result.
If the amm:result substatement is present it SHALL be used to constrain Result Storage for the execution procedure (see Section 6.6 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]).
If the amm:result substatement is omitted the assumed result type SHALL be NULL with a default value of null.
Regardless of the presence or type indicated by an amm:result substatement, the failure to execute any control always results in an undefined result value.¶

The initializer is used as part of the Agent Initialization procedure, (see Section 6.1 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm]) and when new VAR objects are defined in an ODM.¶
All of the logical design considerations from Section 7 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-amm] apply to authors of ADM modules when considering the naming and behaviors of AMM object instances.¶
All of the lifecycle considerations for YANG modules from [RFC8407] apply to those statements reused for ADM modules as defined in Section 4.1. Specifically the guidance from Section 4.17 of [RFC8407] regarding feature use and scoping.¶
Although this specification allows semantic type statements to be included in a grouping statement, it is RECOMMENDED that ADM authors make use of named TYPEDEF (Section 6.4) object where possible.¶
This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) regarding registration of schema and namespaces related to core ADMs, in accordance with BCP 26 [RFC8126].¶
This document relies on existing ARI-defined registries defined in [IANA-DTNMA] by Section 9.3 of [I-D.ietf-dtn-ari].¶
This document defines the following entries within the "DTNMA IETF Data Models" registry of the "DTN Management Architecture" registry group [IANA-DTNMA]. All of the ADMs in this registry are under the "ietf" organization (enumeration 1).¶
| Enumeration | Name | Reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | amm | [This document] | Definition of YANG extensions for the AMM itself. |
| 1 | dtnma-agent | [This document] | DTNMA Agent introspection objects. |
| 2 | dtnma-agent-acl | [This document] | DTNMA Agent access control. |
| 24 | amm-semtype | [This document] | AMM-defined semantic type representation. |
| 25 | amm-base | [This document] | AMM-defined type unions and other definitions. |
| 26 | network-base | [This document] | General purpose and abstract network-related objects. |
This document defines the following entries within the "DTNMA IANA Data Models" registry of the "DTN Management Architecture" registry group [IANA-DTNMA]. All of the ADMs in this registry are under the "iana" organization (enumeration 2).¶
| Enumeration | Name | Reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | display-hints | [This document] | Registry of well-known display hints. |
This document defines a syntax for encoding DTNMA ADMs within a text file, and for interpreting extensions to the YANG language to support modeling of AMM objects and ARI values. It does not address what the contents of those ADMs are or any security considerations associated with the data models themselves.¶
The ADM module in this section implements base extensions to YANG in support of the AMM. This includes the following:¶

This section is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.¶
[NOTE to the RFC Editor: please remove this section before publication, as well as the reference to [RFC7942], [github-dtnma-ace], and [github-dtnma-adms].]¶
This section records the status of known implementations of the protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942]. The description of implementations in this section is intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations can exist.¶
A full implementation in Python language of the ADM module encoding and decoding, and for translating between ARI text name and integer enumeration (based on ADM contents) is present in the source repository [github-dtnma-ace]. This repository includes unit test vectors for verifying ADM module encoding and decoding and is used as the basis of ADM syntax checking and formatting tools in the ADM modules in this document.¶
The ADM modules present in Appendix A through D are version controlled in their original form in the repository [github-dtnma-adms].¶
An implementation of the models themselves is part of the C11 language REFDA library managed under the source repository [github-dtnma-tools]. This project has built-item (executable) testing which exercises the AMM-level interface of the REFDA through sending specific EXECSET values and observing subsequent RPTSET values as well as daemon log events.¶
The following participants contributed technical material, use cases, and useful thoughts on the overall approach captured in this document: David Linko, Sarah Heiner, and Jenny Cao of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.¶
