Applying Attachmet Circuit and PE2PE YANG Data Model to dynamic policies Use Case
This document explores how existing IETF YANG data models can be
applied to support a use case involving dynamic, time-scoped UCMP
(Unequal Cost Multipath) policy enforcement across multiple network
segments interconnecting Edge Cloud sites. The use case is motivated
by periodic, high-volume data exchanges between distributed AI
inference modules placed at geographically dispersed edge data
centers. By mapping network requirements such as bandwidth, latency,
and availability to relevant YANG models, including AC, TE Topology,
SR Policy, and QoS models, this document serves as a practical
exercise to evaluate the applicability and limitations of current
IETF specifications. It highlights the need for cloud-initiated,
time-bounded network policy activation and identifies potential gaps
in model expressiveness, policy lifecycle handling, and API-level
abstraction required for real-time cloud-network coordination.
