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 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 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 using the YANG data model.
This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] to represent both compression and fragmentation Rules, which leads to common representation for values for all the 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 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 or Field ID. This identifies the protocol and
field a Field 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 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. 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. A compression context for a device is composed of a set of Rules. Each 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.";
}
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 to find the appropriate 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 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, 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 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.
- 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.
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.
|-- 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 systems to several 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, 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 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.
Three natures of Rules are defined in [RFC8724]:
- Compression: A compression Rule is associated with the RuleID.
- No-compression: This identifies the default Rule used to send a
packet integrally when 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, the RuleID length and value are used as a key. The Rule is either a compression or a fragmentation Rule.
5.1. Compression Rule
A compression 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 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:
- When MO is ignore, no Target Value is needed; for other MOs, there
MUST be a Target Value present.
- When MSB MO is specified, the matching-operator-value must be
present.
5.2. Fragmentation Rule
A fragmentation Rule is composed of entries describing the protocol behavior. Some on them are numerical entries, others are identifiers defined in Section 4.10.
5.3. YANG Tree
The YANG data model described in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].

Figure 6: SCHC YANG Data Model
7. IANA Considerations
This document registers one URI and one YANG data model.
7.1. URI Registration
IANA registered the following URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-schc Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
7.2. YANG Module Name Registration
IANA has registered the following YANG 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.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
/schc: All the data nodes may be modified. The Rule contains
sensitive information, such as the application IPv6 address where
the device's data will be sent after decompression. An attacker
may try to modify other devices' 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 learn the traffic
generated by a device and can also learn about application
addresses or REST API.
