      <name>Introduction</name>
      <t>This document defines three YANG 1.1 <xref target="RFC7950"/> modules
        to support the configuration of TCP clients and TCP servers (TCP is
        defined in <xref target="RFC9293"/>), either as standalone or in
          conjunction with configuration of other stack protocol layers.</t>
      <t>The modules focus on three different types of base TCP parameters that matter
        for TCP-based applications: First, the modules cover fundamental configuration of a
        TCP client or TCP server application, such as addresses and port numbers. Second, a
        reusable grouping enables modification of application-specific parameters for a TCP
        connections, such as use of TCP keep-alives. And third, client configuration for
        traversing proxies is included as well. In each case, the modules have a very narrow
        scope and focus on a minimum set of required parameters.</t>
      <t>Please be advised that while this document presents support for some TCP
        proxy techniques, there are other TCP proxy techniques that are not part
        of this document, document but could be added by augmenting the YANG module.</t>
      <section anchor="collective-effort">
        <name>Relation to other Other RFCs</name>
        <t>This document presents one or more three YANG modules <xref target="RFC7950"/>
            that are part of a collection of RFCs that work together
            to, ultimately,
            to ultimately support the configuration of both the clients
            and servers of both the NETCONF Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) <xref target="RFC6241"/> and
            RESTCONF <xref target="RFC8040"/> protocols.</t> target="RFC8040"/>.</t>
        <t> The dependency relationship between the primary YANG groupings
            defined in the various RFCs is presented in the below diagram.
            In some cases, a draft document may define secondary groupings that
            introduce dependencies not illustrated in the diagram.
            The labels in the diagram are a shorthand name names for the defining
            RFC.
            RFCs.  The citation reference references for shorthand name is names are provided below
            the diagram.</t>
        <t>Please note that the arrows in the diagram point from referencer
            to referenced.  For example, the "crypto-types" RFC does not
            have any dependencies, whilst the "keystore" RFC depends on the
            "crypto-types" RFC.</t>

          <name>Guidelines for Configuring TCP Keep-Alives</name>
          <t>Network stacks may include "keep-alives" keep-alives in their TCP implementations,
          although this practice is not universally implemented. If keep-alives are
            included, <xref target="RFC9293"/> mandates that the application MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be
            able to turn them on or off for each TCP connection, connection and that they MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14>
            default to off.</t>
          <t>Keep-alive mechanisms exist in many protocols. Depending on the protocol
            stack, TCP keep-alives may only be one out of several alternatives.  Which
            mechanism(s) to use depends on the use case and application requirements. If
            keep-alives are needed by an application, it is RECOMMENDED <bcp14>RECOMMENDED</bcp14> that the
            liveness check happens only at the protocol layers that are meaningful
            to the application.</t>
          <t>A TCP keep-alive mechanism SHOULD <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> only be invoked in server applications
            that might otherwise hang indefinitely and consume resources unnecessarily
            if a client crashes or aborts a connection during a network failure <xref target="RFC9293"/>.
            TCP keep-alives may consume significant resources both in the network and
            in endpoints (e.g., battery power).  In addition, frequent keep-alives
            risk network congestion. The higher the frequency of keep-alives, the
            higher the overhead.</t>
          <t>
            Given the cost of keep-alives, parameters have to be configured carefully:
          </t>
          <ul spacing="normal">
            <li>The default idle interval (leaf "idle-time") is two hours, i.e.,
                7200 seconds <xref target="RFC9293"/>.  A lower value MAY <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> be
                configured, but idle intervals SHOULD NOT <bcp14>SHOULD NOT</bcp14> be smaller than 15
                seconds. Longer idle intervals SHOULD <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> be used when possible.</li>
            <li>The maximum number of sequential keep-alive probes that can fail
                (leaf "max-probes") trades off responsiveness and robustness against
                packet loss. ACK segments that contain no data are not reliably
                transmitted by TCP. Consequently, if a keep-alive mechanism is
                implemented
                implemented, it MUST NOT <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> interpret failure to respond to any
                specific probe as a dead connection <xref target="RFC9293"/>.
                Typically, a single-digit number should suffice.</li>
            <li>TCP implementations may include a parameter for the number of
                seconds between TCP keep-alive probes (leaf "probe-interval"). In
                order to avoid congestion, the time interval between probes MUST NOT <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14>
                be smaller than one second. Significantly longer intervals SHOULD <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> be
                used. It is important to note that keep-alive probes (or replies)
                can get dropped due to network congestion. Sending further probe
                messages into a congested path after a short interval, without
                backing off timers, could cause harm and result in a congestion
                collapse.  Therefore  Therefore, it is essential to pick a large, conservative
                value for this interval.</li>

                TCP client supports Socks4a-based proxies.  The difference
                between Socks4 and Socks4a is that Socks4a enables the

      <name>Security Considerations</name>
      <t>The three YANG modules in this document define groupings and will
        not be deployed as standalone modules. Their security implications
        may be context dependent context-dependent based on their use in other modules.  The
        designers of modules which that import these grouping groupings must conduct their
        own analysis of the security considerations.</t>

                  sensitive to read operations such that, in normal use cases,
                  it should never be returned to a client.  For this reason, the

              <t>YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications Model for network management protocols. This document describes the syntax and semantics of version 1.1 of the YANG language. YANG version 1.1 is a maintenance release of the YANG language, addressing ambiguities and defects in the original specification. There are a small number of backward incompatibilities from YANG version 1. This document also specifies the YANG mappings to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF).</t>

            <abstract>
              <t>This document specifies the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP is an important transport-layer protocol in the Internet protocol stack, and it has continuously evolved over decades of use and growth of the Internet. Over this time, a number of changes have been made to TCP as it was specified in RFC 793, though these have only been documented in a piecemeal fashion. This document collects and brings those changes together with the protocol specification from RFC 793. This document obsoletes RFC 793, as well as RFCs 879, 2873, 6093, 6429, 6528, and 6691 that updated parts of RFC 793. It updates RFCs 1011 and 1122, and it should be considered as a replacement

            <abstract>
              <t>During the last few years, awareness has been raised about a number of "blind" attacks that can be performed against the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and similar protocols. The consequences of these attacks range from throughput reduction to broken connections or data corruption. These attacks rely on the attacker's ability to guess or know the five-tuple (Protocol, Source Address, Destination Address, Source Port, Destination Port) that identifies the transport protocol instance to be attacked. This document describes a number of simple and efficient methods for the selection of the client port number, such that the possibility of an attacker guessing the exact value is reduced. While this is not a replacement for cryptographic methods
	    <title>YANG Groupings for protecting the transport-protocol instance, the aforementioned port selection algorithms provide improved security with very little effort and without any key management overhead. The algorithms described in this document are local policies that may be incrementally deployed and that do not violate the specifications of any of the transport protocols that may benefit from them, such as TCP, UDP, UDP-lite, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), and RTP (provided that the RTP application explicitly signals the RTP and RTCP port numbers).
