This document defines the YANG data model for Power and Energy   monitoring of devices within or connected to communication networks.

   Recognizing the urgent need for energy efficiency, this document   specifies a management framework focused on networks, devices and   device components within, or connected to, interconnected systems.   The framework aims to enable energy usage optimization, based on the   network condition while achieving the network's functional and   performance requirements (e.g., improving overall network   utilization) and also ensure interoperability across diverse systems.   Leveraging data from existing use cases, it delivers actionable   metrics to support effective energy management and informed decision-   making.  Furthermore, the framework defines mechanisms for   representing and organizing timestamped telemetry data using YANG   data models and metadata, enabling transparent and reliable   monitoring.  This structured approach facilitates improved energy   efficiency through consistent energy management practices.

This document defines a YANG data model for managing software-based   entitlements (licenses, authorization tokens, pay-as-you-go service   credentials…) within a network inventory.  The model represents the   relationship between organizational entitlements, network element   capabilities, and the constraints that entitlements impose on   capability usage.   This data model enables operators to determine what capabilities   their network elements possess, which capabilities are currently   entitled for use, and what restrictions apply.  The model supports   both centralized entitlement management and device-local entitlement   tracking for physical and virtual network elements.

 Energy-efficient network management is primarily meant to enhance   conventional network management with energy-related management   capabilities that optimize overall network energy consumption.  To   that aim, specific features and capabilities are required to control   (and thus optimize) the energy use of involved network elements and   their components.   This document defines a set of key terms used within the IETF when   discussing energy efficiency in network management.  Such reference   document helps framing discussion and agreeing upon a set of main   concepts in this area.

 This document groups use cases for Energy Efficiency Management of network devices.

Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) is a medium access control method for the RS-485 physical layer and is used primarily in building automation networks. This specification defines the frame format for transmission of IPv6 packets and the method of forming link-local and statelessly autoconfigured IPv6 addresses on MS/TP networks.

The document describes the frame format for transmission of IPv6 packets and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses and statelessly autoconfigured addresses on IEEE 802.15.4 networks. Additional specifications include a simple header compression scheme using shared context and provisions for packet delivery in IEEE 802.15.4 meshes.

The document defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular it defines objects for managing IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) [RFC4944].

This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.
