Description:

This YANG module augments the configuration and operational state
data for interfaces for the MAC Privacy project: Std 802.1AE; see
that standard and its amendments for full legal notices.

A MAC Privacy protection Entity (PrY) is a protocol shim in an
interface stack that encapsulates user data frames in MAC Privacy
protection Data Units (MPPDUs). Once those MPPDUs are
confidentiality protected by MACsec, the ability of potential
adversaries to draw conclusions from the source and destination
MAC addresses, sizes, and transmission timing and frequency of
user data frames is reduced or eliminated.

Each PrY in a system and its managed objects augments its upper
interface (Private Port), which provides a privacy protected
service to its user, typically a Bridge Port (IEEE Std 802.1Q) or
an end station protocol stack. Object names can be conveniently
pronounced by rendering Pry as Privacy.
