 Abstract

    The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable
    transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet
    network such as IP, designed to transport PSTN signaling messages
    over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader
    applications.

    This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
    describes the minimum amount of objects needed to manage the
    implementation of the SCTP.

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

 1. Introduction

    This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
    describes managed objects for implementations of the SCTP.

    The document starts with a brief description of the SNMP framework
    and continues with the MIB explanation and security consideration
    among others.

    The managed objects in this MIB module have been based on RFC 2012:
    "SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control
    Protocol using SMIv2" [RFC 2012] and "IP Version 6 Management
    Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol" [RFC 2452].

    Terms related to the SCTP architecture are explained in [1]. Other
    specific abbreviations are listed below.

    The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
    "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
    document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

 2. The SNMP Framework

    The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
    components:

       -  An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [SNMPArch].

 Pastor, Belinchon                                               [Page 3]

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

       -  Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
          purpose of management.  The first version of this Structure of
          Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
          RFC 1155 [SMIv1], RFC 1212 [SNMPv1MIBDef] and RFC 1215
          [SNMPv1Traps].  The second version, called SMIv2, is described
          in RFC 1902 [SMIv2], RFC 1903 [SNMPv2TC] and RFC 1904
          [SNMPv2Conf].

       -  Message protocols for transferring management information.  The
          first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 nd
          described in RFC 1157 [SNMPv1].  A second version of the SNMP
          message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
          protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [SNMPv2c]
          and RFC 1906 [SNMPv2TM].  The third version of the message
          protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [SNMPv2TM],
          RFC 2272 [SNMPv3MP] and RFC 2574 [SNMPv3USM].

       -  Protocol operations for accessing management information.  The
          first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
          described in RFC 1157 [SNMPv1].  A second set of protocol
          operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
          [SNMPv2PO].

       -  A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273
          [SNMPv3App] and the view-based access control mechanism
          described in RFC 2575 [SNMPv3VACM].

    Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
    the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
    defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.  This memo specifies
    a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2.  A MIB conforming to the
    SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations.  The
    resulting translated MIB must be semantically equivalent, except
    where objects or events are omitted because no translation is
    possible (use of Counter64).  Some machine-readable information in
    SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the
    translation process.  However, this loss of machine-readable
    information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB.

 3. Structure of the MIB

    The MIB is structured in the following way:

                            sctpMib
                          /         \
              sctpObjects           sctpConformance
              /         \               /          \
      sctpScalars   sctpTables     sctpGroups   sctpCompliances
                                       |

 Pastor, Belinchon                                               [Page 4]

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

                                  sctpCompliance

    where:
       -  sctpObjects, all the SCTP objects are defined under this
          branch.

          -  sctpScalars, containing only scalars values. It can be split
             into:

             -  General variables, listing the main SCTP variables.

             -  Statistics for traffic measurements.
                -  SCTP state related statistics
                -  other statistics

          -  sctpTables, tables per association, per local and remote IP
             address and lookup tables for an easy search.

       -  sctpConformance, for the Unit of Conformance.

          -  sctpGroups, SCTP MIB variables have been grouped according
             to their function and the context they belong to (general
             variables, variables/statistics per association, variables
             per local IP address and variables/statistics per remote IP
             address).

          -  sctpCompliances, Minimal list of objects in the SCTP MIB
             module that an agent developer must implement.

 3.1  Objects

 3.1.1  Scalars

 3.1.1.1 Protocol General Variables

    The first section of the MIB contains the general variables of the
    SCTP protocol. Maximum, minimum, values by default and initial values
    are listed here.

    Based on the TCP MIB [RFC2012], SCTP RTO mechanism is defined in the
    same way. In SCTP protocol, only options 'other' and 'vanj' remain
    because SCTP protocol defines Van Jacobson's algorithm as the one to
    be used to calculate RTO. 'Other' is left for future use ('rsre'
    algorithm was eliminated because MIL-STD-1778 is Cancelled-No
    Superseding Document according to the Military Standard library and
    'constant' option doesn't fulfill the SCTP protocol description).

 3.1.1.2  Statistics for traffic Measurements

 Pastor, Belinchon                                               [Page 5]

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

    Statistics included here are related to the whole SCTP layer.
    Statistics related to a specific association, or local/remote IP
    addresses are defined inside its concerned table.

 3.1.1.2.1 State-Related Statistics

    These measures are based in the TCP model, but adapted to the SCTP
    states. They store the number of succeeded association attempts, how
    many associations have been initiated by the local or the remote SCTP
    layer, or just the number of associations terminated in a graceful
    (by means of SHUTDOWN procedure) or ungraceful way (by means of CLOSE
    procedure).

 3.1.1.2.2  Other Statistics

    There is a statistic related to the SCTP packets, i.e., the number
    of out of the blue packets received by the local host. The remainder
    statistics are based on the data unit of SCTP: the chunk. In this
    way, the whole picture of the SCTP layer is covered.

 3.1.2  MIB Tables

 3.1.2.1  Association Table

    The part of the MIB to define each association is structured
    according to an expanded table. There is a main table (called
    association table, sctpAssocTable), indexed by the association
    identification. The association identification is a value to identify
    in a unique way an association.

    The MIB does not restrict which value must be written here. It can be
    the tag value, or the TCB creation time, or any other value the
    implementor decides.

    This main table contains common information for a given association
    and two other tables inside: local IP addresses table
    (sctpAssocLocalAddressTable), and remote IP addresses table
    (sctpAssocRemAddressTable).

    Every entry is explained when defining the MIB.

    Note that the IP address indexing the tables is valid for IPv4, IPv6
    and DNS. Therefore, IP address is defined by the Internet address
    type and the value of the IP address, according to the Textual
    Conventions for Internet Network Address [RFC2851].

    However, DNS value is not being used to identify an IP address since
    it is only valid during initialization (once this stage is finished,
    both sides only use IP addresses). To keep the name of the remote
    peer, an entry has been created in the association table
    (sctpAssocRemHostName). When no DNS name is provided by the remote
    endpoint at init time, this value will be NULL. Otherwise, the
    received DNS name will be stored.

    It is NOT possible  to create rows in any table (sctpAssocTable,
    sctpAssocLocalAddressTable, sctpRemAddressTable).

    If it is required to abort an existing association, value deleteTCB
    has to be written in the variable sctpAssocState. That is the only
    way to delete rows in any of the mentioned tables.

 3.1.2.1.1 Local IP addresses Table

    Table for local IP addresses information. This table stores
    information related to the local IP address/-es reserved for the
    association. It's indexed by the local IP addresses.

 3.1.2.1.2 Remote IP addresses Table

    Table for remote IP addresses information. This table stores
    information related to the remote IP address/-es reserved for the
    association. It's indexed by the remote IP addresses.

 3.1.2.2  Reverse Lookup Tables

    There is also one reverse lookup table . This is an optional table to
    help management applications efficiently access conceptual rows in
    other tables. This is the way for not performing expensive tree walks
    through large number of associations.

    It is not possible to either create or delete rows in this table.

    All the lookup tables contains the time to identify when a row in the
    table was created.

    Several tables have been created for this purpose:

       -  Local Port: It allows to find the associations in which the
          local endpoint is using the specified local port.
       -  Remote Port: It allows to find the associations in which the
          remote endpoint is using the specified remote port.
       -  Remote Host Name: It allows to find the associations that have
          defined the specified host name as remote endpoint.
       -  Remote Primary IP Address: It allows to find the associations
          that have defined the specified remote IP address as primary.
    Remote IP address: List of all the associations that have the
    specified IP address belonging to the set of remote addresses.
    As an example the picture below shows the table to look up by remote
    port.

 3.2 Conformance

 3.2.1 Groups

    This section includes all the variables defined in the MIB grouped by
    function(variables or statistics) and context (SCTP general
    parameters,
    association context, local IP address context or remote IP address
    context).
    Therefore the following groups have been created:

       -  General variables for the SCTP layer.
       -  General statistics for the states of the SCTP layer.
       -  General statistics for the SCTP layer.
       -  Variables and statistics per association, and variables per
          local and remote IP address.
       -  Statistics per remote IP address.

 3.2.2 Compliance

    Requirements of the SCTP MIB to be implemented.

    There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
    have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
    objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
    environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
    environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
    network operations.

    It is thus important to control even GET access to these objects and
    possibly to even encrypt the values of these object when sending them
    over the network via SNMP.  Not all versions of SNMP provide features
    for such a secure environment.

    SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment.  Even if security
    measures are taken (e.g., using IPSEC), there is no per-user control
    as to who (once an IPSEC association is established between hosts) is
    allowed to GET or SET the objects in this MIB

    It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
    features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework.  Specifically, the use
    of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View-
    based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended.

    It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
    entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
    configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
    (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
    (change/create/delete) them.

 9. Revision History

 9.1 Changes from <SCTP-MIB-predraft-01.txt>

    o Open issues updated

    o Section 2: Reference to RFC227x changed to RFC257x

 Pastor, Belinchon                                              [Page 38]

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

    o Section 4: Inside the sctpRtoAlgorithm definition has been put
    "other" first
    rather than last.  That way, it won't end up in the middle of things
    when new
    enumerations are added later.

 9.2 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-00.txt>

    o Change of "Simple" word to "Stream" word in SCTP acronyms

    o Version of the MIB based on SCTPv10

    o Section 2: Update SNMP Framework to include the standard
    explanation

    o New Structure for the MIB:
                 sctpMIB
               \- sctpObjects
                       \- sctpScalars
                       \- sctpTables
               \- sctpConformance

    o Section 4.1.2: Unit of Conformance updated (functional structure).

    o MAX-ACCESS clauses reviewed

    o The general statistics has been re-ordered, placed before the
    tables.

    o In SMIv2, indexes should be not-accessible (= the object type is a
    column in a table used as index and may not be used as an operand in
    any
    operation != SMIv1) (pp109-110 in [])

    o IPv6 compatible:
        - Change of Primary/Local/Remote addresses
        - PENDING: check "MODULE-COMPLIANCE"

    o Row Status included in AssocTable, AssocLocal and AssocRem to
    create,
    modify and delete rows in the tables.

    o SCTP general statistics changed from Counter32 to Counter64 since
    it supports
    more data changes.

    o sctpCurrEstab ("State-related variables and statistics" section)
    variable
    changed from Gauge32 to Counter32.

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

    o sctpAssocRemAddressT1expired and sctpAssocRemAddressT2expired have
    been
    removed from the remote table and added in the general association
    data
    since they are variables per association (not per IP address).

    o sctpAssocDropDatag statistic has been removed from the general
    association
    statistics since it had an ambiguous meaning.

    o Explained the meaning of the unordered chunks (chunks in which the
    U bit is
    set to 1) in sctpStatOutOfOrderSentChunks and
    sctpStatOutOfOrderRecChunks.

    o Added sctpChecksumErrorCounter to collect information about wrong
    checksums
    received from the peer.

    o Specify that sctpStatSentChunks and sctpStatRecChunks does not
    contain
    retransmission chunks.

    o Reword the Security Considerations chapter pointing out that IPsec
    does
    not secure the network but it provides end-to-end security over a
    network.

    o sctpAssocRemAddressRtxChunks replaced as a variable per
    association,
    meaning the number of chunks retransmited to the peer in the current
    association.

    o sctpHeartBeatMisses and sctpMaxRetr have been replaced from the
    general
    SCTP statistics to the remote IP address table (sctpHeartBeatMisses)
    and
    in the association table (sctpMaxRetr).

    o Specify that the retransmissions in the general SCTP statistics
    include
    control plus data chunks.

    o Included heartbeat timer for remote IP address.

    o Removed sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatMisses variable from the remote
    IP
    address table.

    o Removed sctpAssocRemAddressT3expired variable from the remote IP
    address table.

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

    o Updated variables to the new SCTP states defined in v10.

 9.3 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-01.txt>

    o sctpRtoMin - stray "." outside the double-quotes in the DESCRIPTION
    clause.

    o sctpRtoMax - stray "." outside the double-quotes in the DESCRIPTION
    clause.

    o sctpAssocRemHostName - the type OCTECT STRING should be OCTET
    STRING.

    o sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddress - the DESCRIPTION clause is missing its
    closing ouble-quote.

    o sctpConformance - this is defined as { sctpMIB 2 }, then never
    used; instead sctpMIBConformance (which is undefined) is used in the
    definition of sctpMIBGroups and sctpMIBCompliances.

    o Reworded the MIB organization

    o Removed maximum number of concurrent associations

    o In sctpMIBCompliance, removed a missing comma in MANDATORY-GROUPS.

    o In sctpAssocTablesVariablesGroup and sctpAssocStatGroup, removed
    extra commas at end of OBJECTS list.

    o sctpAssocInStreams. ACCESS changed from read-create to read-only.

    o sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatFlag and sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer
    changed from per remote IP address to per association.

    o Comment on sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer specifies now that the
    manager can change it.

    o ACCESS on sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer changed from read-only to
    read-write.

    o ACCESS on sctpAssocRemAddressRetransCount changed from read-write
    to read-only.

    o Move sctpStatChecksumErrorCounter from general statistics to per
    association.

    o sctpMaxInStreams � It�s a sctp-user feature.

 Pastor, Belinchon                                              [Page 41]

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

    o sctpStatRetransChunks � It�s more useful to have this statistic in
    a association basis

    o sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatFlag and sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer
    have been created again instead of per association in order to follow
    the draft. If some implementations want to have the same value for
    all the associations they have, they should set all the variables in
    the different remote addresses to the same value.

 9.3 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-02.txt>

    o Deleting all the RowStatus Structure. Associated text rewording in
    Tables section.

    o Variable StartTime added in all the tables in order to specify the
    creation time.

    o Adding the Association reverse lookup table for easier management.
    Associated text rewording in tables section.

    o Remove sctpInitialT1 and sctpInitialT2, since these values are
    equal to RTO.

    o Change of the Heartbeats to a per-association basis

    o Conformance up-to-date with all of this.

 9.4 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-03.txt>

    Main changes are due to the alignment with the TCP and UDP MIBs and
    the inclusion of new lookup tables.
    o Convert MIB to a read-only

    o Counters ends with �s�

    o Include �unknown� as an option for InetAddressType  in conformance

    o Terminology fix: CLOSED state, unordered chunks instead of out-of-
    order, ..

    o HBFlag changed to per remote address

    o ChecksumErrors out of the AssocTable and hangs from Scalars

    o Update Ports from Unsigned32 to InetPortNumber according to
    RFC2851-update

    o Rework inverse tables: five new lookup tables

 INTERNET-DRAFT            SCTP MIB using SMIv2             June 12, 2001

    o Remove INTEGER32 and change it to UNSIGNED32

    o Replace Counter32 by Counter64

    o Split Sent and Received chunks per association into control,
    ordered and unordered chunks

 Pastor, Belinchon                                              [Page 43]
