           Definitions of Managed Objects for Packet Sampling
                  <draft-ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib-06.txt>

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   In particular, it describes extensions to the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB
   module.  For IPFIX implementations that use packet Sampling (PSAMP)
   techniques, this memo defines the PSAMP MIB module containing managed
   objects for providing information on applied packet selection
   functions and their parameters.

1.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58,RFC 2580
   [RFC2580].


2.  Introduction

   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 RFC
   2119 [RFC2119].

   This document is a product of the IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX)
   working group.  Work on this document was started in the Packet
   Sampling (PSAMP) Working Group (WG) and moved to the IPFIX WG when
   the PSAMP WG was concluded.

   Its purpose is to define managed objects for monitoring PSAMP Devices
   performing packet selection by Sampling and Filtering as described in
   [RFC5475].

   It is assumed that packet Sampling is performed according to the
   framework defined in [RFC5474].

   Managed objects in the PSAMP MIB module are defined as an extension
   of the IPFIX MIB and IPFIX SELECTOR MIB modules [RFC6615].  Since the
   IPFIX MIB module is only for monitoring the same holds true for the
   PSAMP MIB module defined in this document.  The definition of objects
   is in line with the PSAMP information model [RFC5477].

   Section 3 gives an overview of the PSAMP documents, while section 4
   refers to the related IPFIX documents.  Section 5 describes the
   structure of the PSAMP MIB module and section 6 contains the formal
   definition.  Security issues are discussed in section 7.

3.  PSAMP Documents Overview

   [RFC5474]: "A Framework for Packet Selection and Reporting" describes
   the PSAMP framework for network elements to select subsets of packets
   by statistical and other methods, and to export a stream of reports
   on the selected packets to a Collector.

   [RFC5475]: "Sampling and Filtering Techniques for IP Packet
   Selection" describes the set of packet selection techniques supported
   by PSAMP.

   [RFC5476]: "Packet Sampling (PSAMP) Protocol Specifications"
   specifies the export of packet information from a PSAMP Exporting
   Process to a PSAMP Collecting Process.

   [RFC5477]: "Information Model for Packet Sampling Exports" defines an
   information and data model for PSAMP.

   This document: "Definitions of Managed Objects for Packet Sampling"
   describes the PSAMP Management Information Base.


4.  Related IPFIX Documents

   The IPFIX protocol provides network administrators with access to IP
   Flow information.

   [RFC5101]: The protocol document "Specification of the IP Flow
   Information Export (IPFIX) Protocol for the Exchange of IP Traffic
   Flow Information" specifies how IPFIX Data Records and Templates are
   carried via a congestion-aware transport protocol from IPFIX
   Exporting Processes to IPFIX Collecting Processes.  It also specifies
   the data types used in the PSAMP MIB module and their encoding.

   [RFC6615]: The IPFIX MIB "Definitions of Managed Objects for IP Flow
   Information Export" is the basis for this document because it extends
   the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module defined there.


5.  Structure of the PSAMP MIB module

   The IPFIX MIB module defined in [RFC6615] has the concept of a packet
   Selection Process containing a set of Selector function instances.
   Selection Processes and functions are referenced in the
   ipfixSelectionProcessTable of the IPFIX MIB module.  The
   ipfixSelectionProcessTable identifies an instance of a Selector
   function by an OID.  The OID points to an object that describes the
   Selector function.  For simple Selector functions without parameters,



Dietz, et al.       draft-ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib-06.txt           [Page 4]

Internet-Draft                  PSAMP MIB                      July 2012


   the OID refers to an object which contains only one additional object
   indicating the current availability of the function.  For functions
   which have one or more parameters the object has a subtree that in
   addition to an availability object contains a table with a conceptual
   column for each parameter.  Entries (conceptual rows) in this table
   represent different combinations of parameter values for instances of
   the Selector function.

   The object ipfixSelectorFunctions in the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module
   serves as the root for objects that describe instances of packet
   Selector functions.  The IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module is a very small
   module which is defined in [RFC6615].  The top level OIDs of the
   parameter trees located beneath ipfixSelectorFunctions are maintained
   by IANA.  In the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module as defined by [RFC6615]
   the object ipfixSelectorFunctions contains just a single trivial
   packet Selector function called ipfixFuncSelectAll that selects every
   packet and has no parameter:

   ipfixSelectorMIB
   +- ipfixSelectorObjects(1)
      +- ipfixSelectorFunctions(1)
         +- ipfixFuncSelectAll(1)
            +- ipfixFuncSelectAllAvail(1)

   The PSAMP MIB module defined in this document registers additional
   toplevel OIDs for the parameter subtrees of its Selector functions in
   the IPFIX-SELECTOR-MIB Function subregistry according to the
   procedures defined in [RFC6615].  It introduces six new subtrees
   beneath ipfixSelectorFunctions.  Each of them describes a packet
   Selector function with one or more parameters.  Naming and ordering
   of objects is fully in line with the guidelines given in section 6.1
   of [RFC6615].  All functions and their parameters are already listed
   in the overview of functions given by the table in section 8.2.1 of
   [RFC5477].

5.1.  Textual Conventions

   The PSAMP MIB module imports two textual conventions which define
   data types used in this MIB module from other MIB modules.  The
   Unsigned64TC data type is imported from the APPLICATION MIB module
   [RFC2564] and the Float64TC data type is imported from the FLOAT-TC-
   MIB module [RFC6340].  Those data types are defined according to
   [RFC5101].  Those data types are not an integral part of [RFC2578]
   but are needed to define objects in this MIB module that conform to
   the Information Elements defined for those objects in [RFC5477].

   The Unsigned64TC textual convention describes an unsigned integer of
   64 bits.  It is imported from the APPLICATION MIB module.  The

Internet-Draft                  PSAMP MIB                      July 2012


   Float64TC textual convention describes the format that is used for 64
   bit floating point numbers.

5.2.  Packet Selection Functions

   In general, different packet Selector functions have different
   parameters.  The PSAMP MIB module contains six objects with subtrees
   that provide information on parameters of function instances of
   different Selector functions.  All objects are named and structured
   according to section 8.2.1 of [RFC5477]:

   ipfixSelectorFunctions(1)
   +-- psampSampCountBased(2)
   +- -psampSampTimeBased(3)
   +-- psampSampRandOutOfN(4)
   +-- psampSampUniProb(5)
   +-- psampFiltPropMatch(6)
   +-- psampFiltHash(7)

   Indexing of these functions in the PSAMP MIB module starts with index
   (2).  The function ipfixFuncSelectAll with index (1) is already
   defined in the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module as shown above.

   The object tree for each of these functions is described below.
   Semantics of all functions and their parameters are described in
   detail in [RFC5475].  More information on the Selector Reports can
   also be found in section 6.5.2 of [RFC5476].

5.2.1.  Systematic Count-based Sampling

   The first Selector function is systematic count-based Sampling.  Its
   availability is indicated by object psampSampCountBasedAvail.  The
   function has two parameters: psampSampCountBasedInterval and
   psampSampCountBasedSpace.  Different combination of values of these
   parameters for different instances of the Selector function are
   represented by different conceptual rows in table
   psampSampCountBasedParamSetEntry:

   psampSampCountBased(2)
   +-- psampSampCountBasedAvail(1)
   +-- psampSampCountBasedParamSetTable(2)
      +-- psampSampCountBasedParamSetEntry(1) [psampSampCountBasedIndex]
         +-- psampSampCountBasedIndex(1)
         +-- psampSampCountBasedInterval(2)
         +-- psampSampCountBasedSpace(3)

Internet-Draft                  PSAMP MIB                      July 2012


5.2.2.  Systematic Time-based Sampling

   The second Selector function is systematic time-based Sampling.  The
   structure of the sub-tree for this function is similar to the
   psampSampCountBased sub-tree.  Parameters are
   psampSampTimeBasedInterval and psampSampTimeBasedSpace.  They appear
   to be the same as for count based Sampling, but their data types are
   different because they indicate time values instead of numbers of
   packets:

   psampSampTimeBased(3)
   +-- psampSampTimeBasedAvail(1)
   +-- psampSampTimeBasedParamSetTable(2)
      +-- psampSampTimeBasedParamSetEntry(1) [psampSampTimeBasedIndex]
         +-- psampSampTimeBasedIndex(1)
         +-- psampSampTimeBasedInterval(2)
         +-- psampSampTimeBasedSpace(3)

5.2.3.  Random n-out-of-N Sampling

   The third Selector function is random n-out-of-N Sampling.
   Parameters are psampSampRandOutOfNSize and
   psampSampRandOutOfNPopulation:

   psampSampRandOutOfN(4)
   +-- psampSampRandOutOfNAvail(1)
   +-- psampSampRandOutOfNParamSetTable(2)
      +-- psampSampRandOutOfNParamSetEntry(1) [psampSampRandOutOfNIndex]
         +-- psampSampRandOutOfNIndex(1)
         +-- psampSampRandOutOfNSize(2)
         +-- psampSampRandOutOfNPopulation(3)

5.2.4.  Uniform Probabilistic Sampling

   The fourth Selector function is uniform probabilistic Sampling.  It
   has just a single parameter called psampSampUniProbProbability:

   psampSampUniProb(5)
   +-- psampSampUniProbAvail(1)
   +-- psampSampUniProbParamSetTable(2)
      +-- psampSampUniProbParamSetEntry(1) [psampSampUniProbIndex]
         +-- psampSampUniProbIndex(1)
         +-- psampSampUniProbProbability(2)

Internet-Draft                  PSAMP MIB                      July 2012


5.2.5.  Property Match Filtering

   The fifth Selector function is property match Filtering.  For this
   Selector function there is a broad variety of possible parameters
   that could be used.  But as stated in section 8.2.1 of [RFC5477]
   there are no agreed parameters specified and the sub-tree for this
   function only contains an object indicating the availability of this
   function.  Parameters cannot be retrieved via the PSAMP MIB module:

   psampFiltPropMatch(6)
   +-- psampFiltPropMatchAvail(1)

5.2.6.  Hash-based Filtering

   The sixth Selector function is hash-based Filtering.  The object
   psampFiltHashFunction is an enumeration that specifies the kind of
   hash function that is applied.  These hash function have quite a
   number of parameters and the actual number may vary with the choice
   of the hash function applied.  The common parameter set for all hash-
   based Filtering functions contains 7 parameters:
   psampFiltHashInitializerValue, psampFiltHashIpPayloadOffset,
   psampFiltHashIpPayloadSize, psampFiltHashSelectedRangeMin,
   psampFiltHashSelectedRangeMax, psampFiltHashOutputRangeMin, and
   psampFiltHashOutputRangeMax.

   psampFiltHash(7)
   +-- psampFiltHashAvail(1)
   +-- psampFiltHashCapabilities(2)
   +-- psampFiltHashParamSetTable(3)
      +-- psampFiltHashParamSetEntry(1) [psampFiltHashIndex]
         +-- psampFiltHashIndex(1)
         +-- psampFiltHashFunction(2)
         +-- psampFiltHashInitializerValue(3)
         +-- psampFiltHashIpPayloadOffset(4)
         +-- psampFiltHashIpPayloadSize(5)
         +-- psampFiltHashSelectedRangeMin(6)
         +-- psampFiltHashSelectedRangeMax(7)
         +-- psampFiltHashOutputRangeMin(8)
         +-- psampFiltHashOutputRangeMax(9)

   Further parameters depend on the applied hash function and are not
   specified within the PSAMP MIB module.

7.  Security Considerations

   There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have
   a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  So, if this
   MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an
   intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB
   module via direct SNMP SET operations.

   All tables in this MIB module may be considered sensitive or
   vulnerable in some network environments because objects in the tables
   may reveal information about the network infrastructure and device
   configuration.  It is thus important to control even GET and/or
   NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the
   values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
   there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to
   access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this
   MIB module.

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
   RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
   the objects only to those principals (users) who have legitimate
   rights to GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.


8.  IANA Considerations

   The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:

           Descriptor             OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
           ----------             -----------------------
           psampMIB               { mib-2 xxx }

   Further on, IANA will register the following toplevel OIDs in the
   IPFIX-SELECTOR-MIB Functions sub-registry at
   http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers according to the
   procedures set forth in [RFC6615]:

Internet-Draft                  PSAMP MIB                      July 2012


  Decimal Name                Description                      Reference
  ------- ------------------- -------------------------------- ---------
  2       psampSampCountBased Systematic Count-based Sampling  [RFCyyyy]
  3       psampSampTimeBased  Systematic Time-based Sampling   [RFCyyyy]
  4       psampSampRandOutOfN Random n-out-of-N Sampling       [RFCyyyy]
  5       psampSampUniProb    Universal Probabilistic Sampling [RFCyyyy]
  6       psampFiltPropMatch  Property Match Filtering         [RFCyyyy]
  7       psampFiltHash       Hash-based Filtering             [RFCyyyy]

   The prerequisites set forth for addition of these OIDs are to be
   verified based on the content of this document.

   Editor's Note (to be removed prior to publication): the IANA is
   requested to assign a value for "xxx" under the 'mib-2' subtree and
   to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry.  When the
   assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace "xxx"
   (here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove
   this note.  The RFC editor is also asked to replace "yyyy" in this
   document and the MIB module by the number of the RFC when the
   assignment has been made.
