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 November 1, 2000
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].
- 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
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 November 1, 2000
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
|
sctpCompliance
where:
- sctpObjects, all the SCTP objects are defined under this
branch.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 4]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 November 1, 2000
- 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, to hold data from each association together with
the main statistics (per association or transport address).
Local and remote tables are included into the general
association table to allow multiples IP addresses in order
to support the multi-home feature.
- 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 November 1, 2000
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 an 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 Association Tables
The part of the MIB to define each association is structured
according to a expanded table. There is a main table (called
association table), 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
implementer decides.
This main table contains common information for a given association
and two other tables inside:
a) 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 address.
b) 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.
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,
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 6]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 November 1, 2000
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.
The variable RowStatus [ConvSMIv2] allows creating and deleting rows
in the tables. In the association table, creation of entries will be
performed after creating the TCB in both sides of the association. In
the local and remote tables, creation of entries will be performed
after the association table creation or when new IP addresses are
added to the association (it this feature is enabled in
the SCTP protocol).
After deleting the TCB, the local and remote table will be deleted,
and then the association table. Also, it is possible to delete
entries in the local and remote table when IP addresses are removed
from the association context by the SCTP layer (if this feature is
enabled).
EDITORS NOTE: The main purpose of the MIB and the access policy have
to be agreed amongst the WG folks.
- Only providing statistics and status information about
associations?
- Allow configuration of associations too?
- When to perform creation and deletion of entries in tables?
A good input will be given by the TCP MIB editors.

DESCRIPTION
"The state of this SCTP association.
As in TCP, the only value which may be set by a management
station is deleteTCB. Accordingly, it is appropriate for
an agent to return a 'badValue' response if a management
station attempts to set this object to any other value.
If a management station sets this object to the value
deleteTCB(9), then this has the effect of deleting the TCB
(as defined in SCTP) of the corresponding association on
the managed node, resulting in immediate termination of the
association.
As an implementation-specific option, an ABORT chunk may be
sent from the managed node to the other SCTP endpoint."

6. Security Consideration
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

(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
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
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 32]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 November 1, 2000
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.
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
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 33]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 November 1, 2000
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.
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.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 34]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 November 1, 2000
o sctpAssocRemHostName - the type OCTECT STRING should be OCTET
STRING.
o sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddress - the DESCRIPTION clause is missing its
closing
double-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
