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 + sections among others. + + The managed objects in this MIB module are based on [RFC2012] update: + "Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol + (TCP)" referred as [TCPMIB] (work in progress), and RFC 3291 "Textual + Conventions for Internet Network Addresses" [RFC3291]. + + Terms related to the SCTP architecture are explained in [RFC2960]. + 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 [RFC2119]. + +1.1.

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]. + +3. MIB Structure + + This chapter explains the main objects this MIB defines. A detailed + view of the MIB structure with the OID values is below. + + MIB-2 {1 3 6 1 2 1} + +--(104)sctpMIB + | + +--(1) sctpObjects + | | + | +--(1) sctpStats + | | | + | | +-- <scalars> + | | + | +--(2)sctpParameters + | | | + | | +-- <scalars> + | | + | +--(3) sctpAssocTable + | | + | +--(4) sctpAssocLocalAddrTable + | | + | +--(5) sctpAssocRemAddrTable + | | + | +--(6) sctpLookupLocalPortTable + | | + | +--(7) sctpLookupRemPortTable + | | + | +--(8) sctpLookupRemHostNameTable + | | + | +--(9) sctpLookupRemPrimIPAddrTable + | | + | +--(10) sctpLookupRemIPAddrTable + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + | + | + +--(2)sctpMibConformance + | + +--(1) sctpMibCompliances + | | + | +--(1) sctpMibCompliance + | + +--(2) sctpMibGroups + | + +--(1) sctpLayerParamsGroup + | + +--(2) sctpStatsGroup + | + +--(3) sctpPerAssocParamsGroup + | + +--(4) sctpInverseGroup + + + The main groups are explained further in the MIB definition. + +3.1. SCTP Objects + + This branch contains the SCTP statistics and general parameters (both + of them scalars) and the SCTP MIB tables. + +3.1.1. SCTP Statistics + + The SCTP MIB includes both Counter32s and Counter64s to deal with + statistics. Counter64s are used for those counters, which are likely + to wrap around in less than one hour, according to [RFC2863]. + + In addition Gauge32 is also used. + +3.1.1.1. State-Related Statistics + + These statistics are based on the TCP model, but adapted to the SCTP + states. They store the number of successful association attempts, + how many associations have been initiated by the local or the remote + SCTP layer, and 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. Statistics for traffic Measurements + + This set of objects specifies statistics related to the whole SCTP + layer. There are, e.g., statistics related to both SCTP packets and + SCTP chunks. + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + Statistics related to a specific association, or local/remote IP + addresses are defined inside their associated table. + +3.1.2. SCTP Parameters + + This section of the MIB contains the general variables for the SCTP + protocol. Maximum, minimum, initial and default values are listed + here. + + SCTP RTO mechanism definition is based on the TCP MIB [TCPMIB]. In + SCTP, only options 'other' and 'vanj' are valid since SCTP defines + Van Jacobson's algorithm (vanj) as the one to be used to calculate + RTO. 'Other' is left for future use. + +3.1.3. MIB Tables + + There are several tables included in the SCTP MIB. The first group + deals with the SCTP association variables and is composed of a main + and two extended tables. The second group is a bunch of tables used + to perform reverse lookups. + + It is NOT possible to create rows in any table (sctpAssocTable, + sctpAssocLocalAddrTable, sctpRemAddrTable and Reverse Lookup tables) + using SNMP. + + It is NOT possible to delete rows in any table using SNMP except in + sctpAssocTable under the particular conditions explained below. + +3.1.3.1. Association Table + + The sctpAssocTable is the main MIB table, where all the association + related information is stored on a per association basis. It is + structured according to expanded tables. The main table is called + sctpAssocTable and is indexed by sctpAssocId (the association + identification). This is a value that uniquely identifies an + association. The MIB does not restrict what value must be written + here, however it must be unique within the table. + + The sctpAssoc index is also shared by two more tables: + - sctpAssocLocalAddrTable: to store the local IP address(es). + - sctpAssocRemAddrTable: to store the remote addresses and the + per-remote-address related information. + + Entries in the sctpAssocTable are created when trying to establish + the association, i.e., when sending the COOKIE-ECHO message + (originating side) or the COOKIE-ACK message (server side). At this + point, i.e., at established state, all entry fields are filled in + with valid values. + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + Note: The following representation is a conceptual mode of describing + the relationship between the tables in this MIB. Note that the real + relationship of the tables is by sharing an index, so tables are not + truly within tables. Every entry is explained when defining the + corresponding objects in the MIB. + + mib-2 {1 3 6 1 2 1} + +--(104)sctpMIB + | + +--(1) sctpObjects + | | + . . + . . + | + +--(3) sctpAssocTable + | | + | +--(1) sctpAssocId (index) + | | + | +--(2) sctpAssocRemHostName + | | + | +--(3) sctpAssocLocalPort + | | + | +--(4) sctpAssocRemPort + | | + | +--(5) sctpAssocRemPrimAddrType + | | + | +--(6) sctpAssocRemPrimAddr + | | + | +--(7) sctpAssocHeartBeatInterval + | | + | +--(8) sctpAssocState + | | + | +--(9) sctpAssocInStreams + | | + | +--(10) sctpAssocOutStreams + | | + | +--(11) sctpAssocMaxRetr + | | + | +--(12) sctpAssocPrimProcess + | | + | +--(13) sctpAssocT1expireds + | | + | +--(14) sctpAssocT2expireds + | | + | +--(15) sctpAssocRtxChunks + | | + | +--(16) sctpAssocStartTime + | | + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + | +--(17) sctpAssocDiscontinuityTime + | + | + +--(4) sctpAssocLocalAddrTable + | | + | |--(-) sctpAssocId (shared index) + | | + | +--(1) sctpAssocLocalAddrType(index) + | | + | +--(2) sctpAssocLocalAddr (index) + | | + | +--(3) sctpAssocLocalAddrStartTime + | + | + +--(5) sctpAssocRemAddrTable + | | + | |--(-) sctpAssocId (shared index) + | | + | +--(1) sctpAssocRemAddrType (index) + . | + . +--(2) sctpAssocRemAddr (index) + . | + +--(3) sctpAssocRemAddrActive + | + +--(4) sctpAssocRemAddrHBActive + | + +--(5) sctpAssocRemAddrRTO + | + +--(6) sctpAssocRemAddrMaxPathRtx + | + +--(7) sctpAssocRemAddrRtx + | + +--(8) sctpAssocRemAddrStartTime + + Both sctpAssocLocalAddrTable and sctpAssocRemAddrTable are indexed by + addresses. 'Addr' and 'AddrType' use the syntax InetAddress and + InetAddressType defined in the Textual Conventions for Internet + Network Address (RFC3291). The InetAddressType TC has codepoints for + unknown, IPv4, IPv6, non-global IPv4, non-global IPv6, and DNS + addresses, but only the IPv4 and IPv6 address types are required to + be supported by implementations of this MIB module. Implementations + that connect multiple zones are expected to support the non-global + IPv4 and non-global IPv6 address types as well. + + Note that DNS addresses are not used in this MIB module. They are + always resolved to the on-the-wire form prior to connection setup, + and the on-the-wire form is what appears in the MIB objects. + + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + The sctpAssocLocalAddrTable table will have as many entries as local + IP addresses have been defined for the association. The + sctpAssocRemAddrTable table will contain as many entries as remote IP + addresses are known to reach the peer. For the multihoming concept + see reference RFC2960. + + To keep the name of the remote peer (when provided by the peer at + initialization time), an entry has been created in the sctpAssocTable + called sctpAssocRemHostName. When no DNS name is provided by the + remote endpoint, this value will be NULL (zero-length string). + Otherwise, the received DNS name will be stored here. + + If it is necessary to abort an existing association, the value + deleteTCB(9) must be written in the variable sctpAssocState. That is + the only way to delete rows in any of the mentioned tables. + +3.1.3.2. Reverse Lookup Table + + There are five reverse lookup tables to help management applications + efficiently access conceptual rows in other tables. These tables + allow management applications to avoid expensive tree walks through + large numbers of associations. + + All of these tables are optional. If these tables are implemented, + an entry in them must be created after the entry in the main table + (sctpAssocTable) associated with it has been created. This ensures + that the field indexing the lookup table exists. + + The defined reverse lookup tables allow for performing a lookup using + the following variables: + + - Local Port: It allows a management application to find all the + associations that use a specific local port + - Remote Port: It allows a management application to find all the + associations that use a specific remote port + - Remote Host Name: It allows a management application to find + all the associations with a specific host name. + - Remote Primary IP Address: It allows a management application + to find all the associations that use a specific remote IP + address as primary. + - Remote IP address: a management application to find all the + associations that use a specific remote IP address. + + As an example the picture below shows the table to look up by local + port. + + + + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + MIB-2 {1 3 6 1 2 1} + +--(104)sctpMIB + | + +--(1) sctpObjects + | | + . . + . . + | | + | +--(6) sctpLookupLocalPortTable + | | | + . . +--(-) sctpAssocLocalPort (shared index) + . . | + +--(-) sctpAssocId (shared index) + | + +--(1) sctpLookupLocalPortStartTime + + It is not possible for the operator to either create or delete rows + in these tables. The rows in this table will dynamically appear and + be removed as the corresponding entries in sctpAssocTable are. + +3.2. Conformance + + The conformance section recommends all the inverse lookup tables in + this MIB as optional. General layer and per association parameters + and statistics are considered mandatory. + + IP addresses use the global IPv4 and global IPv6 address formats. + Unknown value and DNS name formats are not used. Names, if present, + are stored in the sctpRemoteHostName variable. + +4.

Security Considerations + + There are 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. These + are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: + + o The sctpAssocState object has a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write, + which allows termination of an arbitrary connection. Unauthorized + access could cause a denial of service. + + Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a + MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or + vulnerable in some network environments. Thus, it is 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. These are the tables and objects and their + sensitivity/vulnerability: + + o The sctpAssocTable, sctpAssocLocalAddressTable, + sctpAssocRemAddressTable and the lookup tables contain objects + providing information on the active associations on the device, + local and peer's IP addresses, the status of these associations + and the associated processes. This information may be used by an + attacker to launch attacks against known/unknown weakness in + certain protocols/applications. + + o The sctpAssocTable contains objects providing information on local + and remote ports objects, that can be used to identify what ports + are open on the machine and can thus suggest what attacks are + likely to succeed, without the attacker having to run a port + scanner. + + SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. + Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), + even then, 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 as + provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), + including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for + authentication and privacy). + + + + + + +Pastor & Belinchon Standards Track [Page 44] + +RFC 3873 SCTP MIB using SMIv2 September 2004 + + + 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) that have legitimate + rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them. + + The above objects also have privacy implications, i.e., they disclose + who is connecting to what hosts. These are sensitive from a + perspective of preventing traffic analysis, and also to protect + individual privacy. + +8.
