Managed Objects for Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
over Packet Switched Networks (PSNs)
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 managed objects for pseudowire
encapsulation for structured or unstructured Time-Division
Multiplexing (TDM) (T1, E1, T3, E3) circuits over a Packet Switched
Network (PSN).
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

1. Introduction
This document describes a model for managing TDM pseudowires, i.e.,
TDM data encapsulated for transmission over a Packet Switched Network
(PSN). The term TDM in this document is limited to the scope of
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH). It is currently specified to
carry any TDM Signals in either Structure Agnostic Transport mode
(E1, T1, E3, and T3) or in Structure Aware Transport mode (E1, T1,
and NxDS0) as defined in the Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3)
TDM Requirements document [RFC4197].
This document is closely related to [SATOP], [TDMOIP], and [CESOPSN],
which describe the encapsulation of TDM signals and provide the
Circuit Emulation Service over a PSN.
The TDM management model consists of several MIB modules, following
the layering model described in the PWE3 Architecture document
[RFC3985]. The TDM MIB module described in this document works
closely with the MIB modules described in [DS3MIB], [DS1MIB],
[DS0MIB], [IFMIB], [PWMIB], and with the textual conventions defined
in [PWTC]. The conceptual layering and relationship among all those
is described in Figure 1 below. A TDM connection will be a
pseudowire (PW) connection. It will not be treated as an interface
and will therefore not be represented in the ifTable.

2. Conventions
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 [BCP14].
3. Terminology
The basic terminology used to refer to transmission direction in this
document is taken from [SATOP], which describes a mechanism for
transporting Structure-Agnostic (TDM) bit-streams over a packet-
oriented network. To simplify this document, the terminology is used
for structured and unstructured TDM as well.
"PSN-bound" references the traffic direction where TDM data is
received, adapted to the packet based on the number of payload bytes
per packet, assigned a relevant TDM header (sequence numbers, flags,
and timestamps (if the RTP header is used)), prepended multiplexing
layer and PSN headers, and sent into the PSN.
Conversely, the "CE-bound" references the traffic direction where
packets are received from the PSN, packet payloads are reassembled by
including a jitter buffer where payload of the received TDM packets
Nicklass Standards Track [Page 3]
^L
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009
is stored prior to play out to the TDM line. The size of this buffer
SHOULD be locally configurable to allow accommodation to the PSN-
specific packet delay variation.
The CE-bound TDM interworking function (IWF) SHOULD use the sequence
number in the control word for the detection of lost (Loss of Packet
State (LOPS)) and mis-ordered packets. If the RTP header is used,
the RTP sequence numbers MAY be used for the same purposes.
4. 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].
5. Overview
This MIB module is designed to satisfy the following requirements and
constraints:
1. Fit within the architecture defined by [RFC3985] and [PWMIB].
2. Support edge-to-edge emulation of any TDM connections.
3. Configure the connection. The connection-specific behavior is
provided via the supplement MIB modules.
4. Report various alarms, counters, and status objects.
6. TDM MIB Module Usage
6.1. Structure of TDM MIB
The MIB consists of five tables;
- The TDM PW Table (pwTDMTable) contains generic TDM information
regarding the PW connection. It contains the ifIndex of the TDM
interface, an index to an entry in the generic configuration table
Nicklass Standards Track [Page 4]
^L
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009
(pwTDMCfgTable), an index to an entry in the specific configuration
table (pwCXXXCfgTable, where XXX can be TDMoIP (TDM over IP) or
CESoPSN (Circuit Emulation Service over PSN)), config error
indications, and various status indications. The two indices of
the two configuration tables are providing the connection
parameters. The TDM interface can be a full link of any TDM type
like E1 or DS3, for example, or the interface of the bundle holding
the collection of time slots to be transmitted. Based on the TDM
PW type, the relevant pwXXXCfgTable from the relevant MIB module
will be used. The specific types are:
o 17 Structure-agnostic E1 over Packet
o 18 Structure-agnostic T1 (DS1) over Packet
o 19 Structure-agnostic E3 over Packet
o 20 Structure-agnostic T3 (DS3) over Packet
o 21 CESoPSN basic mode (XXX=CESoPSN)
o 22 TDMoIP AAL1mode (XXX=TDMoIP)
o 23 CESoPSN TDM with CAS (XXX=CESoPSN)
o 24 TDMoIP AAL2 Mode (XXX=TDMoIP)
- The TDM Generic Parameter Table (pwTDMCfgTable) contains TDM
generic configurable parameters for any TDM type.
- The TDM Performance Current Table (pwTDMPerfCurrentTable) contains
TDM statistics for the current 15-minute period.
- The TDM Performance Interval Table (pwTDMPerfIntervalTable)
contains TDM statistics for historical intervals (usually 96 15-
minute entries to cover a 24 hour period).
- The TDM Performance One-Day Interval Table
(pwTDMPerf1DayIntervalTable) contains TDM statistics for historical
intervals accumulated per day. Usually 30 one-day entries to cover
a monthly period.
6.2. TDM Connection Configuration Procedure
Configuring a TDM PW involves the following steps:
First, configure the parameters of the interface-specific layer using
the DS1-MIB and or the DS3-MIB.
Nicklass Standards Track [Page 5]
^L
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009
Next, if applicable, create a bundle of time slots using the DS0
Bundle MIB [DS0MIB].
Next, create an entry in the pwTable and configure the PSN tunnels:
- Follow steps as defined in [PWMIB].
NOTE: The agent should create an entry in the pwTDMTable for any
entry created in the pwTable with pwType equal to a value between
(17) and (24).
Next complete the TDM PW configuration:
- If necessary, create an entry in the relevant pwXXXCfgTable and in
the pwTDMTable (suitable entries may already exist in both tables).
- Set the index of the relevant pwXXXCfgTable entry and of the
relevant pwTDMCfgTable entry in the pwTDMTable.
6.3. TDM PW Monitoring
Upon making the TDM PW operational, the pwTDMPerfCurrentTable,
pwTDMPerfIntervalTable, and PwTDMPerf1DayIntervalTable can be used to
monitor the various counters, indicators, and conditions of the PW.
All performance parameters are accumulated in daily intervals and in
15-minute intervals. The number of daily intervals kept by the agent
is based on the specific implementation. The 15-minute intervals, up
to 96 intervals (24 hours worth), are all kept by the agent. Fewer
than 96 intervals of data will be available if the agent has been
restarted within the last 24 hours. Performance parameters continue
to be collected when the interface is down. There is no requirement
for an agent to ensure a fixed relationship between the start of a
15-minute interval and any wall clock; however, some agents may align
the 15-minute intervals with quarter hours. Performance parameters
are of types PerfCurrentCount and PerfIntervalCount. These textual
conventions are all Gauge32, and they are used because it is possible
for these objects to decrease.
7. Example of Actual TDM PW Setup
This section provides an example of using the various MIB objects
described in the following section to set up a TDM PW connection.
The first example is setting a connection of DS1 type. The second
example is setting a connection with a bandwidth of 3 DS0 (time
slots).
Nicklass Standards Track [Page 6]
^L
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009
While those examples are not meant to illustrate all options of the
MIB, they are intended as an aid to understanding some of the key
concepts. See [PWMIB] for an example of setting up PSN tunnels.
First example:
1. Configure the DS1 interface using DS1-MIB.
2. If needed, create an entry in the pwTDMCfgTable (assuming index =
10); verify that there are no errors in the configuration using
the relevant object.
3. Get a new pwIndexNext [PWMIB] and create a new pwTable entry
using the value of pwIndexNext (assume here, the PW index = 20).
4. Set the pwType [PWMIB] of the new entry to the relevant value
(17) or (18). This should create a new entry in the pwTDMTable.
5. Configure the newly created TDM PW with the required pointers,
indices, and the relevant entry in pwTDMCfgTable (index 10).
In [DS1MIB] dsx1IfIndex (ifIndex = 5)
In pwTDMCfgTable entry: Set the connection characteristic
parameters:
{
pwTDMCfgPayloadSize = 43 -- payload bytes
pwTDMCfgPktReorder = FALSE
pwTDMCfgRtpHdrUsed = FALSE
pwTDMCfgJtrBfrDepth = 30000 -- micro-seconds
}
In pwTDMTable entry: Set the relevant ifIndex, the generic TDM
index, and the specific TDM index to complete creation:
{
pwTDMIfIndex = 5 -- IfIndex of associated entry
-- in DS1 table
pwGenTDMCfgIndex = 10 -- Index of associated entry
-- in pwTDMCfgTable.
pwRelTDMCfgIndex = 0 -- No Index in associated entry
-- in pwXXXCfgTable.
}
Verify that there are no error bits set in pwTDMConfigError.
Nicklass Standards Track [Page 7]
^L
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009
Second example:
1. Configure the DS1 interface using DS1-MIB.
2. Set up a bundle and get its dsx0BundleIfIndex. Setting up the
bundle should involve using IFMIB properly.
3. Since structured TDMoIP circuit is defined, the next MIB module
to be used is TDMoIP-MIB.
4. If needed, create an entry in the pwTDMCfgTable (assuming index =
7).
5. If needed, create an entry in the pwXXXCfgTable (index = 11).
XXX can be TDMoIP or CESoPSN.
6. Verify that there are no errors in the configuration using the
relevant object when signaling is in use.
7. Get a new pwIndexNext [PWMIB] and create a new pwTable entry
using the value of pwIndexNext.
8. Set the pwType [PWMIB] of the new entry to (24). This should
create a new entry in the pwTDMTable.
9. Configure the newly created TDM PW with the required pointers,
indices, and the relevant entries in pwTDMCfgTable and in
pwXXXCfgTable (assuming indices 7 and 11).
In [DS1MIB] dsx1IfIndex (ifIndex) = 5
In [DS0MIB] dsx0BundleIfIndex = 8
In pwTDMTable entry: Set the relevant ifIndex, the generic
TDM index, and the specific TDM index to complete creation:
{
pwTDMIfIndex = 8 -- IfIndex of associated entry
-- in DS0 table
pwGenTDMCfgIndex = 7 -- Index of associated entry
-- in pwTDMCfgTable.
pwRelTDMCfgIndex = 11 -- Index of associated entry
-- in pwXXXCfgTable.
-- pwXXXCfgTable might be an implementation specific table too.
}
Verify that there are no error bits set in pwTDMConfigError.

9. Security Considerations
It is clear that this MIB module is potentially useful for monitoring
of TDM PWs. This MIB can also be used for configuration of certain
objects, and anything that can be configured can be incorrectly
configured, with potentially disastrous results.
Nicklass Standards Track [Page 37]
^L
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with 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:
The pwTDMTable and pwTDMCfgTable contain objects of TDM PW parameters
on a Provider Edge (PE) device. Unauthorized access to objects in
these tables could result in disruption of traffic on the network.
The use of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be
considered where possible. Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM MUST be
used with any SNMPV3 agent, which implements this MIB module.
Administrators should consider whether read access to these objects
should be allowed, since read access may be undesirable under certain
circumstances.
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. 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. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
The pwTDMTable, pwTDMPerfCurrentTable, pwTDMPerfIntervalTable, and
pwTDMPerf1DayIntervalTable collectively show the TDM pseudowire
connectivity topology and its performance characteristics.
If an Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then
these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable.
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).

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