RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 20101.  Introduction   This document provides the network management framework for the   Transport Profile for Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP).   Requirements for network management in an MPLS-TP network are   documented in "Network Management Requirements for MPLS-based   Transport Networks" [3], and this document explains how network   elements and networks that support MPLS-TP can be managed using   solutions that satisfy those requirements.  The relationship between   Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), management, and   other framework documents is described in the MPLS-TP framework [4]   document.   This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force   (IETF) / International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication   Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport   Profile within the IETF MPLS and PWE3 architectures to support the   capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network.1.1.  Terminology   This framework relies on the management terminology from the ITU-T to   describe the management architecture that could be used for an   MPLS-TP management network.  The terminology listed below are taken   from/based on the definitions found in ITU-T G.7710 [6], ITU-T G.7712   [7], and ITU-T M.3013 [13].   o  Communication Channel (CCh): A logical channel between network      elements (NEs) that can be used in (for example) management plane      applications or control plane applications.  For MPLS-TP, the      physical channel supporting the CCh is the MPLS-TP Management      Communication Channel (MCC).   o  Data Communication Network (DCN): A network that supports Layer 1      (physical), Layer 2 (data-link), and Layer 3 (network)      functionality for distributed management communications related to      the management plane, for distributed signaling communications      related to the control plane, and other operations communications      (e.g., order-wire/voice communications, software downloads, etc.).      See ITU-T G.7712 [7].   o  Equipment Management Function (EMF): The management functions      within an NE.  See ITU-T G.7710 [6].   o  Local Craft Terminal (LCT): An out-of-band device that connects to      an NE for management purposes.  See ITU-T G.7710 [6].Mansfield, et al.             Informational                     [Page 3]

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 2010   o  Label Switched Path (LSP): An MPLS-TP LSP is an LSP that uses a      subset of the capabilities of an MPLS LSP in order to meet the      requirements of an MPLS transport network as described in the      MPLS-TP framework [4].   o  Management Application Function (MAF): An application process that      participates in system management.  See ITU-T G.7710 [6].   o  Management Communication Channel (MCC): A CCh dedicated for      management plane communications.  See ITU-T G.7712 [7].   o  Message Communication Function (MCF): The communications process      that performs functions such as information interchange and relay.      See ITU-T M.3013 [13].   o  Management Communication Network (MCN): A DCN supporting      management plane communication is referred to as a Management      Communication Network (MCN).  See ITU-T G.7712 [7].   o  MPLS-TP NE: A network element (NE) that supports MPLS-TP      functions.  Another term that is used for a network element is      node.  In terms of this document, the term node is equivalent to      NE.   o  MPLS-TP network: A network in which MPLS-TP NEs are deployed.   o  Network Element Function (NEF): The set of functions necessary to      manage a network element.  See ITU-T M.3010 [11].   o  Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM): For the MPLS-TP      effort the term OAM means the set of tools that consist of      "operation" activities that are undertaken to keep the network up      and running, "administration" activities that keep track of      resources in the network and how they are used, and "maintenance"      activities that facilitate repairs and upgrades.  For a complete      expansion of the acronym, see "The OAM Acronym Soup" [15].   o  Operations System (OS): A system that performs the functions that      support processing of information related to operations,      administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) (see "The      OAM Acronym Soup" [15]) for the networks, including surveillance      and testing functions to support customer access maintenance.  See      ITU-T M.3010 [11].   o  Signaling Communication Network (SCN): A DCN supporting control      plane communication is referred to as a Signaling Communication      Network (SCN).  See ITU-T G.7712 [7].Mansfield, et al.             Informational                     [Page 4]

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 2010   o  Signaling Communication Channel (SCC): A CCh dedicated for control      plane communications.  The SCC may be used for GMPLS/ASON      signaling and/or other control plane messages (e.g., routing      messages).  See ITU-T G.7712 [7].2.  Management Architecture   The management of the MPLS-TP network could be based on a multi-   tiered distributed management systems, for example as described in   ITU-T M.3010 [11] and ITU-T M.3060/Y.2401 [12].  Each tier provides a   predefined level of network management capabilities.  The lowest tier   of this organization model includes the MPLS-TP network element that   provides the transport service and the Operations System (OS) at the   Element Management Level.  The Management Application Function (MAF)   within the NEs and OSs provides the management support.  The MAF at   each entity can include agents only, managers only, or both agents   and managers.  The MAF that includes managers is capable of managing   an agent included in other MAF.   The management communication to peer NEs and/or OSs is provided via   the Message Communication Function (MCF) within each entity (e.g., NE   and OS).  The user can access the management of the MPLS-TP transport   network via a Local Craft Terminal (LCT) attached to the NE or via a   Work Station (WS) attached to the OS.2.1.  Network Management Architecture   A transport Management Network (MN) may consist of several transport-   technology-specific Management Networks.  Management network   partitioning (Figure 1) below (based on ITU-T G.7710 [6]) shows the   management network partitioning.  Notation used in G.7710 for a   transport-technology-specific MN is x.MN, where x is the transport-   specific technology.  An MPLS-TP-specific MN is abbreviated as MT.MN.   Where there is no ambiguity, we will use "MN" for an MPLS-TP-specific   MN.  In the figure below, O.MSN is equivalent to an OTN management   Subnetwork.Mansfield, et al.

An MPLS-TP Management Network (MT.MN) could be partitioned into   MPLS-TP Management SubNetworks ("MT.MSN" or "MPLS-TP MSN", or just   "MSN" where usage is unambiguous) for consideration of scalability   (e.g., geographic or load balancing) or administration (e.g.,   operation or ownership).   The MPLS-TP MSN could be connected to other parts of the MN through   one or more LCTs and/or OSs.  The Message Communication Function   (MCF) of an MPLS-TP NE initiates/terminates, routes, or otherwise   processes management messages over CChs or via an external interface.   Multiple addressable MPLS-TP NEs could be present at a single   physical location (i.e., site or office).  The inter-site   communications link between the MPLS-TP NEs will normally be provided   by the CChs.  Within a particular site, the NEs could communicate via   an intra-site CCh or via a LAN.2.2.  Element Management Architecture   The Equipment Management Function (EMF) of an MPLS-TP NE provides the   means through which a management system manages the NE.   The EMF interacts with the NE's transport functions by exchanging   Management Information (MI) across the Management Point (MP)   Reference Points.  The EMF may contain a number of functions thatMansfield, et al.             Informational                     [Page 6]

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 2010   provide a data reduction mechanism on the information received across   the MP Reference Points.   The EMF includes functions such as Date and Time, FCAPS (Fault,   Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security) management, and   Control Plane functions.  The EMF provides event message processing,   data storage, and logging.  The management Agent, a component of the   EMF, converts internal management information (MI signals) into   Management Application messages and vice versa.  The Agent responds   to Management Application messages from the Message Communication   Function (MCF) by performing the appropriate operations on (for   example) the Managed Objects in a Management Information Base (MIB),   as necessary.  The MCF contains communications functions related to   the world outside of the NE (i.e., Date and Time source, Management   Plane, Control Plane, Local Craft Terminal, and Local Alarms).   The Date and Time functions keep track of the NE's date/time, which   is used by the FCAPS management functions to e.g., time stamp event   reports.   Below are diagrams that illustrate the components of the Equipment   Management Function (EMF) of a Network Element (NE).  The high-level   decomposition of the Network Element Function (NEF) picture   (Figure 2) provides the breakdown of the NEF, then the EMF picture   (Figure 3) provides the details of Equipment Management Function, and   finally the Message Communication Function (MCF) picture (Figure 4)   details the MCF.Mansfield, et al.

Standard Management Interfaces   The "Network Management Requirements for MPLS-based Transport   Networks" document [3] places no restriction on which management   interface is to be used for managing an MPLS-TP network.  It is   possible to provision and manage an end-to-end connection across a   network where some segments are created/managed/deleted, for example   by NETCONF or SNMP and other segments by CORBA interfaces.  Use of   any network management interface for one management-related purpose   does not preclude use of another network management interface forMansfield, et al.             Informational                    [Page 10]

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 2010   other management-related purposes, or the same purpose at another   time.  The protocol(s) to be supported are at the discretion of the   operator.2.4.  Management- and Control-Specific Terminology   Data Communication Network (DCN) is the common term for the network   used to transport Management and Signaling information between:   management systems and network elements, management systems to other   management systems, and networks elements to other network elements.   The Management Communications Network (MCN) is the part of the DCN   that supports the transport of Management information for the   Management Plane.  The Signaling Communications Network (SCN) is the   part of the DCN that supports transport of signaling information for   the Control Plane.  As shown in , the communication channel   terminology picture (Figure 5) each technology has its own   terminology that is used for the channels that support the transfer   of management and control plane information.  For MPLS-TP, the   management plane uses the Management Communication Channel (MCC), and   the control plane uses the Signaling Communication Channel (SCC).2.5.  Management Channel   The Communication Channel (CCh) provides a logical channel between   NEs for transferring Management and/or Signaling information.  Note   that some technologies provide separate communication channels for   Management (MCC) and Signaling (SCC).   MPLS-TP NEs communicate via the DCN.  The DCN connects NEs with   management systems, NEs with NEs, and management systems with   management systems.Mansfield, et al.             Informational                    [Page 11]

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 20103.  Fault Management   A fault is the inability of a function to perform a required action.   This does not include an inability due to preventive maintenance,   lack of external resources, or planned actions.  Fault management   provides the mechanisms to detect, verify, isolate, notify, and   recover from the fault.3.1.  Supervision   ITU-T G.7710 [6] lists five basic categories of supervision that   provide the functionality necessary to detect, verify, and notify a   fault.  The categories are: Transmission Supervision, Quality of   Service Supervision, Processing Supervision, Hardware Supervision,   and Environment Supervision.  Each of the categories provides a set   of recommendations to ensure that the fault management process is   fulfilled.3.2.  Validation   ITU-T G.7710 [6] describes a fault cause as a limited interruption of   the required function.  It is not reasonable for every fault cause to   be reported to maintenance personnel.  The validation process is used   to turn fault causes (events) into failures (alarms).3.3.  Alarm Handling   Within an element management system, it is important to consider   mechanisms to support severity assignment, alarm reporting control,   and logging.4.  Configuration Management   Configuration management provides the mechanisms to:   o  provision the MPLS-TP services   o  set up security for the MPLS-TP services and MPLS-TP network      elements   o  provide the destination for fault notifications and performance      parameters   o  configure and control OAM   Also associated with configuration management are hardware and   software provisioning and inventory reporting.Mansfield, et al.

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 20104.1.  LSP Ownership Handover   MPLS-TP networks can be managed not only by Network Management   Systems (i.e., Management Plane (MP)), but also by Control Plane (CP)   protocols.  The utilization of the control plane is not a mandatory   requirement (see MPLS-TP Requirements [2]), but it is often used by   network operators in order to make network configuration and Label   Switched Path (LSP) recovery both faster and simpler.   In networks where both CP and MP are provided, an LSP could be   created by either (CP or MP).  The entity creating an LSP owns the   data plane resources comprising that LSP.  Only the owner of an LSP   is typically able to modify/delete it.  This results in a need for   interaction between the MP and CP to allow either to manage all the   resources of a network.   Network operators might prefer to have full control of the network   resources during the set-up phase and then allow the network to be   automatically maintained by the Control Plane.  This can be achieved   by creating LSPs via the Management Plane and subsequently   transferring LSP ownership to the Control Plane.  This is referred to   as "ownership handover"RFC 5493 [10].  MP to CP ownership handover   is then considered a requirement where a Control Plane is in use that   supports it.  The converse (CP to MP ownership handover) is a feature   that is recommended -- but not required -- for (G)MPLS networks   because it has only minor applications (for example, moving LSPs from   one path to another as a maintenance operation).   The LSP handover procedure has already been standardized for GMPLS   networks, where the signaling protocol used is RSVP-TE (RFC 3209   [1]).  The utilization of RSVP-TE enhancements are defined in [5].   MP and CP interworking also includes the exchange of information that   is either requested by the MP, or a notification by the CP as a   consequence of a request from the MP or an automatic action (for   example, a failure occurs or an operation is performed).  The CP is   asked to notify the MP in a reliable manner about the status of the   operations it performs and to provide a mechanism to monitor the   status of Control Plane objects (e.g., TE Link status, available   resources), and to log operations related to Control Plane LSP.   Logging is one of the most critical aspects because the MP always   needs to have an accurate history and status of each LSP and all Data   Plane resources involved in it.Mansfield, et al.

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 20105.  Performance Management   Performance statistics could overwhelm a Management Network, so it is   important to provide flexible instrumentation that enables control   over the amount of performance data to be collected.  Mechanisms for   limiting the quantity of information collected are well known and   deployed in IETF standards (seeRFC 2819 (RMON) [8] andRFC 4502   (RMON2) [9]).  The details of the performance data collected   (including loss and delay measurement data) are found in the "Network   Management Requirements for MPLS-based Transport Networks" document   [3].   A distinction is made between performance data that is collected on-   demand and data that is collected proactively.  The definitions of   on-demand and proactive measurement are provided for OAM in the   "Network Management Requirements for MPLS-based Transport Networks"   document [3].   On-demand measurement provides the operator with the ability to do   performance measurement for maintenance purpose, such as diagnosis or   to provide detailed verification of proactive measurement.  It is   used typically on specific LSP service instances for a limited time,   thus limiting its impact on network performance under normal   operations.  Therefore, on-demand measurement does not result in   scaling issues.   Proactive measurement is used continuously over time after being   configured with periodicity and storage information.  Data collected   from proactive measurement are usually used for verifying the   performance of the service.  Proactive performance monitoring has the   potential to overwhelm both the process of collecting performance   data at a network element (for some arbitrary number of service   instances traversing the NE), and the process of reporting this   information to the OS.  As a consequence of these considerations,   operators would typically limit the services to which proactive   performance measurement would be applied to a very selective subset   of the services being provided and would limit the reporting of this   information to statistical summaries (as opposed to raw or detailed   performance statistics).6.

RFC 5950          NM Framework for MPLS-based Transport   September 20107.  Security Considerations   The ability for the authorized network operator to access EMF   interfaces (Section 2.3) when needed is critical to proper operation.   Therefore, the EMF interfaces need to be protected from denial-of-   service conditions or attack.  The EMF interfaces that use or access   private information should be protected from eavesdropping, mis-   configuration, and/or mal-configuration by unauthorized network   elements, systems, or users.   Performance of diagnostic functions and path characterization   involves extracting a significant amount of information about network   construction that the network operator considers private.Section 4.3 of the "Security Framework for MPLS and GMPLS Networks"   document [14] provides a description of the attacks on the Operation   and Management Plane and also discusses the background necessary to   understand security practices in Internet Service Provider   environments.  The security practices described are applicable to   MPLS-TP environments.8.  References8.1.  Normative References   [1]   Awduche, D., Berger, L., Gan, D., Li, T., Srinivasan, V., and         G.
