BrownleeRequest for Comments: 2064 The University of AucklandCategory: Experimental January 1997Traffic Flow Measurement: Meter MIBStatus of this Memo This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.Abstract This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, this memo defines managed objects used for obtaining traffic flow information from network traffic meters.Table of Contents1 The Network Management Framework . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .12 Objects . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .22.1 Format of Definitions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .33 Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .33.1 Scope of Definitions, Textual Conventions . . . . . . . . .33.2 Usage of the MIB variables . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .44 Definitions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .65 Acknowledgements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .376 References . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .377 Security Considerations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .388 Author's Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .381 The Network Management Framework The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are:RFC 1155 defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD 16,RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI.Brownlee Experimental [Page 1]
RFC 2064 Meter MIB January 1997RFC 1156 defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. STD 17,RFC 1213 [1] defines MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new operational requirements. STD 15,RFC 1157 defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network access to managed objects.RFC 1442 [2] defines the SMI for version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol. RFCs 1443 and 1444 [3,4] define Textual Conventions and Conformance Statements for version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol.RFC 1452 [5] describes how versions 1 and 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol should coexist. The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.2 Objects Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [6] defined in the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax, and an encoding. The name is an object identifier, an administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type. The object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the OBJECT DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type. The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for this purpose. However, the SMI [2] purposely restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made for simplicity. The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly tied to the notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type is represented when being transmitted on the network. The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [7], subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.Brownlee Experimental [Page 2]
RFC 2064 Meter MIB January 19972.1 Format of DefinitionsSection 4 contains contains the specification of all object types contained in this MIB module. These object types are defined using the conventions defined in [2] and [3].3 Overview Traffic Flow Measurement seeks to provide a well-defined method for gathering traffic flow information from networks and internetworks. The background for this is given in "Traffic Flow Measurement: Background" [8]. The Realtime Traffic Flow Measurement (rtfm) Working Group has produced a measurement architecture to achieve it; this is documented in "Traffic Flow Measurement: Architecture" [9]. The architecture defines three entities: - METERS, which observe network traffic flows and build up a table of flow data records for them, - METER REAERS, which collect traffic flow data from meters, and - MANAGERS, which oversee the operation of meters and meter readers. This memo defines the SNMP management information for a Traffic Flow Meter (TFM). It documents the earlier work of the Internet Accounting Working Group, and is intended to provide a starting point for the Realtime Traffic Flow Measurement Working Group.3.1 Scope of Definitions, Textual Conventions All objects defined in this memo are registered in a single subtree within the mib-2 namespace [1,2], and are for use in network devices which may perform a PDU forwarding or monitoring function. For these devices, the value of the ifSpecific variable in the MIB-II [1] has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value: flowMIB OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= mib-2 40 as defined below. The RTFM Meter MIB was first produced and tested using SNMPv1. It has been converted into SNMPv2 following the guidelines inRFC 1452 [5].Brownlee Experimental [Page 3]
RFC 2064 Meter MIB January 19973.2 Usage of the MIB variables The MIB breaks into four parts - control, flows, rules and conformance statements. The rules implement the minumum set of packet-matching actions, as set out in the "Traffic Flow Measurment: Architecture" document [9]. In addition they provide for BASIC-style subroutines, allowing a network manager to dramatically reduce the number of rules required to monitor a big network. Traffic flows are identified by a set of attributes for each of its end-points. Attributes include network addresses for each layer of the network protocol stack, and 'subscriber ids,' which may be used to identify an accountable entity for the flow. The conformance statements are set out as defined in [4]. They explain what must be implemented in a meter which claims to conform to this MIB. To retrieve flow data one could simply do a linear scan of the flow table. This would certainly work, but would require a lot of protocol exchanges. To reduce the overhead in retrieving flow data the flow table uses a TimeFilter variable, defined as a Textual Convention in the RMON2 MIB [10]. This, when used together with SNMPv2's GetBulk request, allows a meter reader to scan the flow table and upload a specified set of flow attributes for those rows which have changed since the last reading. As an alternative method of reading flow data, the MIB provides an index into the flow table called flowColumnActivityTable. This is (logically) a three-dimensional array, subscripted by flow attribute, activity time and starting flow number. This allows a meter reader to retrieve (in an opaque object) data for a column of the flow table with a minimum of SNMP overhead. An attempt has been made to include a full ASN.1 definition of the flowColumnActivityData object. One aspect of data collection which needs emphasis is that all the MIB variables are set up to allow multiple independent colletors to work properly, i.e. the flow table indexes are stateless. An alternative approach would have been to 'snapshot' the flow table, which would mean that the meter readers would have to be synchronized. The stateless approach does mean that two meter readers will never return exactly the same set of traffic counts, but over long periods (e.g. 15-minute collections over a day) the discrepancies are acceptable. If one really needs a snapshot, this can be achieved by switching to an identical rule set with a different RuleSet number, hence asynchronous collections may beBrownlee Experimental [Page 4]
RFC 2064 Meter MIB January 1997 regarded as a useful generalisation of synchronised ones. The control variables are the minimum set required for a meter reader. Their number has been whittled down as experience has been gained with the MIB implementation. A few of them are 'general,' i.e. they control the overall behaviour of the meter. These are set by a single 'master' manager, and no other manager should attempt to change their values. The decision as to which manager is the 'master' must be made by the network operations personnel responsible; this MIB does not attempt to provide any support for interaction between managers. There are three other groups of control groups, arranged into tables in the same way as in the RMON MIB [10]. They are used as follows: - RULE SET INFO: Before attempting to download a rule table a manager must create a row in the flowRuleSetInfo with flowRuleInfoStatus set to 'createAndWait.' When the rule set is ready the manager must set RuleSetInfo to 'active,' indicating that the rule set is ready for use. - METER READER INFO: Any meter reader wishing to collect data reliably for all flows should first create a row in the flowReaderInfoTable with flowReaderStatus set to 'active.' It should write that row's flowReaderLastTime object each time it starts a collection pass through the flow table. The meter will not recover a flow's memory until every meter reader holding a row in this table has collected that flow's data. - MANAGER INFO: Any manager wishing to download rule sets to the meter must create a row in the flowManagerInfo table with flowManagerStatus set to 'active.'. Once it has a table row, the manager may set the control variables in its row so as to cause the meter to run any valid rule set held by the meter.Brownlee Experimental [Page 5]
