Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base for
   use with network management protocols in the Internet community.  In
   particular, it describes common managed objects used by other MIB
   modules which are designed for monitoring and/or configuring both L2
   and L3 VPN Multicast.

1.  Introduction

   Multicast in BGP/MPLS Layer 3 (L3) and Layer 2 (L2) VPN (referred to
   as MVPN and L2 VPN Multicast, respectively) can be achieved by using
   provider tunnels to deliver to all or a subset of Provider Edges
   (PEs).  An example of L2 VPN is Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).
   The signaling of provider tunnel choice is very similar for both
   cases, and this memo describes managed objects common to both VPLS
   Multicast [RFC7117] and MVPN [RFC6513], [RFC6514].

1.1.  Terminology

   This document adopts the definitions, acronyms and mechanisms
   described in [RFC6513] [RFC6514] [RFC7117] and other documents that
   they refer to.  Familiarity with Multicast, MPLS, L3 VPN, MVPN
   concepts and/or mechanisms is assumed.  Some of the terms are listed
   below.

   o  PMSI: P-Multicast Service Interface - a conceptual interface for a
      PE to send customer multicast traffic to all or some PEs in the
      same VPN.

   o  I-PMSI: Inclusive PMSI - to all PEs in the same VPN.

   o  S-PMSI: Selective PMSI - to some of the PEs in the same VPN.

2.  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].

Internet-Draft             L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB              December 2016

   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.  Summary of MIB Module

   L2L3-VPN-MCAST-MIB contains a Textual Convention
   L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType, and a
   l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable.  The table is for PMSI Tunnel
   Attributes (PTAs) advertised/received in I/S-PMSI Auto-Discovery
   routes.  Other MIB objects (e.g., mvpnMIB in [I-D.ietf-bess-mvpn-
   mib]) may use the L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType and/or point to
   entries in the l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable.

5.  Security Considerations

   This MIB contains some read-only objects that may be deemed senstive
   by some though perhaps not all operators.  Appropriate security
   procedures related to SNMP in general but not specific to this MIB
   need to be implemented by concerned operators.

6.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to root MIB objects in the MIB module contained in
   this document under the mib-2 subtree.
