            Exporting MIB Variables using the IPFIX Protocol
                draft-ietf-ipfix-mib-variable-export-02

Abstract

   This document specifies a way to complement IPFIX Flow Records with
   Management Information Base (MIB) objects, avoiding the need to
   define new IPFIX Information Elements for existing Management
   Information Base objects that are already fully specified.

   This method requires an extension to the current IPFIX protocol.  New
   Template Set and Options Template Sets are specified to allow the
   export of Extended Field Specifiers, which may represent IPFIX
   Information Elements and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
   MIB Objects.

   o  (JS) Do we need to add something about the contextEngineID and
      contextName?  Optionally associate context with template via
      options Could be done with common properties or in a flow record.
      See section 5.6.  However, do we limit all MIB variables in a
      Template Record to a single context? 3 cases:

      1.  if a simple SNMP agent, no contextEngineID and contextName,
          because it's the default

      2.  the context information is valid for the entire flow record

      3.  the context information is specific for each IE within the

      question regarding 3.: only one context for an entire flow or can
      a flow record export MIB OID from different context?  (JS): ask
      the IPFIX mailing list.  (BC): ask internally in Cisco Action:

2.  Introduction

   There is growing interest in using IPFIX as a push mechanism for
   exporting management information.  Using a push protocol such as
   IPFIX instead of a polling protocol like SNMP is especially
   interesting in situations where large chunks of repetitive data need
   to be exported periodically.

   While initially targeted at different problems, there is a large
   parallel between the information transported via IPFIX and SNMP.
   Furthermore, certain Management Information Base (MIB) objects are
   highly relevant to flows as they are understood today.  For example,
   in the IPFIX information model [RFC5102], Information Elements coming
   from the SNMP world have already been specified, e.g.,
   ingressInterface and egressInterface both refer to the ifIndex
   defined in [RFC2863].

   Rather than mapping existing MIB objects to IPFIX Information
   Elements on a case by case basis, it would be advantageous to enable
   the export of any existing or future MIB objects as part of an IPFIX
   Flow Record.  This way, the duplication of data models [RFC3444],
   both as SMI MIB objects and IPFIX Information Elements, out of the
   same information model [RFC3444] would be avoided.

   In this document, new Template Sets for Flow Records and Options
   Records are specified to allow Templates to contain any combination
   of fields defined by traditional IPFIX Information Element(s) and/or
   MIB Object Identifier(s).  The MIB Object Identifiers can reference
   either non-indexed or indexed MIB object(s).  Enterprise-specific MIB
   Object Identifiers are also supported.

   When an indexed MIB object is exported, a method to identify how that
   MIB object is indexed is specified so that the full meaning of the
   information being exported can be conveyed.  The specification
   encompasses the different index types for the MIB Objects Identifier:
   indexed by one or multiple MIB variable(s), indexed by one or
   multiple IPFIX Information Element(s), indexed by a mix of MIB
   variable(s) and IPFIX Information Element(s).  A set of example use

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   cases illustrates how these specifications can be used.

   Some Exporters may not have the knowledge to convey the full
   information on how the MIB objects being exported are indexed.  They
   may not know the index count and/or the OID's of the objects that are
   used to index a MIB object.  In such cases the Exporter can send the
   the values of the index OID's identifying the instance of the object
   being exported as one string that conveys the instance identifier
   part of an object being exported.  The Collecting Process may know
   how a MIB object is indexed by some other means, for example, it
   could compile this information from the MIB Module that defines
   exported MIB object or the Collecting Process could be hardcoded with
   this information for a pre-defined set of MIB objects that it is
   interested in.  An example use case is used to illustrate this
   mechanism.

3.  Motivation and Architectural Model

   Most Flow Records contain the ingressInterface and/or the
   egressInterface Information Element.  These Information Elements
   carry an ifIndex value, a MIB object defined in [RFC2863].  In order
   to retrieve additional information about the identified interface, a
   Collector could simply poll relevant objects from the device running
   the Exporter via SNMP, however, that approach has several problems:

   o  It requires implementing a mediation function between two data
      models, i.e., MIB objects and IPFIX Information Elements.

   o  Confirming the validity of simple mappings (e.g., ifIndex to
      ifName) requires to either check on a regular basis that the
      Exporter's network management system did not reload, or imposing
      ifIndex persistence across an Exporter's reload.

   o  Synchronization problems occur since counters carried in Flow
      Records and counters carried in SNMP messages are retrieved from
      the Exporter at different points in time and thus can't be
      correlated.  In the best case, assuming very tight integration of
      an IPFIX Collector with and SNMP polling engine, SNMP data is
      retrieved shortly after Data Records have been received, which
      implies the sum of the active or inactive timeouts (if not null)
      plus the time to export the Flow Record to the Collector.  If,
      however, the SNMP data is retrieved by a generic Network
      Management Station (NMS) polling interface statistics, then the
      time lag between IPFIX counters and SNMP counters can be
      significant.

   The intended scope of this work is the addition of MIB variable(s) to

Claise, et al.           Expires August 29, 2013                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   IPFIX Information Elements in Flow Records, in order to complement
   the Flow Records with useful and already standardized information.
   More specifically, the case of an existing Template Record, which
   needed to be augmented with some MIB variables whose index was
   already present in the Template Record as an IPFIX Information
   Element: typically, a 7-tuple Flow Record containing the
   ingressInterface Information Element, augmented by interface counters
   [RFC2863], which are indexed by the respective ingressInterface
   values in the Flow Records.

   The intended goal of this work is not a replacement of SNMP
   notifications, even if the specifications in this document could
   potentially allow this.  Since IPFIX is a push mechanism, initiated
   from the Exporter with no acknowledgment method, this specification
   does not provide the ability to execute configuration changes.

   The Distributed Management Expression MIB [RFC2982], which is a
   mechanism to create new MIB variables based on the content of
   existing ones, could also be advantageous in this context of this
   specification.  Indeed, newly created MIB object (for example, the
   link utilization MIB variable), created with the Distributed
   Management Expression MIB [RFC2982] could nicely complement Flow
   Records.

   Another advantage of exporting MIB objects via IPFIX is that IPFIX
   would benefit from an extended series of types to be exported.  The
   simple and application-wide data types specified in SMIv2 [RFC2578],
   along with a new textual conventions, can be exported within IPFIX
   and then decoded in the Collector.

   The overall architectural model is depicted in Figure 1.  The IPFIX
   Exporter accesses the device's instrumentation, which follows the
   specifications contained in MIB modules.  Other management interfaces
   such as NETCONF or the device's Command Line Interface (CLI) may
   provide access to the same instrumentation.

4.  Terminology

   IPFIX-specific terminology (Information Element, Template, Template
   Record, Options Template Record, Template Set, Collector, Exporter,
   Flow Record, etc.) used in this document is defined in Section 2 of
   [RFC5101].  As in [RFC5101], these IPFIX-specific terms have the
   first letter of a word capitalized.

   This document prefers the more generic term "Data Record" as opposed
   to "Flow Record" as this specification allows the export of MIB
   objects.

   MIB Object Identifier (MIB OID)

        An ASCII character sequence of decimal non-negative sub-
        identifier values.  Each sub-identifier value MUST NOT exceed
        2^32-1 (4294967295) and MUST NOT have leading zeros.  Sub-
        identifiers are separated by single dots and without any
        intermediate whitespace.

   MIB Object Identifier Information Element

        An IPFIX Information Element ("mibObjectIdentifier") that
        denotes that a MIB Object Identifier is exported in the
        (Options) Data Record.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   [RFC2119].

5.  Extended Records

   Extended Template and Option Template Records contain Extended Field
   Specifiers, which are required to export data defined by MIB Object
   Identifiers.  The new Template Set and Option Template Set required
   for these extended Template Record Formats are defined in
   Section 11.1.

5.1.  Extended Template Record Format

   The format of the Extended Template Record is shown in Figure 2.  It
   consists of a Template Record Header followed by zero or more
   Extended Field Specifiers, which may identify any combination of
   IANA-assigned and/or enterprise-specific Extended Information
   Elements.

                  Figure 3: Template Record Header Format

   Where:

      Template ID

         Template ID of this Template Record.  This value is greater
         than 255.

      Field Count

         Number of all fields in this Template Record.

   At this level of detail the layout of the Template Record Format as
   specified in [RFC5101], and the Extended Template Record Format are
   identical.  It is only the structure of the Extended Field Specifiers
   that is different (see Section 5.3).

   Due to this difference, Extended Template Records MUST NOT be
   exported in IPFIX Set ID 2.  Extended Template Records MUST be
   exported in a new IPFIX Set using Set ID TBD1 defined in
   Section 11.1.

5.2.  Extended Options Template Record Format

   The format of the Extended Options Template Record is shown in
   Figure 4.  It consists of an Options Template Record Header followed
   by zero or more Extended Field Specifiers, which MAY be scope fields.
   These may identify any combination of IANA-assigned and/or
   enterprise-specific Extended Information Elements.

         Template ID of this Template Record.  This value is greater
         than 255.

      Field Count

         Number of all fields in this Template Record, including the
         Scope Fields.

Claise, et al.           Expires August 29, 2013               [Page 10]
Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

      Scope Field Count

         Number of scope fields in this Options Template Record.  The
         Scope Fields are normal Fields except that they are interpreted
         as Scope at the Collector.  The Scope Field Count MUST NOT be
         zero for an Options Template Record.

   As with the Template Record Format, the only difference between the
   standard Options Template Record Format as defined in [RFC5101] and
   the Extended Template Options Record Format is the structure of the
   Extended Field Specifiers (see Section 5.3).

   Due to this difference, Extended Option Template Records MUST NOT be
   exported in IPFIX Set ID 3.  Extended Option Template Records MUST be
   exported in a new IPFIX Set using Set ID TBD2 defined in
   Section 11.1.

   Extended Fields - including both indexed and non-indexed MIB objects
   - may be used as scope fields in an IPFIX Options Template Record.
   When indexed MIB objects are used, the index information is not
   included in the Scope Field Count, since the size of the index
   information is already specified in the Extended Field (see
   Section 5.3.5).  Examples are given in Section 6.9.

5.3.  Extended Field Specifiers

   This section specifies how the Field Specifier format in [RFC5101] is
   extended to allow fields to be defined using a specified MIB object.

   The Field Specifier formats are shown in Figure 6 to Figure 15 below.

5.3.1.  Standard Field Specifier Format

   The Field Specifier format in Figure 6, along with the associated
   definitions, has been copied from [RFC5101], for an easier comparison
   with the Extended Field Specifier Formats in Figure 7 through
   Figure 15.

   When exporting an IANA-assigned and/or enterprise-specific IPFIX
   Information Element identifier in IPFIX per [RFC5101] (ie, using Set
   ID 2 or Set ID 3) the Field Specifier Format is as shown in Figure 6.

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                 Figure 6: Standard Field Specifier format

   Where:

      E

         Enterprise bit.  This is the first bit of the Field Specifier.
         If this bit is zero, the Information Element Identifier
         identifies an IETF specified Information Element, and the four
         octet Enterprise Number field MUST NOT be present.  If this bit
         is one, the Information Element identifier identifies an
         enterprise-specific Information Element, and the Enterprise
         Number filed MUST be present.

      Information Element identifier

         A numeric value that represents the type of the Information
         Element.  Refer to [RFC5102].

      Field Length

         The length of the corresponding encoded Information Element, in
         octets.  Refer to [RFC5102].  The field length may be smaller
         than the definition in [RFC5102] if reduced size encoding is
         used.  The value 65535 is reserved for variable length
         Information Elements.

      Enterprise Number

         IANA enterprise number [PEN] of the authority defining the
         Information Element identifier in this Template Record.

5.3.2.  Extended Field Specifier Format

   When exporting an IANA-assigned and/or enterprise-specific IPFIX
   Extended Information Element identifier (ie, using Set ID TBD1 or Set
   ID TBD2), the Extended Field Specifier format MUST be used.

   The Extended Field Specifier format consists of a Standard Field
   Specifier, followed by zero or more extensions.

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   Each extension consists of a Type, Data Length, Info Length, and
   Info.  The Type indicates which extension it is.  The Data Length
   allows the extension to contribute additional information in Data
   Records, eg an index value.  The Info Length indicates how long the
   Info field is.  The Info field carries one-time additional
   information, eg a MIB OID.

   The Extended Field Specifier format is shown in Figure 7.

      Information Element identifier

         A numeric value that represents the type of the Information
         Element.  Refer to [RFC5102].

      Field Length

         The length of the corresponding encoded Information Element, in
         octets, not including any extension data.  Refer to [RFC5102].
         The field length may be smaller than the definition in
         [RFC5102] if reduced size encoding is used.  The value 65535 is
         reserved for variable length Information Elements.

      Enterprise Number

         IANA enterprise number [PEN] of the authority defining the
         Information Element identifier in this Template Record.

      Extension Length

         The Extension Length indicates the number of extension octets
         (ie the amount of data to the end of the Extended Field
         Specifier), including all the Extension Type, Extension Length,
         Extension Info Length, and Extension Info octets, not including
         the Extension Length itself.  This may be Zero or more.  A
         collector can reach the end of the Extended Field Specifier by
         moving forward this number of octets.

      Extension N Type

         The type of extension N, from the extension types in Table 1.

      Extension N Data Length

         The number of additional octets which Extension N contributes
         to Data Records.  This may be zero or more, and may be encoded
         using IPFIX variable-length encoding per section 7 of
         [RFC5102].

      Extension N Info Length

         The length of the following "Extension N Info" field, if any.
         This may be zero or more.

      Extension N Info

         Additional information associated with extension N.

                                  Object

   Where:

      E

         Enterprise bit.  This is the first bit of the Field Specifier.
         The value is always set to 0, even if the MIB Object Identifier
         is enterprise-specific, because the mibObjectIdentifier
         Information Element is an IANA standard field and is not
         enterprise-specific.

      MIB Object Identifier Information Element

         An IPFIX Information Element ("mibObjectIdentifier") that
         denotes that a MIB Object Identifier is exported in the
         (Options) Template Record.  When the MIB Object Identifier
         Information Element is used, the MIB Object Identifier MUST be
         specified in the Extended Field Specifier for the Collecting
         Process to be able to decode the Records.

         Therefore one extension is appended to identify the MIB object
         which is being exported.

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

      Field Length

         The length of the encoded MIB data in the corresponding Data
         Records, in octets, not including any extension data.  The
         definition is as [RFC5101].  Note that the Field Length can be
         expressed using reduced size encoding per [RFC5101].

      Enterprise Number

         IANA enterprise number [PEN] of the authority defining the
         Information Element identifier in this Template Record.

      Extension Length

         The Extension Length indicates the number of extension octets.

      Extension 1 Type

         The extension type is set to "MIB OID" per the extension types
         in Table 1, indicating that the MIB OID follows in the
         Extension Info.

      Extension 1 Data Length

         Since MIB OIDs contribute no additional octets to Data Records
         above the already specified Field Length, this field is set to
         zero.

      Extension 1 Info Length

         The length of the textual representation of the MIB Object
         Identifier that follows.

      Extension 1 Info

         The textual representation of a MIB Object Identifier as
         defined in Section 4.

5.3.5.  Extended Field Specifier Format for an indexed MIB Object, with
        a MIB OID as index

   The mechanism for "Extended Field Specifier Format for non-indexed
   MIB Object" in Section 5.3.4 can be used for exporting any MIB
   objects, including indexed MIB objects.  However, per the nature of
   indexing in MIB modules, every indexed object is specified by a new
   MIB Object Identifier, which in turn implies that a new Template
   Record must be used for every indexed object.  For example, the
   ifInOctets for the interface represented by the interface ifIndex 1

Claise, et al.           Expires August 29, 2013               [Page 17]
Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   is ifInOctets.1, the ifInOctets for the interface represented by the
   interface ifIndex 2 is ifInOctets.2, ...  This makes the export
   mechanism for "Extended Field Specifier Format for non-indexed MIB
   Object" inefficient when used for indexed MIB objects.  An example is
   shown in Section 6.1.

   When an indexed MIB object is exported in IPFIX, either the meaning
   of the exported value of each index may be identified or the complete
   OID segment identifying the instance can be sent as one piece.  When
   the meaning of each index is identified, this index (or indices) may
   be a MIB Object Identifier (this section), an IPFIX Information
   Element (Section 5.3.6), or another Information Element specified
   elsewhere within the Flow Record (see Section 5.3.7).

   A MIB Object Identifier MAY be used as an index and sent as shown in
   Figure 10.  Note that if a MIB Object Identifier with an index is
   used as an index then IPFIX Structured Data [RFC6313] must be used to
   group the index MIB and its indices together as a single Information
   Element which can be used as an index as described above.  An example
   is shown in Section 6.11.

         Enterprise bit.  This is the first bit of the Field Specifier.
         The value is always set to 0, even if the MIB Object Identifier
         is enterprise-specific, because the mibObjectIdentifier
         Information Element is an IANA standard field and is not
         enterprise-specific.

      MIB Object Identifier Information Element

         An IPFIX Information Element ("mibObjectIdentifier") that
         denotes that a MIB Object Identifier is exported in the
         (Options) Template Record.  When the MIB Object Identifier
         Information Element is used, the MIB Object Identifier MUST be
         specified in the Extended Field Specifier for the Collecting
         Process to be able to decode the Records.

         Therefore two extensions are appended: extension 1 indicates
         the MIB object which is being exported, while extension 2
         identifies the indexing MIB.

      Field Length

         The length of the encoded MIB data in the corresponding Data
         Records, in octets, not including any extension data.  The
         definition is as [RFC5101].  Note that the Field Length can be
         expressed using reduced size encoding per [RFC5101].

      Enterprise Number

         IANA enterprise number [PEN] of the authority defining the
         Information Element identifier in this Template Record.

      Extension Length

         The Extension Length indicates the number of extension octets.

      Extension 1 Type

         The extension type is set to "MIB OID" per the extension types
         in Table 1, indicating that the MIB OID follows in the
         Extension Info.

      Extension 1 Data Length

         Since MIB OIDs contribute no additional octets to Data Records
         above the already specified Field Length, this field is set to
         zero.

         The textual representation of a MIB Object Identifier as
         defined in Section 4.

      Extension 2 Type

         The extension type is set to "MIB Index" per the extension
         types in Table 1, indicating that the MIB OID is indexed by
         another MIB.

      Extension 2 Data Length

         The Extension Data Length indicates the number of additional
         octets which the extension (ie, the MIB index) contributes to
         the corresponding Data Records.  This may be zero or more, and
         may be encoded using IPFIX variable-length encoding per section
         7 of [RFC5102].  The index octets immediately follow the MIB
         OID value in the Data Records.

      Extension 2 Info Length

         The length of the textual representation of the index MIB
         Object Identifier that follows.

      Extension 2 Info

         The textual representation of the index MIB Object Identifier
         as defined in Section 4.

   If the MIB OID has multiple indices, then these are indicated in
   further Extensions similar to Extension 2.

5.3.7.  Extended Field Specifier Format for an indexed MIB Object, with
        a previous IPFIX Information Element as index

   An optimization for the Extended Field Specifier Format for an
   Indexed MIB object as specified in Section 5.3.5 and Section 5.3.6 is
   to use an IPFIX Information Element which is already present in the
   Flow definition as the index for indexed MIB object.  This makes a
   clear link between the Flow Record values and the MIB variable index,
   and avoids repetition of the index.

   For example, if a Flow Record definition contains the source IP
   address, the destination IP address, and the ingressInterface
   Information Element as Flow Keys, this implies that the IP address
   pairs are seen on that specific interface.  If the ifInOctets,
   indexed by that specific interface, is added to the Flow Record, it's
   clear from the Flow Record that the ifInOctets is related to the same
   interface.  If the ifInOctets was indexed by the ifIndex (as
   specified in Section 5.3.5), the Collector would have to hardcode
   that the semantic of ifIndex MIB variable is equivalent to the
   ingressInterface Information Element.

   When an indexed MIB object is exported in IPFIX, the index (or
   indices) MAY be an IPFIX Information Element(s) previously specified
   in the flow record.  Note that this/these IPFIX Information
   Element(s) MAY be enterprise-specific.

   Indexed MIB objects with existing IPFIX Information Elements as
   index, are exported as shown in Figure 14.

         The Extension Length indicates the number of extension octets.

      Extension 1 Type

         The extension type is set to "MIB OID" per the extension types
         in Table 1, indicating that the MIB OID follows in the
         Extension Info.

      Extension 1 Data Length

      Extension 1 Info Length

         The length of the textual representation of the MIB Object
         Identifier that follows.

      Extension 2 Data Length

         Since the indexing Information Element is specified elsewhere
         in the Flow Record, the index contributes no additional octets
         to Data Records above the already specified Field Length.
         Therefore this field is set to zero.

      Extension 2 Info

         The zero-based position of the indexing Information Element
         within this Flow Record, as would be specified by an
         informationElementIndex element.  This MUST be a previous
         Information Element (ie, one which is specified earlier in the
         Flow Record) so that the index value is already known.

   If the MIB OID has multiple indices, then these are indicated in
   further Extensions similar to Extension 2.

5.3.8.  Extended Field Specifier Format for an Indexed MIB Object, with
        an IPFIX Information Element for the OID segment identifying the
        instance

   When MIB objects are to be exported, the Exporter may need to
   interact with the MIB instrumentation in an SNMP agent to obtain the
   required information.  For some SNMP agents, the MIB instrumentation
   by design does not have knowledge of the OID of the indice(s) that
   identify the instance of the MIB object being accessed.  For example,
   when accessing a MIB object ifInOctets.10, the MIB instrumentation
   code may not know that the object ifInOctets is indexed by ifIndex,
   it is sufficient for it to map the value (10) of the ifIndex to an
   interface on the device.  For such SNMP agents, the Exporter can not
   use the methods described in Section 5.3.5, Section 5.3.6, and
   Section 5.3.7 without making extensive changes to the existing MIB
   instrumentation.

   An alternate method for exporting Indexed MIB objects in such cases
   is to convey only the value(s) of the indice(s) that identify the
   instances being exported.  The index count and OIDs of the indice(s)
   are not conveyed in the IPFIX template record.  The Collecting
   Process is assumed to have the intelligence to understand how the
   exported objects are indexed.  For example, it can either compile
   this information from the MIB Module where this object type is
   defined or it may be hardcoded with this information for specific MIB
   objects that are of interest to it.

   The object identifier of the indexed MIB object is split into two
   parts.  The first part is the OID prefix which is the OID of the
   corresponding object type.  This is exported as a "MIB OID" in an
   Extended Field Specifier as shown earlier.  TODO: insert xref.

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   The second part is the OID segment identifying the instance.  The
   "MIB Instance Identifier" extension type is defined for conveying the
   instance identification segment of an indexed MIB object's OID in
   string format.  While the OID prefix is sent in the template record,
   the instance identifier segment is sent in the Data Record.  Since
   the instance identifier segment of the MIB OID is in the data-record,
   the same template record can be used for exporting different
   instances of the same MIB object.

   Indexed MIB objects with a MIB Instance Identifier as index are
   exported as shown in Figure 15:

         enterprise-specific.

      MIB Object Identifier Information Element

         An IPFIX Information Element ("mibObjectIdentifier") that
         denotes that a MIB Object Identifier is exported in the
         (Options) Template Record.  When the MIB Object Identifier
         Information Element is used, the MIB Object Identifier MUST be
         specified in the Extended Field Specifier for the Collecting
         Process to be able to decode the Records.

         Therefore two extensions are appended: extension 1 indicates
         the MIB object which is being exported, while extension 2
         identifies the indexing MIB instance.

      Field Length

         The length of the encoded MIB data in the corresponding Data
         Records, in octets, not including any extension data.  The
         definition is as [RFC5101].  Note that the Field Length can be
         expressed using reduced size encoding per [RFC5101].

      Enterprise Number

         IANA enterprise number [PEN] of the authority defining the
         Information Element identifier in this Template Record.

      Extension Length

         The Extension Length indicates the number of extension octets.

      Extension 1 Type

         The extension type is set to "MIB OID" per the extension types
         in Table 1, indicating that the MIB OID follows in the
         Extension Info.

      Extension 1 Data Length

         Since MIB OIDs contribute no additional octets to Data Records
         above the already specified Field Length, this field is set to
         zero.

      Extension 1 Info Length

         The length of the textual representation of the MIB Object
         Identifier that follows.

Claise, et al.           Expires August 29, 2013               [Page 29]
Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

      Extension 1 Info

         The textual representation of a MIB Object Identifier as
         defined in Section 4.

      Extension 2 Type

         The extension type is set to "MIB Instance Identifier" per the
         extension types in Table 1, indicating that the MIB OID is
         indexed by a MIB Instance.

      Extension 2 Data Length

         The Extension Data Length indicates how many octets the MIB
         Instance Identifier contributes to the corresponding Data
         Record.  The index octets immediately follow the MIB OID value
         in the Data Record.  Reduced size encoding or variable length
         encoding may be used.

      Extension 2 Info Length

         Since the MIB Instance Identifier is sent in Data Records, this
         extension contains no additional Info.  Therefore the Info
         Length is zero.

      Extension 2 Info

         Since the MIB Instance Identifier is sent in Data Records, this
         extension contains no additional Info.

5.4.  Identifying the SNMP Context

   Each MIB OID is looked up in a specific context, usually the default
   context.  If exporting a MIB OID value that isn't in the default
   context then the context string MUST be identified and associated
   with the MIB OID.  This can be done on a per template basis by
   exporting an Options Template Record.

   A new IPFIX Information Element, "mibContextIdentifier" has been
   allocated for this purpose.  See Section 11.

5.5.  Template Management

   Templates are managed as per [RFC5101].

   The Set ID field MUST contain the value TBD1 for any Template Set
   that contains an Extended Field Specifier.  The Template Withdrawal
   Message for such a Template must also use a Set ID field containing

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   the value TBD1.

   The Set ID field MUST contain the value TBD2 for any Option Template
   Set that contains an Extended Field Specifier.  The Template
   Withdrawal Message for such an Option Template must also use a Set ID
   field containing the value TBD2.

6.  Example Use Cases

6.1.  Without Using the Specifications in this Document

   This example shows the need for indexed MIB objects using the example
   of exporting ifInOctets from Section 5.3.5.  Note that ifInOctets.1
   has the MIB Object Identifier 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1

   A Template Record for exporting the ifInOctets for the interface
   represented by the interface ifIndex 1 (i.e., ifInOctets.1) is shown
   in Figure 16.  While this may be useful for exporting the single
   ifInOctets.1 field, clearly additional Templates are required in
   order to export ifInOctets.2, ifInOctets.3, etc.  Therefore Indexed
   MIB objects (per Section 5.3.5) are required in order to export
   arbitrary ifInOctets.x.

6.2.  Non-indexed MIB Object: Established TCP Connections

   The number of established TCP connections of a remote network device
   could be monitored by configuring it to periodically export the
   number of established TCP connections to a centralized Collector.  In
   this example, the Exporter would export an IPFIX Message every 30
   minutes that contained Data Records detailing the number of
   established TCP connections.

   The table of data that is to be exported looks like:

            +-------------------------+-----------------------+
            |        TIMESTAMP        | ESTABLISHED TCP CONN. |
            +-------------------------+-----------------------+
            | StartTime +   0 seconds |           10          |
            | StartTime +  60 seconds |           14          |
            | StartTime + 120 seconds |           19          |
            | StartTime + 180 seconds |           16          |
            | StartTime + 240 seconds |           23          |
            | StartTime + 300 seconds |           29          |
            +-------------------------+-----------------------+

                   Table 2: Established TCP Connections

   The Template Record for such a Data Record will detail two
   Information Elements:

   1.  flowStartSeconds from [RFC5102], Information Element 150: The
       absolute timestamp of the first packet of this Flow.

   2.  tcpCurrEstab from [RFC4022], Object ID "1.3.6.1.2.1.6.9": The
       number of TCP connections for which the current state is either
       ESTABLISHED or CLOSE-WAIT.

   Figure 17 shows the exported Template Set detailing the Template
   Record for exporting the number of established TCP connections (see
   Section 6.2).

6.3.  Enterprise Specific MIB Object: Detailing CPU Load History

   For the sake of demonstrating a enterprise-specific MIB object, a
   non-indexed MIB object is chosen for simplicity.  The CPU Usage of a
   remote network device could be monitored by configuring it to
   periodically export CPU usage information, i.e. the
   cpmCPUTotal1minRev from the proprietary CISCO-PROCESS-MIB, Object ID
   "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.7", to a centralized Collector.  In this
   example, the Exporter would export an IPFIX Message every 30 minutes
   that contained Data Records detailing the CPU 1 minute busy average
   at 1 minute intervals.

   The table of data that is to be exported looks like:

   Note that although cpmCPUTotal1minRev is 32 bits long, reduced size
   encoding ([RFC5101]) has been used to encoded it within a single
   octet.

   This example stresses that, even though the OID cpmCPUTotal1minRev is
   enterprise-specific, the E bit for the mibObjectIdentifier is set to
   "0" since the "mibObjectIdentifier" Information Element is not
   enterprise-specific.

   The corresponding Data Set does not add any value for this example,
   and is therefore not displayed.

6.4.  Indexed MIB Object with Two OIDs: The ipIfStatsInForwDatagrams

   MIB objects may be indexed by multiple indices.  Note that all the
   indices apply to the MIB object, i.e. index 2 is not an index of
   index 1.  (If that was the case, then IPFIX Structured Data [RFC6313]
   must be used to group the indices.)

   This example shows the export of ipIfStatsInForwDatagrams from the
   IP-MIB [RFC4293] indexed by the ipIfStatsIPVersion and
   ipIfStatsIfIndex which are provided as scope fields in an IPFIX
   option.  Note that since these fields are used as indices for
   ipIfStatsInForwDatagrams, they don't need their own indices to be
   identified.

   The Options Template Record for the example Data Record contains the

6.5.  Indexed MIB Object with an IPFIX Information Element: Output
      Interface Queue Size in PSAMP Packet Report

   If a PSAMP Packet Report [RFC5476] was generated on any dropped
   packets on an interface then it may be desirable to know if the send
   queue on the output interface was full.  This could be done be
   exporting the size of the send queue (ifOutQLen) in the same Data
   Record as the PSAMP Packet Report.

   The exported data looks like:

   +-----------+-----------+--------+------------+---------------------+
   |  SRC ADDR |  DST ADDR |   PAK  | OUTPUT I/F |    OUTPUT Q. LEN    |
   |           |           |   LEN  |            |     (ifOutQLen)     |

   |           |           |        |    (15)    |                     |

   |           |           |        |    (15)    |                     |
   | 192.0.2.3 | 192.0.2.9 |   650  |   Eth 1/0  |          23         |
   |           |           |        |    (15)    |                     |
   | 192.0.2.4 | 192.0.2.6 |   350  |   Eth 1/1  |           0         |
   |           |           |        |    (16)    |                     |

   Table 4: Packet Report with Interface Output Queue Length (ifOutQLen)
                                   Data

   The MIB object for the Interface Output Queue Length, ifOutQLen
   ("1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.21"), is indexed by the ifIndex interface index
   as detailed in the IF-MIB [RFC2863].  If, for example, the interface
   index of "Eth 1/0" in the example is 15, the full MIB Object
   Identifier for (ifOutQLen) would be "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.21.15".
   Without a method to specify the index the full MIB OID would have to
   be used, which would mean specifying a new Template Record.  Rather
   than export a separate Template Record for each Interface Index, it
   is more practical to identify the index in the Data Record itself.

   In fact, only how the indexed object was indexed is necessary,
   although it is often useful to specify the index value.  The example
   identifies the Egress Interface, but for other uses it may be
   sufficient to know that the ifOutQLen value was taken for the
   interface that the packet was switched out of, without identifying

   Following on the example from the previous section (see Section 6.5),
   if the Template Record for the example Data Record does not contain

   The MIB object ipIfStatsOutOctets ("1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.32"), is
   indexed by ipIfStatsIPVersion and ipIfStatsIfIndex as detailed in IP-
   MIB [RFC4293].  The instance of the ipIfStatsOutOctets for the IPv4
   protocol on the interface identified by ifIndex 10 is identified in
   the Data Record with the instance identifier segment ("1.10") in
   string format, while the instance of the ipIfStatsOutOctets for the
   IPv6 protocol on the interface identified by ifIndex 11 is identified
   in the Data Record with the instance identifier segment ("2.11") in
   string format.

6.9.  Using MIB Objects as IPFIX Options Scope fields

   Both indexed and non-indexed MIB Objects may be used as IPFIX Options
   Scope fields as discussed in Section 5.2.

6.9.1.  Using non-Indexed MIB Objects as Option Scope fields

   In this example, a Cisco Telepresence system uses an IPFIX option to
   report bandwidth usage statistics.  The ctpcLocalAddrType and
   ctpcLocalAddr OIDs from the CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-CALL MIB are used as
   scope fields to identify the Telepresence system.  The
   ctpcLocalAddrType is expressed with a fixed size of 1 octet, while
   the ctpcLocalAddr is expressed using a variable length field.

   These scope fields are followed by two non-scope fields containing
   the number of packets and bytes.  IPFIX reduced size encoding is used
   to express each of these fields in 32 bits.

   Therefore the Options Template Record for the example Data Record
   contains the following Information Elements:

   1.  ctpcLocalAddrType (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.644.1.2.1) (scope field)

   2.  ctpcLocalAddr (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.644.1.2.2) (scope field)

   3.  octetDeltaCount (non-scope field)

   4.  packetDeltaCount (non-scope field)

                        MIB Objects as scope fields

6.9.2.  Using Indexed MIB Objects as Option Scope fields

   In this example, interface statistics are reported using ifName and
   ifInOctets from the IF-MIB [RFC2863].  Both of these fields are
   indexed by the ifIndex.  The ifName and ifIndex are scope fields.

   Therefore the Options Template Record for the example Data Record
   contains the following Information Elements:

   1.  ifIndex (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1) (scope field)

   2.  ifName (1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1) (scope field) indexed by ifIndex

   3.  ifInOctets (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10) (non-scope field) indexed by
       ifIndex

   The IPFIX Options Template Record is shown in Figure 29.

6.10.  Using MIB Objects with IPFIX Structured Data

   It's possible to export both indexed and non-indexed MIB objects
   using IPFIX Structured Data per [RFC6313] as shown in the example
   below.

   TODO: insert example.

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

6.11.  Using IPFIX Structured Data to group the index MIB and indices

   TODO: insert example.

7.  Configuration Considerations

   When configuring a MIB OID for export, consideration should be given
   to whether the SNMP Context String should also be configurable.  If a
   non-default Context String is used then it should be associated with
   the fields as per Section 5.4.

8.  The Collecting Process's Side

   This section describes the Collecting Process when using SCTP and PR-
   SCTP as the transport protocol.  Any necessary changes to the
   Collecting Process specifically related to TCP or UDP transport
   protocols are specified in section 10 of [RFC5101].

   The specifications in section 9 of [RFC5101] also apply to
   Collector's that implement this specification.  In addition, the
   following specifications should be noted.

   A Collecting Process that implements this specification MUST be able
   to receive Set IDs TBD1 and TBD2, as specified in this document.

   A Collecting Process that implements this specification MUST have
   access to MIB modules in order to look up the received MIB Object
   Identifiers and find the type and name of MIB OID fields used in
   received templates.  It should be noted that since reduced size
   encoding MAY be used by the Exporting Process then the Collecting
   Process cannot assume a received size for a field is the maximum size
   it should expect for that field.

   If a Collecting Process receives a MIB Object Identifier that it
   cannot decode, it SHOULD log an error.

   If a Collecting Process receives a MIB Object Identifier for an
   indexed MIB object but isn't sent the appropriate number of indices
   then it SHOULD log an error, but it MAY use the Template Record to
   decode the Data Records as the associated indices are purely semantic
   information.

9.  Applicability

   Making available the many and varied items from MIB modules opens up

Claise, et al.           Expires August 29, 2013               [Page 53]
Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

   a wide range of possible applications for the IPFIX protocol, some
   quite different from the usual flow information.  Some potential
   enhancements for traditional applications are detailed below:

   Some monitoring applications periodically export an interface id to
   interface name mapping using IPFIX Options Templates.  This could be
   expanded to include the MIB object "ifInUcastPkts" of the IF-MIB
   [RFC2863] indexed using the ingressInterface Information Element, as
   a index.  This would give the input statistics for each interface
   which can be compared to the flow information to ensure the sampling
   rate is expected.  Or, if there is no sampling, to ensure that all
   the expected packets are being monitored.

10.  Security Considerations

   For this extension to the IPFIX protocol, the same security
   considerations as for the IPFIX protocol apply [RFC5101].

   The access to MIB objects is controlled by the configuration of the
   IPFIX exporter.  This is consistent with the way IPFIX controls
   access to other Information Elements in general.  The configuration
   of an IPFIX exporter determines which MIB objects are included in
   IPFIX flow records sent to certain collectors.  Network operators
   should take care that only MIB objects are included in IPFIX flow
   records that the receiving flow collector is allowed to receive.

11.  IANA Considerations

11.1.  New Set IDs

   IPFIX Messages use two fields with assigned values.  These are the
   IPFIX Version Number, indicating which version of the IPFIX Protocol
   was used to export an IPFIX Message, and the IPFIX Set ID, indicating
   the type of each set of information within an IPFIX Message.

   The previously reserved Set ID values of TBD1 and TBD2 are allocated
   in IANA's IPFIX Set IDs registry [IANA-SETS], and are used as
   specified in this document.

11.2.  New Data Types

   A new mibObject data type must be allocated in IANA's IPFIX
   Information Element Data Types registry, [IANA-DATATYPES].

   A new mibContext data type must be allocated in IANA's IPFIX
   Information Element Data Types registry, [IANA-DATATYPES].

Internet-Draft     Exporting MIB Variables with IPFIX      February 2013

11.3.  New Information Elements

   A new Information Element "mibObjectIdentifier" must be allocated in
   IANA's IPFIX registry, [IANA-IPFIX], with the following definition:

   MIB Object Identifier

        Description: An IPFIX Information Element
        ("mibObjectIdentifier") that denotes that a MIB Object
        Identifier is exported in the (Options) Template Record.

        Abstract Data Type: mibObject

        Data Type Semantics: identifier

        ElementId: TBD3

        Status: current

        Reference: [this document].

   A new Information Element "mibContextIdentifier" must be allocated in
   IANA's IPFIX registry, [IANA-IPFIX], with the following definition:

   MIB Context Identifier

        Description: An IPFIX Information Element
        ("mibObjectIdentifier") that denotes that a MIB Context
        Identifier is exported in the (Options) Template Record.

        Abstract Data Type: mibContext

        Data Type Semantics: identifier

        ElementId: TBD4

        Status: current

        Reference: [this document].

11.4.  New Extension Types registry

   A new registry must be defined from the extension types in Table 1.
   New extension types may be added to the registry subject to Expert
   Review [RFC5226] by the assigned IPFIX Experts.
