          3.  The Network Management Framework

          The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of
          three components.  They are:

          RFC 1155[1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
          describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
          RFC 1212[2] defines a more concise description mechanism,
          which is wholly consistent with the SMI.

          RFC 1213[3] which defines MIB-II, the core set of managed
          objects for the Internet suite of protocols.

          RFC 1157[4] which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for
          network access to managed objects.

          The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the
          purpose of experimentation and evaluation.

          Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store,
          termed the Management Information Base or MIB.  Within a given
          MIB module, objects are defined using RFC 1212's OBJECT-TYPE
          macro.  At a minimum, each object has a name, a syntax, an
          access-level, and an implementation-status.

          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[5]
          language is used for this purpose.  However, RFC 1155
          purposely restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used.
          These restrictions are explicitly made for simplicity.

          The access-level of an object type defines whether it makes
          "protocol sense" to read and/or write the value of an instance
          of the object type.  (This access-level is independent of any
          administrative authorization policy.)

          The implementation-status of an object type indicates whether
          the object is mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated.

          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

          4.  Overview

          Remote network monitoring devices are instruments that exist
          for the purpose of managing a network.  Often these remote
          probes are stand-alone devices and devote significant internal
          resources for the sole purpose of managing a network.  An
          organization may employ many of these devices, one per network
          segment, to manage its internet.  In addition, these devices
          may be used for a network management service provider to
          access a client network, often geographically remote.

          The objects defined in this document are intended as an
          interface between an RMON agent and an RMON management
          application and is not intended for direct manipulation by
          humans.  While some users may tolerate the direct display of
          some of these objects, few will tolerate the complexity of
          manually manipulating objects to accomplish row creation.
          These functions should be handled by the management
          application.

          While many of the objects in this document are suitable for
          the management of any type of network, there are some which
          are specific to managing Ethernet networks.  The design of
          this MIB allows similar objects to be defined for other
          network types.  It is intended that future versions of this
          document will define extensions for other network types such
          as Token Ring and FDDI.

          4.1.  Remote Network Management Goals

              o Offline Operation
                  There are sometimes conditions when a management
                  station will not be in constant contact with its
                  remote monitoring devices.  This is sometimes by
                  design in an attempt to lower communications costs
                  (especially when communicating over a WAN or
                  dialup link), or by accident as network failures
                  affect the communications between the management
                  station and the probe.

                  For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be
                  configured to perform diagnostics and to collect
                  statistics continuously, even when communication with
                  the management station may not be possible or

          Steven Waldbusser    Expires Dec 17, 1994             [Page 4]



          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

                  efficient.  The probe may then attempt to notify
                  the management station when an exceptional condition
                  occurs.  Thus, even in circumstances where
                  communication between management station and probe is
                  not continuous, fault, performance, and configuration
                  information may be continuously accumulated and
                  communicated to the management station conveniently
                  and efficiently.

              o Proactive Monitoring
                  Given the resources available on the monitor, it
                  is potentially helpful for it continuously to run
                  diagnostics and to log network performance.  The
                  monitor is always available at the onset of any
                  failure.  It can notify the management station of the
                  failure and can store historical statistical
                  information about the failure.  This historical
                  information can be played back by the management
                  station in an attempt to perform further diagnosis
                  into the cause of the problem.

              o Problem Detection and Reporting
                  The monitor can be configured to recognize
                  conditions, most notably error conditions, and
                  continuously to check for them.  When one of these
                  conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and
                  management stations may be notified in a number of
                  ways.

              o Value Added Data
                  Because a remote monitoring device represents a
                  network resource dedicated exclusively to network
                  management functions, and because it is located
                  directly on the monitored portion of the network, the
                  remote network monitoring device has the opportunity
                  to add significant value to the data it collects.
                  For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the
                  network that generate the most traffic or errors, the
                  probe can give the management station precisely the
                  information it needs to solve a class of problems.

              o Multiple Managers
                  An organization may have multiple management stations
                  for different units of the organization, for different
                  functions (e.g. engineering and operations), and in an

          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

                  attempt to provide disaster recovery.  Because
                  environments with multiple management stations are
                  common, the remote network monitoring device has to
                  deal with more than own management station,
                  potentially using its resources concurrently.

          4.2.  Textual Conventions

          Two new data types are introduced as a textual convention in
          this MIB document.  These textual conventions enhance the
          readability of the specification and can ease comparison with
          other specifications if appropriate.  It should be noted that
          the introduction of the these textual conventions has no
          effect on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed
          objects.  The use of these is merely an artifact of the
          explanatory method used.  Objects defined in terms of one of
          these methods are always encoded by means of the rules that
          define the primitive type.  Hence, no changes to the SMI or
          the SNMP are necessary to accommodate these textual
          conventions which are adopted merely for the convenience of
          readers and writers in pursuit of the elusive goal of clear,
          concise, and unambiguous MIB documents.

          The new data types are: OwnerString and EntryStatus.

          4.3.  Structure of MIB

          The objects are arranged into the following groups:

                  - ethernet statistics

                  - history control

                  - ethernet history

                  - alarm

                  - host

                  - hostTopN

                  - matrix

                  - filter

          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

                  - packet capture

                  - event

          These groups are the basic unit of conformance.  If a remote
          monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement
          all objects in that group.  For example, a managed agent that
          implements the host group must implement the hostControlTable,
          the hostTable and the hostTimeTable.

          All groups in this MIB are optional.  Implementations of this
          MIB must also implement the system and interfaces group of
          MIB-II [6].  MIB-II may also mandate the implementation of
          additional groups.

          These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning
          object identifiers, and to provide a method for managed agents
          to know which objects they must implement.

          4.3.1.  The Ethernet Statistics Group

          The ethernet statistics group contains statistics measured by
          the probe for each monitored Ethernet interface on this
          device.  This group consists of the etherStatsTable.  In the
          future other groups will be defined for other media types
          including Token Ring and FDDI.  These groups should follow the
          same model as the ethernet statistics group.

          4.3.2.  The History Control Group

          The history control group controls the periodic statistical
          sampling of data from various types of networks.  This group
          consists of the historyControlTable.

          4.3.3.  The Ethernet History Group

          The ethernet history group records periodic statistical
          samples from an ethernet network and stores them for later
          retrieval.  This group consists of the etherHistoryTable.  In
          the future, other groups will be defined for other media types
          including Token Ring and FDDI.

          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

          4.3.4.  The Alarm Group

          The alarm group periodically takes statistical samples from
          variables in the probe and compares them to previously
          configured thresholds.  If the monitored variable crosses a
          threshold, an event is generated.  A hysteresis mechanism is
          implemented to limit the generation of alarms.  This group
          consists of the alarmTable and requires the implementation of
          the event group.

          4.3.5.  The Host Group

          The host group contains statistics associated with each host
          discovered on the network.  This group discovers hosts on the
          network by keeping a list of source and destination MAC
          Addresses seen in good packets promiscuously received from the
          network.  This group consists of the hostControlTable, the
          hostTable, and the hostTimeTable.

          4.3.6.  The HostTopN Group

          The hostTopN group is used to prepare reports that describe
          the hosts that top a list ordered by one of their statistics.
          The available statistics are samples of one of their base
          statistics over an interval specified by the management
          station.  Thus, these statistics are rate based.  The
          management station also selects how many such hosts are
          reported.  This group consists of the hostTopNControlTable and
          the hostTopNTable, and requires the implementation of the host
          group.

          4.3.7.  The Matrix Group

          The matrix group stores statistics for conversations between
          sets of two addresses.  As the device detects a new
          conversation, it creates a new entry in its tables.  This
          group consists of the matrixControlTable, the matrixSDTable
          and the matrixDSTable.

          4.3.8.  The Filter Group

          The filter group allows packets to be matched by a filter
          equation.  These matched packets form a data stream that may
          be captured or may generate events.  This group consists of
          the filterTable and the channelTable.

          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

          4.3.9.  The Packet Capture Group

          The Packet Capture group allows packets to be captured after
          they flow through a channel.  This group consists of the
          bufferControlTable and the captureBufferTable, and requires
          the implementation of the filter group.

          4.3.10.  The Event Group

          The event group controls the generation and notification of
          events from this device.  This group consists of the
          eventTable and the logTable.

          5.  Control of Remote Network Monitoring Devices

          Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these
          devices, the functions often need user configuration.  In many
          cases, the function requires parameters to be set up for a
          data collection operation.  The operation can proceed only
          after these parameters are fully set up.

          Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in
          which to set up control parameters, and one or more data
          tables in which to place the results of the operation.  The
          control tables are typically read-write in nature, while the
          data tables are typically read-only.  Because the parameters
          in the control table often describe resulting data in the data
          table, many of the parameters can be modified only when the
          control entry is invalid.  Thus, the method for modifying
          these parameters is to invalidate the control entry, causing
          its deletion and the deletion of any associated data entries,
          and then create a new control entry with the proper
          parameters.  Deleting the control entry also gives a
          convenient method for reclaiming the resources used by the
          associated data.

          Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an
          action on the remote monitoring device.  These objects may
          execute an action as a result of a change in the state of the
          object.  For those objects in this MIB, a request to set an
          object to the same value as it currently holds would thus
          cause no action to occur.

          To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to
          be shared among the managers.  These resources are typically
          the memory and computation resources that a function requires.

          5.1.  Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Stations

          When multiple management stations wish to use functions that
          compete for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method
          to facilitate this sharing of resources is required.
          Potential conflicts include:

              o Two management stations wish to simultaneously use
                resources that together would exceed the capability of
                the device.

          Steven Waldbusser    Expires Dec 17, 1994            [Page 10]



          Internet Draft  Remote Network Monitoring MIB    June 17, 1994

              o A management station uses a significant amount of
                resources for a long period of time.
              o A management station uses resources and then crashes,
                forgetting to free the resources so others may
                use them.

          A mechanism is provided for each management station initiated
          function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help
          resolve them when they occur.  Each function has a label
          identifying the initiator (owner) of the function.  This label
          is set by the initiator to provide for the following
          possibilities:

              o A management station may recognize resources it owns
                and no longer needs.
              o A network operator can find the management station that
                owns the resource and negotiate for it to be freed.
              o A network operator may decide to unilaterally free
                resources another network operator has reserved.
              o Upon initialization, a management station may recognize
                resources it had reserved in the past.  With this
                information it may free the resources if it no longer
                needs them.

          Management stations and probes should support any format of
          the owner string dictated by the local policy of the
          organization.  It is suggested that this name contain one or
          more of the following: IP address, management station name,
          network manager's name, location, or phone number.  This
          information will help users to share the resources more
          effectively.

          There is often default functionality that the device wishes to
          set up.  The resources associated with this functionality are
          then owned by the device itself.  In this case, the device
          will set the relevant owner object to a string starting with
          'monitor'.  Indiscriminate modification of the monitor-owned
          configuration by network management stations is discouraged.
          In fact, a network management station should only modify these
          objects under the direction of the administrator of the probe,
          often the network administrator.

          When a network management station wishes to utilize a function
          in a monitor, it is encouraged to first scan the control table
          of that function to find an instance with similar parameters

          to share.  This is especially true for those instances owned
          by the monitor, which can be assumed to change infrequently.
          If a management station decides to share an instance owned by
          another management station, it should understand that the
          management station that owns the instance may indiscriminately
          modify or delete it.

          5.2.  Row Addition Among Multiple Management Stations

          The addition of new rows is achieved using the method
          described in [9].  In this MIB, rows are often added to a
          table in order to configure a function.  This configuration
          usually involves parameters that control the operation of the
          function.  The agent must check these parameters to make sure
          they are appropriate given restrictions defined in this MIB as
          well as any implementation specific restrictions such as lack
          of resources.  The agent implementor may be confused as to
          when to check these parameters and when to signal to the
          management station that the parameters are invalid.  There are
          two opportunities:

              o When the management station sets each parameter object.

              o When the management station sets the entry status object
                to valid.

          If the latter is chosen, it would be unclear to the management
          station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused
          the badValue error to be emitted.  Thus, wherever possible,
          the implementor should choose the former as it will provide
          more information to the management station.

          A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt
          to set configuration information simultaneously using SNMP.
          When this involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the
          same control table, the managers may collide, attempting to
          create the same entry.  To guard against these collisions,
          each such control entry contains a status object with special
          semantics that help to arbitrate among the managers.  If an
          attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to create such
          a status object and that object already exists, an error is
          returned.  When more than one manager simultaneously attempts
          to create the same conceptual row, only the first will
          succeed.  The others will receive an error.

          Some tables in this MIB reference other tables within this
          MIB.  When creating or deleting entries in these tables, it is
          generally allowable for dangling references to exist.  There
          is no defined order for creating or deleting entries in these
          tables.

          6.  Conventions

          The following conventions are used throughout the RMON MIB and
          its companion documents.

          Good Packets

          Good packets are error-free packets that have a valid frame
          length.  For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free
          packets that are between 64 octets long and 1518 octets long.
          They follow the form defined in IEEE 802.3 section 3.2.all.

          Bad Packets

          Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and are
          therefore recognized as packets, but contain errors withing
          the packet or have an invalid length.  For example, on
          Ethernet, bad packets have a valid preamble and SFD, but have
          a bad CRC, or are either shorter than 64 octets or longer than
          1518 octets.

                  "The best estimate of the total number of collisions
                  on this Ethernet segment.

                  The value returned will depend on the location of the
                  RMON probe. Section 8.2.1.3 (10BASE-5) and section
                  10.3.1.3 (10BASE-2) of IEEE standard 802.3 states that a
                  station must detect a collision, in the receive mode, if
                  three or more stations are transmitting simultaneously.  A
                  repeater port must detect a collision when two or more
                  stations are transmitting simultaneously.  Thus a probe
                  placed on a repeater port could record more collisions
                  than a probe connected to a station on the same segment
                  would.

                  Probe location plays a much smaller role when considering
                  10BASE-T.  14.2.1.4 (10BASE-T) of IEEE standard 802.3
                  defines a collision as the simultaneous presence of signals
                  on the DO and RD circuits (transmitting and receiving
                  at the same time).  A 10BASE-T station can only detect
                  collisions when it is transmitting.  Thus probes placed on
                  a station and a repeater, should report the same number of
                  collisions.

                  Note also that an RMON probe inside a repeater should
                  ideally report collisions between the repeater and one or
                  more other hosts (transmit collisions as defined by IEEE
                  802.3k) plus receiver collisions observed on any coax

          -- historyControl table stores configuration entries that each
          -- define an interface, polling period, and other parameters.
          -- Once samples are taken, their data is stored in an entry
          -- in a media-specific table.  Each such entry defines one
          -- sample, and is associated with the historyControlEntry that
          -- caused the sample to be taken.
          --
          -- If the probe keeps track of the time of day, it should start
          -- the first sample of the history at a time such that
          -- when the next hour of the day begins, a sample is
          -- started at that instant.  This tends to make more

                  interval.

                  The value returned will depend on the location of the
                  RMON probe. Section 8.2.1.3 (10BASE-5) and section
                  10.3.1.3 (10BASE-2) of IEEE standard 802.3 states that a
                  station must detect a collision, in the receive mode, if
                  three or more stations are transmitting simultaneously.  A
                  repeater port must detect a collision when two or more
                  stations are transmitting simultaneously.  Thus a probe
                  placed on a repeater port could record more collisions
                  than a probe connected to a station on the same segment
                  would.

                  Probe location plays a much smaller role when considering
                  10BASE-T.  14.2.1.4 (10BASE-T) of IEEE standard 802.3
                  defines a collision as the simultaneous presence of signals

          -- The Alarm Group

          -- Implementation of the Alarm group is optional.
          --
          -- The Alarm Group requires the implementation of the Event group.
          --
          -- The Alarm group periodically takes statistical samples from
          -- variables in the probe and compares them to thresholds that have
          -- been configured.  The alarm table stores configuration
          -- entries that each define a variable, polling period, and
          -- threshold parameters.  If a sample is found to cross the
          -- threshold values, an event is generated.  Only variables that
          -- resolve to an ASN.1 primitive type of INTEGER (INTEGER, Counter,
          -- Gauge, or TimeTicks) may be monitored in this way.
          --
          -- This function has a hysteresis mechanism to limit the generation
          -- of events.  This mechanism generates one event as a threshold
          -- is crossed in the appropriate direction.  No more events are
          -- generated for that threshold until the opposite threshold is
          -- crossed.
          --
          -- In the case of a sampling a deltaValue, a probe may implement
          -- this mechanism with more precision if it takes a delta sample
          -- twice per period, each time comparing the sum of the latest two
          -- samples to the threshold.  This allows the detection of threshold
          -- crossings that span the sampling boundary.  Note that this does
          -- not require any special configuration of the threshold value.
          -- It is suggested that probes implement this more precise algorithm.

          -- The Host Group

          -- Implementation of the Host group is optional.
          --
          -- The host group discovers new hosts on the network by
          -- keeping a list of source and destination MAC Addresses seen
          -- in good packets.  For each of these addresses, the host group
          -- keeps a set of statistics.  The hostControlTable controls
          -- which interfaces this function is performed on, and contains
          -- some information about the process.  On behalf of each
          -- hostControlEntry, data is collected on an interface and placed
          -- in both the hostTable and the hostTimeTable.  If the
          -- monitoring device finds itself short of resources, it may
          -- delete entries as needed.  It is suggested that the device
          -- delete the least recently used entries first.

          -- The hostTable contains entries for each address discovered on
          -- a particular interface.  Each entry contains statistical
          -- data about that host.  This table is indexed by the
          -- MAC address of the host, through which a random access
          -- may be achieved.

          -- The hostTimeTable contains data in the same format as the
          -- hostTable, and must contain the same set of hosts, but is
          -- indexed using hostTimeCreationOrder rather than hostAddress.
          -- The hostTimeCreationOrder is an integer which reflects
          -- the relative order in which a particular entry was discovered
          -- and thus inserted into the table.  As this order, and thus
          -- the index, is among those entries currently in the table,
          -- the index for a particular entry may change if an
          -- (earlier) entry is deleted.  Thus the association between
          -- hostTimeCreationOrder and hostTimeEntry may be broken at
          -- any time.

          -- The hostTimeTable has two important uses.  The first is the
          -- fast download of this potentially large table.  Because the
          -- index of this table runs from 1 to the size of the table,
          -- inclusive, its values are predictable.  This allows very
          -- efficient packing of variables into SNMP PDU's and allows
          -- a table transfer to have multiple packets outstanding.

          -- The Matrix group consists of the matrixControlTable, matrixSDTable

          -- detects a new conversation, including those to a non-unicast
          -- address, it creates a new entry in both of the matrix tables.
          -- It must only create new entries based on information
          -- received in good packets.  If the monitoring device finds
          -- itself short of resources, it may delete entries as needed.
          -- It is suggested that the device delete the least recently used
          -- entries first.

                  The only bits relevant to this match algorithm are those that
                  have the corresponding filterPktStatusMask bit equal to one.
                  The following two rules are then applied to every packet:

                  (1) For each relevant bit from the packet status with the
                      corresponding filterPktStatusNotMask bit set to zero, if
                      the bit from the packet status is not equal to the
                      corresponding bit from the filterPktStatus, then the
                      packet will fail this status match.

                  (2) If for every relevant bit from the packet status with the
                      corresponding filterPktStatusNotMask bit set to one, the
                      bit from the packet status is equal to the corresponding
                      bit from the filterPktStatus, then the packet will fail
                      this status match.

                  Any packets that have not failed either of the two matches
                  above have passed this status match.  In particular, a zero
                  length status filter will match any packet's status.

                  The value of the packet status is a sum.  This sum
                  initially takes the value zero.  Then, for each
                  error, E, that has been discovered in this packet,
                  2 raised to a value representing E is added to the sum.
                  The errors and the bits that represent them are dependent
                  on the media type of the interface that this channel
                  is receiving packets from.

                  The errors defined for a packet captured off of an
                  Ethernet interface are as follows:

                      bit #    Error
                          0    Packet is longer than 1518 octets
                          1    Packet is shorter than 64 octets
                          2    Packet experienced a CRC or Alignment error

                  For example, an Ethernet fragment would have a
                  value of 6 (2^1 + 2^2).

                  As this MIB is expanded to new media types, this object

                  For the purposes of this status matching algorithm, if the

                  this object is conceptually extended with '0' bits until it
