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].

   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.  Overview

   This document continues the architecture created in the RMON2-MIB
   [RFC2021] by providing a major feature upgrade, primarily by
   providing new metrics and studies to assist in the analysis of
   performance for sub-application transaction flows in the network, in
   direct relationship to the transporting of application layer
   protocols.

   Performance monitoring agents have been widely used to analyze the
   parameters and metrics related to the perceived performance of
   distributed applications and services in networks. The metrics
   collected by these agents have ranged from basic response time to a
   combination of metrics related to the loss and re-transmission of
   datagrams and PDUs. While the metrics are becoming more useful in the
   implementation of service level monitoring and troubleshooting tools,
   the lack of a standard method to report these has limited the
   deployment to very specific customer needs and areas.

   This document is intended to create a general framework for the
   collection and reporting of performance related metrics on sub-
   application level transaction flows in a network. The MIB in this
   document in directly linked to the current RMON2-MIB [RFC2021] and
   uses the Protocol Directory as a key component in reporting the
   layering involved in the sub-application level transaction flows.

   The specific objectives of this document are to:

      + Provide a drill-down capability to compliment the user-perceived
      monitoring defined within the APM-MIB [RFC3729]. This capability
      is intended to support trouble resolution, further
      characterization of performance, and a finer granularity of

R. Dietz, R. Cole       Expires December 28, 2004               [Page 4]
INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

      monitoring capabilities. The APM-MIB provides a method for
      retrieving aggregated measurement data of the end-user's
      perception of application-level performance. APM additionally
      provides thresholding and associated alarms in the event the end-
      user perceived performance degrades below defined thresholds.  The
      TPM-MIB compliments the APM-MIB capabilities by monitoring sub-
      application level transaction aspects not typically perceived by
      the end-user. As an example, APM-MIB provides response time
      statistics of a typical web-browser application. This application
      typically consists of DNS transactions, TCP connection
      establishment (or multiple establishments), HTTP download of the
      base page and multiple downloads of the various embedded objects.
      Ideally TPM-MIB would provide statistics on the performance
      aspects of these multiple sub-application level transactions.

      + Provide additional performance metrics and related statistics.
      For trouble shooting and a finer granularity of performance
      monitoring, it is useful to provide measurements of additional
      metrics beyond those supported by the APM-MIB.

      + Support standards based metrics and associated statistical
      aggregation by defining methods to reference those standards. The
      TPM-MIB provides a capability to describe metrics by reference to
      appropriate IETF, ITU or other, including enterprise specific,
      standards bodies defining metrics.  This capability is provided
      through the tpmMetricsDefTable.

      Specifically, this MIB itself does not make references to such
      IETF, ITU and other organization's metric specifications.  What it
      does do is to allow for the setup of the tpmMetricDefTable that
      does reference such IETF, ITU and other metric specifications, and
      it allows to (dynamically) list pointers to such specifications in
      this table.  The following objects do allow for that, and the
      DESCRIPTION clauses (of the below objects) explain how such is
      done:

         tpmMetricDefName OBJECT-TYPE
         tpmMetricDefReference OBJECT-TYPE
         tpmMetricDefGlobalID OBJECT-TYPE

      The tpmMetricDefGlobalID object contains a reference to the Object
      ID in a metrics registration MIB being developed in the IPPM
      Working Group at the IETF, e.g., the IPPM-REGISTRY-MIB [RFCXXX3],
      which defines the metric.  For metrics defined within the IPPM
      Working Group, which are included in the IPPM-REGISTRY-MIB, this
      object is used to reference those metrics directly.  For metrics
      not included within the IPPM-REGISTRY-MIB, the value of this
      object is set to 0.0 for none.

INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

      Examples of appropriate references include the ITU-T
      Recommendation Y.1540 [Y.1540] on IP packet transfer performance
      metrics or the IETF documents from the IPPM WG, e.g., RFC2681 on
      the round trip delay metric [RFC2681] or RFC3393 on the delay
      variation metric [RFC3393] or others, including RFC2679 [RFC2679],
      RFC2680 [RFC2680], and RFC3432 [RFC3432].  While no specific
      metric is mandatory, implementations should, at a minimum, support
      a round trip delay and a round trip loss metric.

      + Provide (as an option) a table storing the measurements of the
      metrics on a transaction by transaction basis. There are times
      when it is useful to have access to the raw measurements. The
      tpmCurReportTable optionally provides access to this capability.

   While this document outlines the basic measurements of performance in
   regard to the transporting of application flows, it does not attempt
   to measure or provide a means to measure the actual perceived
   performance of the application transactions or quality.  The detailed
   measurements of end-user perceived performance is directly related to
   this document and may be found in the APM-MIB [RFC3729].

   The objects defined in this document are intended as an interface
   between an RMON agent and an RMON management application and are 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.

3.1.  Terms

   This document uses some terms that need introduction:

   DataSource
        A source of data for monitoring purposes. This term is used
        exactly as defined in the RMON2-MIB [RFC2021].

   protocol
        A specific protocol encapsulation, as identified for monitoring
        purposes. This term is used exactly as defined in the RMON
        Protocol Identifiers document [RFC2895].

   performance metric
        A specific, measured reporting metric, as identified for
        monitoring purposes.  There can be several metrics reported by
        an agent in the same implementation.  The metrics are
        extensible based on the agent implementation.

INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

   application
        A network-based, high-level protocol performing useful work
        to an end-user of end-system.  Typically the application
        performs multiple request/response transactions to complete
        its work.  E.g., a web-application downloading a web page
        completes DNS, TCP-connect and multiple HTTP GET transactions
        prior to completing its task.

   transactions
        Elemental request/response transactions comprising more
        complex network-based applications. E.g., a transaction
        may include an ftp get request and the file download in
        response.

3.2.  Report Aggregation

   This MIB module provides functions to aggregate measurements into
   higher level summaries identical to the aggregation defined in the
   APM-MIB [RFC3729]. In addition to temporal aggregation of data, the
   Textual Convention, TransactionAggregationType, is imported from the
   APM-MIB, which specifies the nature of the spatial aggregation
   employed.

3.3.  Structure of the MIB

   The objects are arranged in the following groups:

       -- tpmCapabilitiesGroup

       -- tpmAggregateReportsGroup

       -- tpmCurrentReportsGroup

       -- tpmExceptionReportsGroup

   These groups are the basic unit of conformance.  If an agent
   implements a group, then it must implement all objects in that group.
   While this section provides an overview of grouping and conformance
   information for this MIB module, the authoritative reference for such
   information is contained in the MODULE-COMPLIANCE and OBJECT-GROUP
   macros later in this MIB module.

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

INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

3.3.1. The tpmCapabilitiesGroup

   The tpmCapabilitiesGroup contains objects and tables which show the
   measurement protocol and metric capabilities of the agent. This group
   primarily consists of the tpmTransMetricDirTable and the
   tpmMetricDefTable.

3.3.2. The tpmAggregateReportsGroup

   The tpmAggregateReportsGroup is used to provide the collection of
   aggregated statistical measurements for the configured report
   intervals. The tpmAggregateReportsGroup consists of the
   tpmAggrReportCntrlTable and the tpmAggrReportTable.

3.3.3. The tpmCurrentReportsGroup

   The tpmCurrentReportsGroup is used to provide the collection of
   uncompleted measurements for the current configured report for those
   transactions caught in progress. A history of these transactions is
   also maintained once the current transaction has completed. The
   tpmCurrentReportsGroup consists of the tpmCurReportTable and the
   tpmCurReportSize object.

3.3.4. The tpmExceptionReportsGroup

   The tpmExceptionReportsGroup is used to link immediate notifications
   of transactions that exceed certain thresholds defined in the
   apmExceptionGroup [RFC3729]. This group reports the aggregated sub-
   application measurements for those applications exceeding thresholds.
   The tpmExceptionReportsGroup consists of the tpmExcpReportTable.

3.4.  Statistics for Aggregation of Data - Conventions

   In order to measure the performance of traffic flows in a network,
   the proper analysis of a set of statistics is required.  Since a
   large majority of the statistics have a basis of time, the use of a
   simple statistical model is feasible.  Therefore, the MIB definitions
   within this document all use a basic set of statistical computed
   values to assist in further analysis by a management application.

   The remaining subsections in this section detail the common
   structured features the are applied to the performance metrics in the
   statistical format described above.  The tpmMetricsDefTable
   (discussed below) describes the set of metrics supported in this MIB
   module.

3.5.  Relationship to the Remote Monitoring MIB

INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

   This document describes the implementation of an additional MIB for
   the support of performance related metrics within the framework of
   the RMON2-MIB [RFC2021].  The objects and table defined in this MIB
   module are an extension to the existing framework for the support of
   both Client/Server and Server push related applications and services.

3.6.  Relationship to RMON2-MIB Protocol Identifier Reference

   This document uses the Protocol Identifiers outlined in the current
   Protocol Identifier Reference document, RFC 2895 [RFC2895].  The
   protocol index values throughout the document are a direct reference
   to the same relationship that exists between the RMON2-MIB [RFC2021]
   and the Protocol Identifier Reference document, RFC 2895 [RFC2895].
   An important extension of the Protocol Identification to application-
   level verbs is found in RFC 3395 [RFC3395].

3.7.  Relationship to Standards-Based Performance Metrics

   This document uses the tpmMetricsDefTable to describe the metrics
   supported by an instance of the TPM-MIB.  The performance metric
   index values throughout the document are a direct reference to the
   metrics defined in that table.  The table defines metrics by directly
   referencing other standards that provide definitive descriptions of
   the metric.

3.8.  Relationship to Application Performance Measurement MIB

   This document uses the apmReportControlIndex, appLocalIndex and
   apmReportIndex as outlined in the current Application Performance
   Measurement MIB [RFC3729].  These objects are used to create a
   reference link for the purpose of reporting transaction flow details
   on application level measurements.  As such, the TPM-MIB is designed
   to provide a drill-down extension to the APM-MIB. Further, it draws
   heavily on the ideas and designs laid out in the APM-MIB.

4.  Statistics Perspective

   When dealing with time based measurements on application data packets
   it would be ideal if all the timestamps and related data could be
   stored and forwarded for later analysis.  However when faced with
   thousands of conversations per second on ever faster networks,
   storing all the data, even if compressed, would take too much
   processing, memory, and manager download time to be practical.

   It is important to note that in dealing with network data we will be
   dealing with statistical populations and not samples.  Statistics
   books deal with both because the math is similar.  In collecting
   agent data a population, i.e., all the data, must be processed.

R. Dietz, R. Cole       Expires December 28, 2004               [Page 9]
INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

   Because of the nature of application protocols just sampling some of
   the packets will not give good results.  Missing just one critical
   packet, such as one that specified an ephemeral port on which data
   will be transmitted, or what application will be run, can cause much
   valid data to be lost.

   The time-based measurements the agent collects will come from
   examining the entire group of data, i.e., the population. The
   population will be finite.  The agent will seek only to provide
   information that will describe the actual data. Analysis of that data
   will be left to the management station.

   The simplest form of representing a group of data is by frequency
   distributions, i.e., buckets. Statistics provides a great many ways
   of analyzing this type of data and there are some rules in creating
   the buckets. First the range needs to be known. Second a bucket size
   needs to be determined. Fixed bucket sizes are best, while variable
   may be used if needed. However the statistics texts tend to only
   refer to operations of fixed size buckets. This method of describing
   data is expensive for a agent to implement. First the agent must
   process a great amount of data at a time. In storing the data,
   determine the range, then locating the buckets and then fill in the
   data after the fact, takes a fair amount of storage and time. Fixing
   the range and bucket sizes in the beginning can be problematical as
   the agent may have to adjust the values for each of the applications
   it collects data on.  Such numbers can be in the thousands.
   Additional complexity arises in adding new protocols and even in
   describing the buckets themselves to the management application. This
   is the approach taken in the APM-MIB.

   A complimentary approach is to provide frequency distribution
   statistics. Frequency distribution statistics describes aggregation
   such as mean and standard deviation that can be obtained by summation
   functions on the individual data elements in a population.  Analysis
   of the data described by these functions has been greatly studied and
   interpretation of these values is available to anyone with an
   introduction to statistics.  In fact, frequency distributions are
   routinely analyzed to generate these varied numbers which are then
   used for further analysis.  Also note that frequency distributions by
   their very nature provide an exact characterization of the data.
   Whereas buckets, will introduce error factors that are not present
   with direct analysis by a summation type formulas.  Because the TPM-
   MIB provides a drill-down capability to the APM MIB it has to measure
   and store much more information than the APM-MIB.  For this reason,
   and to compliment the APM-MIB, the TPM-MIB relies on statistical
   descriptions rather than a bucket description of the measurement
   data.

   The agent will provide data that can be used to calculate the most
   basic and useful statistical aggregates.  The agent will not perform
   the calculations and provide the statistical measurement directly.
   There are several reason why this is not desired. The first is that
   to find the final measurement can be expensive in terms of
   computation and representation.  There are divisions and square roots
   and the measurements are expressed as floating point values.  The
   second is that by providing the variables to the statistical
   functions, those variables are scalable.  It is possible to combine
   smaller intervals into larger ones.

   An example is the arithmetic mean or average.  This is the sum of the
   data divided by the number of data elements.  The agent will provide
   the sum of the x and the number of elements N. The management station
   can perform the division to obtain the average.  Given two samples,
   they can be combined by adding the sum of the x's and by adding the
   number of elements to get a combined sum and number of elements.  The
   average formula then works just the same.  Also the sum of the x and
   the number of element variables are used in calculating other
   statistical measurement values as well.

4.1.  Statistics Structure

   The data statistical elements, datum, of the metric have been chosen
   to maximize the amount of data available while minimizing the amount
   of memory needed to store the statistic and minimizing the CPU
   processing requirement needed to generate the statistic.

   The statistic data structure contains five unsigned integer datum.

       N        count of the number of data points for the metric
       S(X)     sum of all the data point values for the metric
       S(X2)    sum of all the data point values squared for the metric
       Xmax     maximum data point value for the metric
       Xmin     minimum data point value  for the metric
       S(I*X)   sum of the data points multiplied by their order, i.e.,
                = SUM from i=1 to N { i*X sub i}

   A performance metric is used to describe events over a time interval.
   The measurement points can be processed immediately into the
   statistic and do not have to be stored for later processing.  For
   example, to count the number of events in a time interval it is
   sufficient to increment a counter for each event.  It is not
   necessary to cache all the events and then count them at the end of
   the interval. The statistic is also designed to be easily scalable in

   created a specific statistic every 30 seconds and a user table

   obtained by combining the two 30 second statistics.  The following
   rules will be applied when combining adjacent statistics.

             N         S(N)
             S(X)      S(S(X))
             S(X2)     S(S(X2))
             Xmax      MAX(Xmax)
             Xmin      MIN(Xmin)
             S(I*X)    S(I*X) + N*S(X) +S(I*X)
                       where the last two terms refer to the
                       statistics from the later 30 second period
                       and N is the count from the former 30 second
                       period.

   This structure gives a generic framework upon which the actual
   performance statistics will be defined.  Each specific statistical
   definition must address the specific significance, if any, given to
   each of the metric datum.  While a specific metric definition should
   try to conform to the generic framework, it is acceptable for a
   metric datum to not be used, and to have no meaning, for a specific
   metric.  In such cases the datum will default to a 0 value.

4.2.  Statistics Analysis

   The actual meaning of a specific statistical datum is determined by
   the definition of the specific statistic.  The following is a
   discussion of the operations and observations that can be performed
   on a generic metric.  This means that the following may or may not
   apply and/or have meaning when applied to any specific metric.

   The following observations and analysis techniques are not all
   inclusive.  Rather these are the ones we have come up with at the
   time of writing this document.

       + Number.

       + Frequency.

       + The time interval is the time interval specified in the control
       table.  It is not a metric datum, but it is associated with the
       metric sample.

       + Maximum

       + Minimum

       + Range

       + Root Mean Square

       + Variance

       + Standard Deviation

   module.

        the agent to collection sub-application level
        data related to each entry in the
        apmAppDirectoryTable.

        This table lists the protocol transactions and their
        corresponding performance metrics that this agent
        has the capability to compute and collect, for the specified
        application.  There is one entry in this table for each such
        application, protocol transaction and metric combination
        supported by this agent.  The entries in this
        table represent the metrics that are collected for each
        protocol transaction that comprise the application.
        The agent should boot up with this table pre-configured
        with those combinations of applications, protocol
        transactions and metrics that it knows about and wishes to
        monitor. Implementations must populate the table with all
        possible application, protocol transaction and metric
        combinations and have the default configuration
        objects set to supportedOff(2).  This table
        does not support the creation of new
        combinations by the management application.

        The deletion of an entry in the apmAppDirectoryTable will cause
        the removal of entries from this table.  These entries must
        be removed because the appLocalIndex value will no
        longer be visible in the apmAppDirectoryTable.  When an entry
        is created in the apmAppDirectoryTable and the agent has the
        ability to support metrics for these protocol transactions,
        the appropriate entries must be made in the

        The tpmAggrReportIndex value in the index identifies which
        report (in the series of reports) this entry is a part of.
        The tpmAggrReportAppLocalIndex value in the index identifies
        the application protocol that is being reported.
        The tpmTransMetricIndex value in the index identifies
        the transaction protocol-metric pair for the traffic flows
        aggregated in this entry.
        The protocolDirLocalIndex value in the index identifies the
        network layer protocol of the tpmAggrReportServerAddress. When
        the associated tpmAggrReportCntrlAggrType value is equal
        to applications(4) or clients(2), this value will equal 0.
        The tpmAggrReportServerAddress value in the index identifies
        the network layer address of the server in traffic flows
        aggregated in this entry.
        The tpmAggrReportApmNameClientID value in the index identifies
        the client in traffic flows aggregated in this entry. If the

10.  Security Considerations

   This MIB relates to a system which provides a passive monitoring
   capability of a broadcast subnet, a switched subnet or point-to-point
   subnets.  As such, it collects information relating to network layer
   addresses, traffic statistics relating to conversations and to
   application-level activities.  These statistics could be deemed
   sensitive in certain networking environments.

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
   with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
   objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
   environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
   environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.  These are the tables and objects and their
   sensitivity/vulnerability:

      + The tpmTransMetricDirConfig object describes and configures the
      probe's support for a given performance metric in relationship to
      a specified transaction and application.  The agent creates
      entries in this table for all metric and transaction combinations
      that it can generate and this object controls the on/off switch
      for this capability.  If certain statistics for a supported
      transaction are deemed sensitive, then access to SET operations on
      this object should be protected.

      + The tpmAggrReportCntrlDataSource sets the interface on which the
      network addresses, conversational and application-level statistics
      will be collected.

      + The tpmAggrReportCntrlAggrType object controls the level of data
      aggregation implemented in the report tables.  For example, this
      object could to set to allow client-level information to be
      exposed.

   In order to implement this MIB module, an agent must make certain
   management information available about protocols and network
   addresses used within a managed system, which may be considered
   sensitive in some network environments.  Therefore some of the
   readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS
   other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
   in some network environments.  It is thus important to control even
   GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even
   encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the
   network via SNMP.  These are the tables and objects and their
   sensitivity/vulnerability:

      + The tpmAggrReportTable contains the statistical studies which

R. Dietz, R. Cole       Expires December 28, 2004              [Page 57]
INTERNET DRAFT                   TPM-MIB                   June 28, 2004

      the probe was configured to generate.  These tables contain the
      historical, aggregated data providing information on the network
      address and traffic statistics related to their conversations.

      + The tpmCurReportTable contains information on current
      transaction flows.  This table provides a view of the current
      activity on a subnet or a client machine.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
   even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
   allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
   in this MIB module.

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
   RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
   the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
   rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
