1.  The Network Management Framework

The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:

  o   An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [2].

  o   Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
      purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
      Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
      RFC 1155 [3], RFC 1212 [4] and RFC 1215 [5]. The second version,
      called SMIv2, is described in RFC 1902 [6], RFC 1903 [7] and RFC
      1904 [8].

  o   Message protocols for transferring management information. The
      first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
      described in RFC 1157 [9]. A second version of the SNMP message
      protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is
      called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [10] and RFC 1906 [11].
      The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and
      described in RFC 1906 [11], RFC 2272 [12] and RFC 2274 [13].

  o   Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
      first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
      described in RFC 1157 [9]. A second set of protocol operations
      and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [14].

  o   A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273 [15] and
      the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2275
      [16].

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.

This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.

Internet Draft  RTP MIB                                             April 1999




2. Overview

An "RTP System" may be a host end-system that runs an application
program that sends or receives RTP data packets, or it may be an
intermediate-system that forwards RTP packets.  RTP Control
Protocol (RTCP) packets are sent by senders and receivers to
convey information about RTP packet transmission and reception [1].
RTP monitors may collect RTCP information on senders and receivers
to and from an RTP host or intermediate-system.

2.1 Components

The RTP MIB is structured around "session," "Receiver" and "Sender"
conceptual abstractions.

2.1.1  An "RTP session" is the "...association of participants
communicating with RTP.  For each participant, the session is
defined by a particular pair of destination transport addresses
(one network address plus a port pair for RTP and RTCP).  The
destination transport addresses may be common for all participants,
as in the case of IP multicast, or may be different for each, as in
the case of individual unicast addresses plus a common port pair,"
as defined in section 3 of [1].

2.1.2 A "Sender" is identified within an RTP session by a 32-bit numeric
"Synchronization Source," or "SSRC", value and is "...the source of a
stream of RTP packets" as defined in section 3 of [1].  The sender is
also a source of RTCP Sender Report packets as specified in section 6 of [1].

2.1.3 A "Receiver" of a "stream of RTP packets" can be a unicast or
multicast Receiver as described in 2.1.1, above. An RTP Receiver has
an SSRC value that is unique to the session.  An RTP Receiver is a
source of RTCP Receiver Reports as specified in section 6 of [1].

2.2 Applicability of the MIB to RTP System Implementations

The RTP MIB may be used in two types of RTP implementations, RTP Host
Systems (end systems)  and RTP Monitors, see section 3 of [1].
Use of the RTP MIB for RTP Translators and Mixers, as defined in
section 7 of [1], is for further study.

2.2.1 RTP host Systems are end-systems that may use the RTP MIB
to collect RTP session and stream data that the host is sending or
receiving; these data may be used by a network manager to detect and
diagnose faults that occur over the life time of an RTP session as
in a "help-desk" scenario.

2.2.2 RTP Monitors of multicast RTP sessions may be third-party, or
may be located in an RTP intermediate-system or in the RTP host.  RTP
Monitors may use the RTP MIB to collect RTP session and stream
statistical data; these data may be used by a network manager for
capacity planning and other network-management purposes.  An RTP
Monitor may use the RTP MIB to collect data to permit a network
manager to detect and diagnose faults in RTP sessions, or to permit
a network manger to configure its operation.

2.2.3 Many host systems will want to keep track of streams beyond what
they are sending and receiving.  In a mixed mode system a host would use
RTP data from the host to maintain data about streams it is sending and
receiving, and RTCP data to collect data about other hosts in the session.
For example an RTP host that is sending a stream would use data from
its RTP stack to maintain the rtpSenderTable, however it may want to
maintain a rtpReceiverTable for endpoints that are receiving its stream.
To do this the host will collect RTCP data from the receivers of its
stream to build the rtpReceiverTable.

2.3  The Structure of the RTP MIB

There are three tables in the RTP MIB.  The rtpSessionTable contains
objects that describe active sessions at the host, intermediate system,
or monitor.  The rtpSenderTable contains information about senders
to the RTP session.  The rtpRcvrTable contains information about
receivers of RTP session data.

For any particular RTP session, the rtpSessionMonitor object indicates
whether information about remote senders or receivers to the RTP
session are to be monitored.  RTP sessions are monitored by the
RTP agent that updates rtpSenderTable and rtpRcvrTable objects with
information from RTCP reports from remote senders or remote receivers
respectively.

rtpSessionNewIndex is a global object that permits a network-management
application to obtain a unique index for conceptual row creation
in the rtpSessionTable.  In this way the SNMP Set operation may
be used to configure a monitor.

        DESCRIPTION
        "The managed objects of RTP systems.  The MIB is
        structured around three types of information.
        1. General information about RTP sessions such
           as the session address.
        2. Information about RTP streams being sent to
           an RTP session by a particular sender.
        3. Information about RTP streams received on an
           RTP session by a particular receiver from a
            particular sender.
         There are two types of RTP Systems, RTP hosts and
         RTP monitors.  As described below, certain objects
         are unique to a particular type of RTP System.   An
         RTP host may also function as an RTP monitor.
         Refer to RFC 1889, 'RTP: A Transport Protocol for
         Real-Time Applications,' section 3.0, for definitions."

       An RTP session can be monitored to create management

4.  Security Issues

In most cases, MIBs are not themselves security risks; if SNMP security is
operating as intended, the use of a MIB to view information about a
system, or to change some parameter at the system, is a tool, not a threat.

None of the read-only objects in this MIB reports a password, though
some SDES items such as the CNAME, the canonical name, may be deemed
sensitive depending on the security policies of a particular
enterprise.  If access to these objects is not limited by an
appropriate access control policy, these objects can provide an
attacker with information about a system's configuration and the
services that that system is providing.  Some enterprises view their
network and system configurations, as well as information about
usage and performance, as corporate assets; such enterprises may
wish to restrict SNMP access to most of the objects in the MIB.
This MIB supports read-write operations against rtpSessionNewIndex which
has the side effect of creating an entry in the rtpSessionTable when it
is written to.  Five objects in rtpSessionEntry have read-create access:
rtpSessionDomain, rtpSessionRemAddr, rtpSessionIfIndex,
rtpSessionRowStatus rtpSessionIfAddr identify an RTP session to be
monitored on a particular interface.  The values of these objects are
not to be changed once created, and initialization of these objects
affects only the monitoring of an RTP session and not the operation of
an RTP session on any host end-system.  Since write operations to
rtpSessionNewIndex and the five objects in rtpSessionEntry affect the
operation of the monitor, write access to these objects should be
subject to the appropriate access control policy.

Confidentiality of RTP and RTCP data packets is defined in section 9 of
the RTP specification [1].  Encryption may be performed on RTP packets,
RTCP packets, or both.  Encryption of RTCP packets may pose a problem
for third-party monitors though "For RTCP, it is allowed to split a
compound RTCP packet into two lower-layer packets, one to be encrypted
and one to be sent in the clear.  For example, SDES information might
be encrypted while reception reports were sent in the clear to
accommodate third-party monitors [1]."

5.  Acknowledgements

The authors wish to thank Bert Wijnen and the participants from the
ITU SG-16 management effort for their helpful comments.  Alan Batie
and Bill Lewis from Intel also contributed greatly to the RTP MIB
through their review of various drafts of the MIB and their work
on the implementation of an SNMP RTP Monitor.  Stan Naudus from 3Com
and John Du from Intel contributed to the original RTP MIB design and
co-authored the original RTP MIB draft documents; much of their work
remains in the current RTP MIB.
