1. Introduction
[RFC7117] and [RFC6513] specify procedures for supporting multicast
in Border Gateway Protocol/MultiProtocol Label Switching (BGP/MPLS)
Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) VPN (Virtual Private Network),
respectively.
Multicast service in BGP/MPLS L2 and L3 VPN can be achieved by using
various kinds of transport mechanism for forwarding a packet to all
or a subset of Provider Edge routers (PEs) across service provider
networks. Such transport mechanisms are referred to as provider
tunnels (P-tunnels).
The signaling of P-tunnel choice is very similar for multicast in
both L2 and L3 VPNs. [RFC7117] and [RFC6513] describe BGP-based
mechanisms for Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and Multicast VPN
(MVPN), respectively. [RFC6514] defines the Provider Multicast
Service Interface (PMSI) tunnel attribute, a BGP attribute that
specifies information of a P-tunnel. The PMSI tunnel attribute is
advertised/received by PEs in BPG auto-discovery (A-D) routes.
[RFC6513] also proposes a UDP-based signaling mechanism.
This document defines a textual conventions (TC) that can be used to
represent types of P-tunnels used for multicast in BGP/MPLS L2 or L3
VPN within MIB module specifications.
This document also describes common managed objects used by other MIB
modules which are designed for monitoring and/or configuring both L2
and L3 VPN that support multicast.

Internet-Draft L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB February 2017
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
1.1. Terminology
This document adopts the definitions, acronyms and mechanisms
described in [RFC6513] [RFC6514] [RFC7117] and other documents that
they refer to. Familiarity with Multicast, MPLS, L3 VPN, MVPN
(Multicast VPN) concepts and/or mechanisms is assumed. Some terms
specifically related to this document are explained below.
The term "Multicast VPN (MVPN)" [RFC6513] refers to a BGP/MPLS L3
(IP) VPN service that supports multicast.
"Provider Multicast Service Interface (PMSI)" [RFC6513] is a
conceptual interface instantiated by a P-tunnel, a transport
mechanism used to deliver multicast traffic. A PE uses to send
customer multicast traffic to all or some PEs in the same VPN.
There are two kinds of PMSI: "Inclusive PMSI (I-PMSI)" and "Selective
PMSI (S-PMSI)" [RFC6513]. An I-PMSI is a PMSI that enables a PE
attached to a particular MVPN to transmit a message to all PEs in the
same VPN. An S-PMSI is a PMSI that enables a PE attached to a
particular MVPN to transmit a message to some of the PEs in the same
VPN.
Throughout this document, we will use the term "I/S-PMSI" to refer
both "I-PMSI" and "S-PMSI".
[RFC6513] describes following tunnel setup techniques that can be
used to create the P-tunnels that instantiate the PMSIs.
o Protocol Independent Multicast tree
* Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) tree [RFC4601]
* Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM) tree [RFC4601]
* Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM) tree
[RFC5015]
o Label Distribution Protocol Extension for Multipoint Label
Switched Paths (mLDP) [RFC6388]
* Point-to-MultiPoint (mLDP P2MP)
* Point-to-MultiPoint (mLDP MP2MP)
Zhang & Tsunoda Expires August 25, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB February 2017
o Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering Point-to-
Multipoint (RSVP-TE P2MP) Label Switched Path [RFC4875]
o Ingress Replication through Unicast Tunnels [RFC6513]
A created tunnel will be identified by Tunnel Identifier. The length
of the identifier differs depending on the setup technique that is
used to create the tunnel.
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. Summary of MIB Module
This document defines two MIB modules: L2L3-VPN-MCAST-TC-MIB and
L2L3-VPN-MCAST-MIB.
o L2L3-VPN-MCAST-TC-MIB contains a Textual Convention
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType that provides an enumeration of the
provider tunnel types.
o L2L3-VPN-MCAST-MIB defines a table
l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable. An entry of this table
corresponds with a PMSI Tunnel Attribute (PTA) advertised/received
by PE routers. The entry of the table will be used by other MIB
modules which are designed for monitoring and/or configuring both
L2 and L3 VPN that support multicast.
The table index is composed of multiple attributes that depend on
the tunnel type and uniquely identify a tunnel.
The table may also be used in conjunction with other MIBs, such as
MPLS Traffic Engineering MIB (MPLS-TE-STD-MIB) [RFC3812], to
obtain the other details of a tunnel by following the row pointer
of the corresponding tunnel's row in this table. It may also be
used in conjunction with Interfaces Group MIB (IF-MIB) [RFC2863]
to obtain the other details of a corresponding interface that
Zhang & Tsunoda Expires August 25, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB February 2017
tunnel uses by following the row pointer of the corresponding
tunnel's row in this table.

4 16 ingressReplication
(Ingress Replication)
17 29 ldpMp2mp (mLDP MP2MP LSP)
When l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeType is set to
noTunnelId, the PMSI Tunnel attribute does not have
tunnel information. Thus, the size of this object is zero.
When l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeType is set to
rsvpP2mp, the Tunnel Identifier is composed of
Extended Tunnel ID (4 octets in IPv4, 16 octets in IPv6),
Reserved (2 octets), Tunnel ID (2 octets), and
P2MP ID (4 octets). Thus, the size of this object is
12 octets in IPv4 and 24 octets in IPv6.
When l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeType is set to
ldpP2mp, the Tunnel Identifier is a 17 octets
(in IPv4) or 29 octets (in IPv6) P2MP Forwarding
Equivalence Class (FEC) Element.
When l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeType is set to
pimSsm, PimAsm, or PimBidir, the Tunnel Identifier is
a pair of source and group IP addresses.
Thus, the size of this object is 16 octets in IPv4
and 32 octets in IPv6.
When l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeType is set to
ingressReplication, the Tunnel Identifier is
the unicast tunnel endpoint IP address of the local
PE. Thus, the size of this object is 4 octets in IPv4
and 16 octets in IPv6.
When l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeType is set to
ldpMp2mp, the Tunnel Identifier is a 17 octets
(in IPv4) or 29 octets (in IPv6) MP2MP FEC Element.
When BGP-based I/S-PMSI signaling is used, the value of
this object corresponds with the the Tunnel
Identifier field in an advertised/received I/S-PMSI
A-D route. Thus, the size of this object is determined

by the above table.
When UDP-based S-PMSI signaling is used, the value of
this object is a pair of source and group IP addresses.
Thus, the size of this object is 16 octets in IPv4

5. Security Considerations
There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have
a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this
MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an
intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB
module via direct SNMP SET operations.
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:
o l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelPointer and l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelIf in
l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable will point the corresponding
entry of in other table containing configuration and/or
performance information of a tunnel and an interface. If an
Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then these
objects should be considered sensitive/vulnerable.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to
Zhang & Tsunoda Expires August 25, 2017 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB February 2017
access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this
MIB module.
Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the
SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming
compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for
authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
[RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826]. Implementations
MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
[RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
[RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].
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.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to root MIB objects in the MIB module contained in
this document under the mib-2 subtree.
