1. Revision History
[Note to RFC Editor: Please remove prior to publication]
Changes from draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2013-update-02.txt
18 October 2004 - IETF Last Call comments
Updated reference to RFC3291 to refer to 3291bis internet-draft.
Updated DESCRIPTION clause of the most recent REVISION clause to
reflect the changes that have been made since RFC 2013.
Updated DESCRIPTION clause of least recent REVISION clause to
reflect that MIB-II was published as RFC 1213.
Added pseudo OBJECT clauses to the description of
udpMIBCompliance2 for udpEndpointLocalAddress and
udpEndpointRemoteAddress.
Updated Overview section so that all references are cited.
Moved references to RFC 2287 and RFC 2790 from Normative
References to Informative References, since they are not actually
required for implementation, and we don't want advancement of this
document to be blocked.
Removed use of zero-length addresses to represent wildcard
listeners when the version is specified. Instead, use zero valued
addresses of the appropriate length. Updated udpEndpointTable and
udpEndpointLocalAddress DESCRIPTION clauses to reflect this.
Added IANA Considerations section.
Updated IPR boilerplate.
Changes from draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2013-update-02.txt
27 April 2004
Added text to section 2.1.2 to clarify why an equivalent to RFC
2454's ipv6UdpIfIndex is not required.
Changed the text of the Security Considerations so that it no
longer implies that udpEndpointLocalPort is readable, but is
instead only returned as part of an index.
Added an explicit reference to sysUpTime as a discontinuity

indicator to the counter objects in the mib.
Reworded the description of udpEndpointLocalAddress to indicate
that it can be used to represent any address that the local system
is listening to, not just addresses assigned to the system.
Updated the description of InetAddress objects used as index
elements to indicate the 128 octet limit.
Added a note to the description of udpEndpointRemoteAddressType to
indicate that some combinations of udpEndpointLocalAddressType and
udpEndpointRemoteAddressType are not legal.
Reverted udpEndpointInstance to not-accessible, since
udpEndpointProcess is now a mandatory to implement object (to
align with the TCP-MIB).
Added text to the udpEndpointInstance description to describe why
it is needed.
Added pseudo OBJECT clauses to the description of
udpMIBCompliance2 for udpEndpointLocalAddressType and
udpEndpointRemoteAddressType.
Removed udpEndpointInstance from the udpEndpointGroup, since it is
now not-accessible, and added udpEndpointProcess to the
udpEndpointGroup, since it is now mandatory. Removed the
udpEndpointProcessGroup.
Changes from draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2013-update-00.txt
24 October 2003
Dropped udpEndpointInDatagrams, udpEndpointHCInDatagrams,
udpEndpointOutDatagrams, udpEndpointHCOutDatagrams,
udpEndpointInOctets, udpEndpointHCInOctets, udpEndpointOutOctets,
udpEndpointHCOutOctets, and udpEndpointStartTime.
Removed udpEndpointStatsGroup, udpEndpointHCDatagramStatsGroup and
udpEndpointHCOctetStatsGroup.
Changed udpEndpointInstance back to read-only, since there is no
longer a mandatory non-auxiliary column in the udpEndpointTable.
Removed Open Issues section.
Moved Revision History section to beginning of document and
removed its section number, to allow for easier removal at RFC

publication.
Updated to latest MIB boilerplate.
Updated working group mailing list address.
Removed SIZE constraints from udpEndpointLocalAddress and
udpEndpointRemoteAddress, and updated the DESCRIPTION clause of
udpEndpointEntry.
Removed "Use of IP Addresses" section, since this information is
already documented in the relevant MIB DESCRIPTIONs.
Changes from draft-ietf-ipngwg-rfc2013-update-01.txt
28 May 2002
Removed udpConnectionTable.
Renamed ListenerTable to EndpointTable, since with a remote
address Listener is not quite correct.
Use ''h consistently for 'any IP address', instead of sometimes
''h and sometimes all-zeroes of the right address family.
Use "Datagram" instead of "Packet" to talk about UDP datagrams.
Added mandatory udpEndpointStartTime, this also fixes the
udpEndpointInstance needing to be read-only and mandatory.
Make udpEndpointProcess mandatory on systems that have process
IDs.
Make a note of { udp 6 } in a comment for clarity on why it's
skipped.
Fleshed out section 3.
Changed the deprecated udpLocalPort SYNTAX to Integer32. Since it
was already restricted to (0..65536) this is not a semantic
change.

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 memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for implementations
of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), as defined in RFC 768 [RFC0768],
in an IP version independent manner.
The current UDP-MIB defined in this memo consists of one table and a
group of scalars:
o The udp group of scalars reports parameters and statistics of a
UDP protocol engine. Two scalars udpHCInDatagrams and
udpHCOutDatagrams have been added to this group since the
publication of RFC 2013 [RFC2013] in order to provide
high-capacity counters for fast networks. Discontinuities in the
values of the counters in this group are indicated by
discontinuities in the value of the sysUpTime object, which is
defined in RFC 3418 [RFC3418].
o The udpEndpointTable provides access to status information for all
UDP endpoints handled by a UDP protocol engine. The table
provides for strictly listening endpoints, as with the historical
udpTable, and also for "connected" UDP endpoints, which only
accept packets from a given remote system. It also reports
identification of the operating system level processes which
handle UDP connections. Addresses and ports of UDP endpoints in
this table are represented using the InetAddressType, InetAddress,
and InetPortNumber textual conventions defined in RFC 3291bis
[I-D.ietf-ops-rfc3291bis].

Internet-Draft UDP MIB October 2004
3.1 Relationship to Other MIBs
This section discusses the relationship of this UDP-MIB module to
other MIB modules.
3.1.1 Relationship to RFC1213-MIB
UDP related MIB objects were originally defined as part of the
RFC1213-MIB defined in RFC 1213 [RFC1213]. The UDP related objects
of the RFC1213-MIB were later copied into a separate MIB module and
published in RFC 2013 [RFC2013] in SMIv2 format.
The previous versions of the UDP-MIB both defined the udpTable, which
has been deprecated for basically two reasons:
(1) The udpTable only supports IPv4.
The current approach in the IETF is to write IP version neutral
MIBs rather than having different definitions for various version
of IP. This reduces the amount of overhead when new objects are
introduced since there is only one place to add them. Hence, the
approach taken in RFC 2454 [RFC2454] of having separate tables is
not continued.
(2) The udpTable does not permit describing "connected" UDP
endpoints.
It turns out that "connected" endpoints tend to have a different
behaviour and management access pattern compared to listening
endpoints. Adding remote endpoint information to the
udpEndpointTable thus allows for the addition of specific status
and statistic objects for "connected" endpoints and connections.
3.1.2 Relationship to the IPV6-UDP-MIB
The IPV6-UDP-MIB defined in RFC 2454 [RFC2454] has been moved to
Historic since the approach of having separate IP version specific
tables is not followed anymore. Implementation of RFC 2454 is thus
not suggested anymore.
Note that since scoped addresses are now represented using the ipv4z
and ipv6z address types, there is no longer a need to explicitly
include the ifIndex in the index clause of the udpEndpointTable.
This is a change from the use of ipv6UdpIfIndex in RFC 2454.
3.1.3 Relationship to HOST-RESOURCES-MIB and SYSAPPL-MIB
The udpEndpointTable reports the identification of the operating
Fenner & Flick Expires April 18, 2005 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft UDP MIB October 2004
system level process which handles a connection or a listening
endpoint. The value is reported as an Unsigned32 which is expected
to be the same as the hrSWRunIndex of the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
[RFC2790] (if the value is smaller than 2147483647) or the
sysApplElmtRunIndex of the SYSAPPL-MIB [RFC2287]. This allows
managment applications to identify the UDP connections that belong to
an operating system level process, which has proven to be valuable in
operational environments.

"A table containing information about this entity's UDP

accepting or sending datagrams.
The address type in this table represents the address
Fenner & Flick Expires April 18, 2005 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft UDP MIB October 2004
type used for the communication, irrespective of the
higher-layer abstraction. For example, an application
using IPv6 'sockets' to communicate via IPv4 between
::ffff:10.0.0.1 and ::ffff:10.0.0.2 would use
InetAddressType ipv4(1).
Unlike the udpTable in RFC 2013, this table also allows
the representation of an application which completely
specifies both local and remote addresses and ports. A
listening application is represented in three possible
ways:
1) an application which is willing to accept both IPv4
and IPv6 datagrams is represented by a
udpEndpointLocalAddressType of unknown(0) and
udpEndpointLocalAddress of ''h (a zero-length
octet-string).
2) an application which is willing to accept only IPv4
or only IPv6 datagrams is represented by a
udpEndpointLocalAddressType of the appropriate
address type, and udpEndpointLocalAddress of
'0.0.0.0' or '::' respectively.
3) an application which is listening for datagrams only
for a specific IP address, but from any remote
system, is repesented by a
udpEndpointLocalAddressType of the appropriate
address type, udpEndpointLocalAddress specifying the
local address.
In all cases where the remote is a wildcard, the
udpEndpointRemoteAddressType is unknown(0), the
udpEndpointRemoteAddress is ''h (a zero-length
octet-string), and the udpEndpointRemotePort is 0.
If the operating system is demultiplexing UDP packets
by remote address and port, or if the application has
'connected' the socket specifying a default remote
address and port, the udpEndpointRemote* values should
be used to reflect this."

Much of Keith McCloghrie's text from RFC1213/RFC2013 remains in this
document, and the structure of the MIB is due to him.
Mike Daniele wrote the original IPv6 UDP MIB in RFC2454.
Juergen Schoenwalder provided much of the text for section 2.
7. Security Considerations
There are no management objects defined in this MIB that have a
MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB
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:
The indices of the udpEndpointTable and udpTable contain information
on the listeners on an entity. In particular, the
udpEndpointLocalPort and udpLocalPort objects in the indices can be
used to identify what ports are open on the machine and can thus what
attacks are likely to succeed, without the attacker having to run a
port scanner.
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
Fenner & Flick Expires April 18, 2005 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft UDP MIB October 2004
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
in this MIB module.
It is recommended that the implementors 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).
Furthermore, 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.
8. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
+------------+-------------------------+
| Descriptor | OBJECT IDENTIFIER value |
+------------+-------------------------+
| udp | { mib-2 7} |
| udpMIB | { mib-2 50 } |
+------------+-------------------------+
Editor's Note (to be removed prior to publication): this draft makes
no additional requests of the IANA.
