Internet-Draft PCEP MIB July 2012
1. Introduction
The Path Computation Element (PCE) defined in [RFC4655] is an entity
that is capable of computing a network path or route based on a
network graph, and applying computational constraints. A Path
Computation Client (PCC) may make requests to a PCE for paths to be
computed.
The PCE communication protocol (PCEP) is the communication protocol
between a PCC and PCE for point-to-point (P2P) path computations and
is defined in [RFC5440]. Such PCEP communication interactions
include path computation requests and path computation replies as
well as notifications of specific states related to the use of a PCE
in the context of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and
Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering.
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a MIB module that can be used to manage
PCEP communications between a PCC and a PCE, or between two PCEs.
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
[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
[RFC2578] [RFC2579] [RFC2580].
3. Requirements Language
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119
[RFC2119].
4. Terminology
The terminology used in this document is built on notions introduced
and discussed in PCE WG documents. The reader should be familiar
with these documents.
Koushik, et al. Expires January 11, 2013 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft PCEP MIB July 2012
Domain: any collection of network elements within a common sphere of
address management or path computational responsibility.
IGP Area: OSPF Area or ISIS level.
This document also uses the terminology defined in [RFC4655] and
[RFC5440].
5. PCEP MIB Module Architecture
The PCEP MIB will contain the following information:
a. PCEP entity configuration and status.
b. PCEP peer configuration and information.
c. PCEP session configuration and information.
d. Notifications to indicate PCEP session changes.
5.1. Relations to other MIB modules
PCEP relies on existing protocols which have specialized MIB objects
to monitor their own activities. Consequently this document
considers that the monitoring underlying protocols are out of scope
of the PCEP MIB module.
6. Object Definitions
6.1. PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB
This MIB module makes references to the following documents:
[RFC2578]; [RFC2579]; [RFC2580]; [RFC2863]; [RFC3411]; [RFC3813];
[RFC4001]; and [RFC4265].

Consider the case where a PCReq message is received by a PCE
that contains the SVEC object referring to M synchronized
path computation requests. If after the expiration of the
SYNC timer all the M path computation requests have not been
received, a protocol error is triggered and the PCE MUST
cancel the whole set of path computation requests.
The aim of the SyncTimer is to avoid the storage of unused
synchronized request should one of them get lost for some
reasons (for example, a misbehaving PCC)."

7. Security Considerations
This MIB module can be used for configuration of certain objects, and
anything that can be configured can be incorrectly configured, with
potentially disastrous results.
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of 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:
o pcePcepEnityTcpPort: A PCC or PCE listening in on the wrong TCP
port would mean PCEP communications would fail.
o pcePcepEntityKeepAliveTimer: Changing the PCEP session keepalive
timer to a value lower than the default value, may force premature
PCEP communication time-outs.
o pcePcepEntityRowStatus: Setting row status incorrectly may turn
off the PCEP client.
o pcePcepEntityDeadTimer: Changing the PCEP session deadtimer timer
to a value lower than the default value, may force premature PCEP
communication time-outs.
The user of the PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB module must therefore be aware
that support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without
proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
The readable objects in the PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB module (i.e., those
with MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered
sensitive in some environments since, collectively, they provide
information about the amount and frequency of path computation
requests and responses within the network and can reveal some aspects
of their configuration.
Koushik, et al. Expires January 11, 2013 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft PCEP MIB July 2012
In such environments it is important to control also GET and NOTIFY
access to these objects and possibly even to encrypt their values
when sending them over the network via SNMP.
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.
8. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to make a MIB OID assignment for pceStdMIB under
the mib-2 branch. The MIB module in this document uses the following
IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers
registry:

this document under the mib-2 subtree.
