Abstract
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable
transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet
network such as IP, designed to transport PSTN signaling messages
over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader
applications.
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
describes the minimum amount of objects needed to manage the
implementation of the SCTP.

INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
1. Introduction
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
describes managed objects for implementations of the SCTP.
The document starts with a brief description of the SNMP framework
and continues with the MIB explanation and security consideration
among others.
The managed objects in this MIB module have been based on RFC 2012:
"SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control
Protocol using SMIv2" [RFC 2012] and "IP Version 6 Management
Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol" [RFC 2452].
Terms related to the SCTP architecture are explained in [1]. Other
specific abbreviations are listed below.
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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2. The SNMP Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
- An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [SNMPArch].
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
- 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 [SMIv1], RFC 1212 [SNMPv1MIBDef] and RFC 1215
[SNMPv1Traps]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described
in RFC 1902 [SMIv2], RFC 1903 [SNMPv2TC] and RFC 1904
[SNMPv2Conf].
- Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 nd
described in RFC 1157 [SNMPv1]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [SNMPv2c]
and RFC 1906 [SNMPv2TM]. The third version of the message
protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [SNMPv2TM],
RFC 2272 [SNMPv3MP] and RFC 2574 [SNMPv3USM].
- Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in RFC 1157 [SNMPv1]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[SNMPv2PO].
- A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273
[SNMPv3App] and the view-based access control mechanism
described in RFC 2575 [SNMPv3VACM].
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.
3. Structure of the MIB
The MIB is structured in the following way:
sctpMib
/ \
sctpObjects sctpConformance
/ \ / \
sctpScalars sctpTables sctpGroups sctpCompliances
|
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 4]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
sctpCompliance
where:
- sctpObjects, all the SCTP objects are defined under this
branch.
- sctpScalars, containing only scalars values. It can be split
into:
- General variables, listing the main SCTP variables.
- Statistics for traffic measurements.
- SCTP state related statistics
- other statistics
- sctpTables, tables per association, per local and remote IP
address and lookup tables for an easy search.
- sctpConformance, for the Unit of Conformance.
- sctpGroups, SCTP MIB variables have been grouped according
to their function and the context they belong to (general
variables, variables/statistics per association, variables
per local IP address and variables/statistics per remote IP
address).
- sctpCompliances, Minimal list of objects in the SCTP MIB
module that an agent developer must implement.
3.1 Objects
3.1.1 Scalars
3.1.1.1 Protocol General Variables
The first section of the MIB contains the general variables of the
SCTP protocol. Maximum, minimum, values by default and initial values
are listed here.
Based on the TCP MIB [RFC2012], SCTP RTO mechanism is defined in the
same way. In SCTP protocol, only options 'other' and 'vanj' remain
because SCTP protocol defines Van Jacobson's algorithm as the one to
be used to calculate RTO. 'Other' is left for future use ('rsre'
algorithm was eliminated because MIL-STD-1778 is Cancelled-No
Superseding Document according to the Military Standard library and
'constant' option doesn't fulfill the SCTP protocol description).
3.1.1.2 Statistics for traffic Measurements
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
Statistics included here are related to the whole SCTP layer.
Statistics related to a specific association, or local/remote IP
addresses are defined inside its concerned table.
3.1.1.2.1 State-Related Statistics
These measures are based in the TCP model, but adapted to the SCTP
states. They store the number of succeeded association attempts, how
many associations have been initiated by the local or the remote SCTP
layer, or just the number of associations terminated in a graceful
(by means of SHUTDOWN procedure) or ungraceful way (by means of CLOSE
procedure).
3.1.1.2.2 Other Statistics
There is a statistic related to the SCTP packets, i.e., the number
of out of the blue packets received by the local host. The remainder
statistics are based on the data unit of SCTP: the chunk. In this
way, the whole picture of the SCTP layer is covered.
3.1.2 MIB Tables
3.1.2.1 Association Table
The part of the MIB to define each association is structured
according to an expanded table. There is a main table (called
association table, sctpAssocTable), indexed by the association
identification. The association identification is a value to identify
in a unique way an association.
The MIB does not restrict which value must be written here. It can be
the tag value, or the TCB creation time, or any other value the
implementor decides.
This main table contains common information for a given association
and two other tables inside: local IP addresses table
(sctpAssocLocalAddressTable), and remote IP addresses table
(sctpAssocRemAddressTable).

Every entry is explained when defining the MIB.
Note that the IP address indexing the tables is valid for IPv4, IPv6
and DNS. Therefore, IP address is defined by the Internet address
type and the value of the IP address, according to the Textual
Conventions for Internet Network Address [RFC2851].
However, DNS value is not being used to identify an IP address since
it is only valid during initialization (once this stage is finished,
both sides only use IP addresses). To keep the name of the remote
peer, an entry has been created in the association table
(sctpAssocRemHostName). When no DNS name is provided by the remote
endpoint at init time, this value will be NULL. Otherwise, the
received DNS name will be stored.
It is NOT possible to create rows in any table (sctpAssocTable,
sctpAssocLocalAddressTable, sctpRemAddressTable).
If it is required to abort an existing association, value deleteTCB
has to be written in the variable sctpAssocState. That is the only
way to delete rows in any of the mentioned tables.
3.1.2.1.1 Local IP addresses Table
Table for local IP addresses information. This table stores
information related to the local IP address/-es reserved for the
association. It's indexed by the local IP addresses.
3.1.2.1.2 Remote IP addresses Table
Table for remote IP addresses information. This table stores
information related to the remote IP address/-es reserved for the
association. It's indexed by the remote IP addresses.
3.1.2.2 Reverse Lookup Tables
There is also one reverse lookup table . This is an optional table to
help management applications efficiently access conceptual rows in
other tables. This is the way for not performing expensive tree walks
through large number of associations.
It is not possible to either create or delete rows in this table.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 8]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
All the lookup tables contains the time to identify when a row in the
table was created.
Several tables have been created for this purpose:
- Local Port: It allows to find the associations in which the
local endpoint is using the specified local port.
- Remote Port: It allows to find the associations in which the
remote endpoint is using the specified remote port.
- Remote Host Name: It allows to find the associations that have
defined the specified host name as remote endpoint.
- Remote Primary IP Address: It allows to find the associations
that have defined the specified remote IP address as primary.
Remote IP address: List of all the associations that have the
specified IP address belonging to the set of remote addresses.
As an example the picture below shows the table to look up by remote
port.

3.2 Conformance
3.2.1 Groups
This section includes all the variables defined in the MIB grouped by
function(variables or statistics) and context (SCTP general
parameters,
association context, local IP address context or remote IP address
context).
Therefore the following groups have been created:
- General variables for the SCTP layer.
- General statistics for the states of the SCTP layer.
- General statistics for the SCTP layer.
- Variables and statistics per association, and variables per
local and remote IP address.
- Statistics per remote IP address.
3.2.2 Compliance
Requirements of the SCTP MIB to be implemented.

As in TCP, the only value which may be set by a management
station is deleteTCB. Accordingly, it is appropriate for an
agent to return a 'badValue' response if a management station
attempts to set this object to any other value.
If a management station sets this object to the value
deleteTCB(9), then this has the effect of deleting the TCB (as
defined in SCTP) of the corresponding association on the
managed node, resulting in immediate termination of the
association.
As an implementation-specific option, an ABORT chunk may be
sent from the managed node to the other SCTP endpoint."

6. Security Consideration
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have 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.
It is thus important to control even GET access to these objects and
possibly to even encrypt the values of these object when sending them
over the network via SNMP. Not all versions of SNMP provide features
for such a secure environment.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 37]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if security
measures are taken (e.g., using IPSEC), there is no per-user control
as to who (once an IPSEC association is established between hosts) is
allowed to GET or SET the objects in this MIB
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View-
based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, 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.

9. Revision History
9.1 Changes from <SCTP-MIB-predraft-01.txt>
o Open issues updated
o Section 2: Reference to RFC227x changed to RFC257x
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 38]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
o Section 4: Inside the sctpRtoAlgorithm definition has been put
"other" first
rather than last. That way, it won't end up in the middle of things
when new
enumerations are added later.
9.2 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-00.txt>
o Change of "Simple" word to "Stream" word in SCTP acronyms
o Version of the MIB based on SCTPv10
o Section 2: Update SNMP Framework to include the standard
explanation
o New Structure for the MIB:
sctpMIB
\- sctpObjects
\- sctpScalars
\- sctpTables
\- sctpConformance
o Section 4.1.2: Unit of Conformance updated (functional structure).
o MAX-ACCESS clauses reviewed
o The general statistics has been re-ordered, placed before the
tables.
o In SMIv2, indexes should be not-accessible (= the object type is a
column in a table used as index and may not be used as an operand in
any
operation != SMIv1) (pp109-110 in [])
o IPv6 compatible:
- Change of Primary/Local/Remote addresses
- PENDING: check "MODULE-COMPLIANCE"
o Row Status included in AssocTable, AssocLocal and AssocRem to
create,
modify and delete rows in the tables.
o SCTP general statistics changed from Counter32 to Counter64 since
it supports
more data changes.
o sctpCurrEstab ("State-related variables and statistics" section)
variable
changed from Gauge32 to Counter32.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 39]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
o sctpAssocRemAddressT1expired and sctpAssocRemAddressT2expired have
been
removed from the remote table and added in the general association
data
since they are variables per association (not per IP address).
o sctpAssocDropDatag statistic has been removed from the general
association
statistics since it had an ambiguous meaning.
o Explained the meaning of the unordered chunks (chunks in which the
U bit is
set to 1) in sctpStatOutOfOrderSentChunks and
sctpStatOutOfOrderRecChunks.
o Added sctpChecksumErrorCounter to collect information about wrong
checksums
received from the peer.
o Specify that sctpStatSentChunks and sctpStatRecChunks does not
contain
retransmission chunks.
o Reword the Security Considerations chapter pointing out that IPsec
does
not secure the network but it provides end-to-end security over a
network.
o sctpAssocRemAddressRtxChunks replaced as a variable per
association,
meaning the number of chunks retransmited to the peer in the current
association.
o sctpHeartBeatMisses and sctpMaxRetr have been replaced from the
general
SCTP statistics to the remote IP address table (sctpHeartBeatMisses)
and
in the association table (sctpMaxRetr).
o Specify that the retransmissions in the general SCTP statistics
include
control plus data chunks.
o Included heartbeat timer for remote IP address.
o Removed sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatMisses variable from the remote
IP
address table.
o Removed sctpAssocRemAddressT3expired variable from the remote IP
address table.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 40]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
o Updated variables to the new SCTP states defined in v10.
9.3 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-01.txt>
o sctpRtoMin - stray "." outside the double-quotes in the DESCRIPTION
clause.
o sctpRtoMax - stray "." outside the double-quotes in the DESCRIPTION
clause.
o sctpAssocRemHostName - the type OCTECT STRING should be OCTET
STRING.
o sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddress - the DESCRIPTION clause is missing its
closing ouble-quote.
o sctpConformance - this is defined as { sctpMIB 2 }, then never
used; instead sctpMIBConformance (which is undefined) is used in the
definition of sctpMIBGroups and sctpMIBCompliances.
o Reworded the MIB organization
o Removed maximum number of concurrent associations
o In sctpMIBCompliance, removed a missing comma in MANDATORY-GROUPS.
o In sctpAssocTablesVariablesGroup and sctpAssocStatGroup, removed
extra commas at end of OBJECTS list.
o sctpAssocInStreams. ACCESS changed from read-create to read-only.
o sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatFlag and sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer
changed from per remote IP address to per association.
o Comment on sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer specifies now that the
manager can change it.
o ACCESS on sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer changed from read-only to
read-write.
o ACCESS on sctpAssocRemAddressRetransCount changed from read-write
to read-only.
o Move sctpStatChecksumErrorCounter from general statistics to per
association.
o sctpMaxInStreams û ItÆs a sctp-user feature.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 41]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
o sctpStatRetransChunks û ItÆs more useful to have this statistic in
a association basis
o sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatFlag and sctpAssocRemAddressHBTimer
have been created again instead of per association in order to follow
the draft. If some implementations want to have the same value for
all the associations they have, they should set all the variables in
the different remote addresses to the same value.
9.3 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-02.txt>
o Deleting all the RowStatus Structure. Associated text rewording in
Tables section.
o Variable StartTime added in all the tables in order to specify the
creation time.
o Adding the Association reverse lookup table for easier management.
Associated text rewording in tables section.
o Remove sctpInitialT1 and sctpInitialT2, since these values are
equal to RTO.
o Change of the Heartbeats to a per-association basis
o Conformance up-to-date with all of this.
9.4 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-03.txt>
Main changes are due to the alignment with the TCP and UDP MIBs and
the inclusion of new lookup tables.
o Convert MIB to a read-only
o Counters ends with ôsö
o Include ôunknownö as an option for InetAddressType in conformance
o Terminology fix: CLOSED state, unordered chunks instead of out-of-
order, ..
o HBFlag changed to per remote address
o ChecksumErrors out of the AssocTable and hangs from Scalars
o Update Ports from Unsigned32 to InetPortNumber according to
RFC2851-update
o Rework inverse tables: five new lookup tables
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 42]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 June 12, 2001
o Remove INTEGER32 and change it to UNSIGNED32
o Replace Counter32 by Counter64
o Split Sent and Received chunks per association into control,
ordered and unordered chunks
