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 December, 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 [RFC2012]
update: "Management Information Base for the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP)" [TCPMIB], work in progress, and the RFC 2851 update
"Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses" [TADDRESS], work
in progress.
Terms related to the SCTP architecture are explained in [RFC2960].
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 [RFC2119].

2. The SNMP Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
- An overall architecture, described in [RFC2571].
- Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
[RFC1155] , [RFC1212] and [RFC1215]. The second version,
called SMIv2, is described in [RFC1902], [RFC1903] and
[RFC1904].
- Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in [RFC1157]. A second version of the SNMP message
protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is
called SNMPv2c and described in [RFC1901] and [RFC1906]. The
third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and
described in [RFC1906], [RFC2272] and [RFC2574].
- Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in [RFC1157]. A second set of protocol operations
and associated PDU formats is described in [RFC1905].
- A set of fundamental applications described in [RFC2273] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in [RFC2575].
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. MIB Structure
This chapter will explain the main objects this MIB defines. A
detailed view of the MIB structure with the OID values is below.

3.1 SCTP Objets
This branch contains the SCTP statistics and general parameters (both
of them scalars) and the SCTP MIB tables.
3.1.1 SCTP Statistics
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
SCTP MIB includes both Counter32 and Counter64 to deal with
statistics. Counter64 has been applied to those counters, which are
likely to wrap around in less than one hour, according to [RFC2863].
In addition Gauge32 is also used.
3.1.1.1 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 Statistics for traffic Measurements
It has been specified statistics related to the whole SCTP layer.
There are, e.g., statistics related to either SCTP packets or SCTP
chunks.
Statistics related to a specific association, or local/remote IP
addresses are defined inside its concerned table.
3.1.2 SCTP Parameters
This section of the MIB contains the general variables of the
SCTP protocol. Maximum, minimum, initial values, and values by
default are listed here.
SCTP RTO mechanism definition is based on the TCP MIB [RFC2012-
update]. In SCTP protocol, only options 'other' and 'vanj' are valid
since SCTP protocol defines Van Jacobson's algorithm as the one to
be used to calculate RTO. 'Other' is left for future use.
3.1.3 MIB Tables
There are several tables included in the SCTP MIB. The first group
deals with the Association variables and is composed of a main and
two extended tables. The second group is a bunch of tables used for
the reverse lookup.
It is NOT possible to create rows in any table (sctpAssocTable,
sctpAssocLocalAddressTable, sctpRemAddressTable and Reverse Lookup
tables).
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 6]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
It is NOT possible to delete rows in any table except in
sctpAssocTable under the particular conditions explained below.
3.1.3.1 Association Table
This is the main MIB table, where all the association related
information is stored per association basis. It is structured
according to expanded tables. The main table is called sctpAssocTable
and is indexed by sctpAssocId (the association identification) that
is a value that uniquely identifies an association. The MIB does not
restrict which value must be written here. It can be the tag value,
the TCB creation time, or any other value the implementers decide.
The sctpAssoc index is also shared by two more tables:
- sctpAssocLocalAddressTable: to store the local IP address(-es).
- sctpAssocRemAddressTable: to store the remote addresses and the
per-remote-address(-es)related information.
Note: The following representation is a conceptual mode of describing
the relationship between the tables in this MIB. Note that the real
relationship of the tables is by sharing an index, so tables are not
truly within tables. Every entry is explained when defining the
corresponding objects in the MIB.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Both sctpAssocLocalAddressTable and sctpAssocRemAddressTable are
indexed by addresses. ôAddressö and ôAddressTypeö use the syntax
InetAddress and InetAddressType defined in the Textual Conventions
for Internet Network Address [RFC2851-update]. In the general case
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 8]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
this syntax is valid for IPv4, IPv6 and DNS but only the first two
options will be valid in this MIB.
The IP addresses that the MIB supports are defined in the [RFC2851-
update]: global and non-global (either with a zone index or not) IPv4
addresses, global and non-global (either with a zone index or not)
IPv6 addresses.
DNS value is not 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 (when provided by the peer at
initialization time), an entry has been created in the sctpAssocTable
(sctpAssocRemHostName). When no DNS name is provided by the remote
endpoint, this value will be NULL (zero-length string). Otherwise,
the received DNS name will be stored here.
If it is required to abort an existing association, the value
deleteTCB has to be written in the variable sctpAssocState. That is
the only way to delete rows in any of the mentioned tables.
3.1.3.2 Reverse Lookup Table
There are five reverse lookup tables to help management applications
to efficiently access conceptual rows in other tables. This is the
way for not performing expensive tree walks through large number of
associations. All of these tables are optional.
The defined reversed lookup tables allow performing a lookup using
the following variables:
- Local Port: It allows finding the associations in which the
local endpoint is using the specified local port.
- Remote Port: It allows finding the associations in which the
remote endpoint is using the specified remote port.
- Remote Host Name: It allows finding the associations that have
defined the specified host name as remote endpoint.
- Remote Primary IP Address: It allows finding 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.
sctpLookupRemPortTable
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| sctpAssocRemPort (index) / ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| sctpLookupRemPortStartTime / ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
All the lookup tables contains a timestamp (referred as StartTime) to
indicate when a row in the table was created.
It is not possible to either create or delete rows in these tables.
3.2 Conformance
The conformance section points out as optional the statistics either
general for the whole SCTP layer and per association or remote IP
address.
Also, IP address will take the format of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (not
scoped). DNS name will not be accepted either (since names will be
stored û if present û in the sctpRemoteHostName variable).

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

5. Compiling Notes
After compiling the MIB the following warnings can be got:
@ index of row `sctpLookupRemHostNameEntry' can exceed OID size limit
by 141 subidentifier(s)
@ index of row `sctpLookupRemPrimIPAddrEntry' can exceed OID size
limit by 142 subidentifier(s)
These two come from the fact that sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddress has the
default InetAddress size of (0..255) which exceeds OID size
limitations. Introducing a size restriction on
sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddress would make the warning go away û although
it would be one of those more arbitrary restrictions.
Some compilers can also show the following warnings:
@ refined object `sctpAssocLocalAddressType' not listed in a
mandatory or optional group
@ refined object `sctpAssocRemAddressType' not listed in a mandatory
or optional group
The compliance statement refines these object which are not listed in
one of the groups. The interesting thing is that you can't list them
in one of the groups since the SMIv2 disallows to list not accessible
objects. (It can actually be considered as a bug in SMIv2.) One
solution would be to just put these two refinements into a
DESCRIPTION clause or a comment.

7. Security Consideration
The deleteTCB management object, defined in this MIB, has a MAX-
ACCESS clause of read-write. This is because it allows operators to
tear down the associations. Such object 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.
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.

10. Revision History
10.1 Changes from <SCTP-MIB-predraft-01.txt>
o Open issues updated
o Section 2: Reference to RFC227x changed to RFC257x
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.
10.2 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:
sctp
\- sctpObjects
\- sctpScalars
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 40]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
\- sctpTables
\- sctpMIBConformance
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.
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.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 41]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
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.
o Updated variables to the new SCTP states defined in v10.
10.3 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.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 42]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
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.
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.
10.3 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.
10.4 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
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 43]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
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
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
10.5 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-04.txt>
Changes due to the IETF-51 meeting and requests from the mailing
list.
o Typo errors
o Objects renumbering
o All counters to Counter32 to be backward compatible, not to waste
memory. Operators needing more than 32 bits will do it by
augmentations.
o Limit the number of IP address size when index
o Specify that a port number with value zero means unknown port
number according to the RFC2851-update
Changes due to the alignment with the RFC2851-update.
o Include clarification text of the IP address types supported in the
SCTP MIB. Chapter 3.1.2.1 (Association table)
o Remote Primary IP address: Addition of the ipv4z an ipv6z types for
non-globally IP addresses in which a scope identifier is needed.
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 44]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
Addition of the scope of ipv6 type. All of them according to the
RFC2851-update v04
o InetAddressType for local and remote IP addresses:
Limit UNKNOWN type only for unknown IP address format. Remove UNKNOWN
type for zero-length value in the InetAddress since it will be never
zero-length due to the size restriction (0..64)
Addition of the ipv4z an ipv6z types for non-globally IP addresses in
which a scope identifier is needed. Addition of the scope of ipv6
type. All of them according to the RFC2851-update v04
o Clarify when mapping DNS <-> IPaddress occurs with the remote IP
addresses
o Conformance:
Description: Specify that the SCTP MIB only need to support IPv4/IPv6
addresses without a zone index, unknown type and DNS names. Support
for IPv4/IPv6 addresses with zone indices is not required.
InetAddressType for primary, local and remote IP addresses: Clarify
that the implementation is only required to support IPv4 and IPv6
address types without zone indices. Clarify also that UNKONWN type is
only used in case of local and remote addresses when invalid/unknown
IP address format
InetAddress value of primary, local and remote IP address: Removal of
the InetAddress values supported. Limitation of the supported IP
address types is already included in the InetAddressType
o Revision of the RFC2851-update v05. Changes in this draft does not
affect the SCTP MIB.
10.6 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-05.txt>
Changes due to the IPv6mib Design Team and the Sigtran mailing list.
o RFC2851-update v06 (changes) does not affect the SCTP MIB
o Typo errors
o Restructure the MIB organization (tree):
sctp
\- sctpParameters
\- sctpStats
o Modify conformance section according to the new MIB structure.
Statistics and lookup tables will be optional
Pastor, Belinchon [Page 45]
INTERNET-DRAFT SCTP MIB using SMIv2 December, 2001
o Clarify that the SCTP MIB is based on the TCP MIB update
(RFC2012update) and the TCs for Internet Network Addresses
(RFC2851update) û remove reference to RFC2452
o Replace "Sent" by "out" and "Received" by "in" in statistics
o Change the sctpAssocId to exclude the value zero. This allows other
MIBs to reference associations and to use the value 0 to indicate no
association
o Clarify sctpRemHostName to be zero-length value when no remote host
name was received at the initialization stage
o Limit the range of local and remote ports to (1..65535). Value 0
(unknown port number according to RFC2851-update) is not valid in
SCTP associations since there is no way of having an assoc with an
unknown local or remote port
o sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddressType and sctpAssocRemPrimaryAddress value
to be filled in with a zero length string until valid values are
received in the INIT or INIT ACK chunk
o sctpAssocRemAddress and sctpAssocLocalAddressIP size upper limit
restriction to 36, as TCP MIB
o Change to Counter64 those counters which may wrap in less than an
hour
o Change sctpMaxAssoc variable to Integer32 since value û1 is allowed
for dynamic maximum number of associations
o Added a new column in the association table to give a pointer to
the primary system level process which holds the association
endpoint(sctpAssocPrimaryProcess)
o Specify in the security section, which object should be handled
carefully for security reasons
10.7 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-06.txt>
o Change of the variable structure to:
MIB-2 {1 3 6 1 2 2}
