    Definitions of Textual Conventions (TCs) for Multiprotocol Label
                      Switching (MPLS) Management
                    draft-manral-mpls-rfc3811bis-03

Abstract

   This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module which
   contains Textual Conventions to represent commonly used Multiprotocol
   Label Switching (MPLS) management information.  The intent is that
   these TEXTUAL CONVENTIONS (TCs) will be imported and used in MPLS
   related MIB modules that would otherwise define their own
   representations.

   This document obsoletes RFC3811 as it addresses the need to support
   IPv6 extended TunnelID's by defining a new TC-
   MplsNewExtendedTunnelID which suggests using IPv4 address of the
   ingress or egress LSR for the tunnel for an IPv6 network.  Changes
   from RFC3811 and the effect of the new TC to other related documents
   are summarized in Section 4 and 5, respectively.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines a MIB module which contains Textual Conventions
   (TCs) for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks.  These
   Textual Conventions should be imported by MIB modules which manage
   MPLS networks.  The need to support IPv6 extended TunnelID's is
   addressed by defining a new TC-MplsNewExtendedTunnelID which may
   represent an IPv4 address of the ingress or egress LSR for the tunnel
   for an IPv4 network or an IPv6 network.

   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].

   For an introduction to the concepts of MPLS, see [RFC3031].

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], and [RFC2580]).

      MplsLabel ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
      STATUS        current
      DESCRIPTION
      "This value represents an MPLS label as defined in
      [RFC3031],  [RFC3032], [RFC3034], [RFC3035] and
      [RFC3471].

      The label contents are specific to the label being
      represented, such as:

      * The label carried in an MPLS shim header
        (for LDP this is the Generic Label) is a 20-bit
        number represented by 4 octets.  Bits 0-19 contain
        a label or a reserved label value.  Bits 20-31
        MUST be zero.

      The following is quoted directly from [RFC3032].
      There are several reserved label values:

      i.   A value of 0 represents the
           'IPv4 Explicit NULL Label'.  This label
           value is only legal at the bottom of the
           label stack.  It indicates that the label
           stack must be popped, and the forwarding
           of the packet must then be based on the
           IPv4 header.

      ii.  A value of 1 represents the
           'Router Alert Label'.  This label value is
           legal anywhere in the label stack except at
           the bottom.  When a received packet
           contains this label value at the top of
           the label stack, it is delivered to a
           local software module for processing.
           The actual forwarding of the packet
           is determined by the label beneath it
           in the stack.  However, if the packet is
           forwarded further, the Router Alert Label
           should be pushed back onto the label stack
           before forwarding.  The use of this label

Internet-Draft                 rfc3811bis                      June 2013


           is analogous to the use of the
           'Router Alert Option' in IP packets
           [RFC2113].  Since this label
           cannot occur at the bottom of the stack,
           it is not associated with a
           particular network layer protocol.

      iii. A value of 2 represents the
           'IPv6 Explicit NULL Label'.  This label
           value is only legal at the bottom of the
           label stack.  It indicates that the label
           stack must be popped, and the forwarding
           of the packet must then be based on the
           IPv6 header.

      iv.  A value of 3 represents the
           'Implicit NULL Label'.
           This is a label that an LSR may assign and
           distribute, but which never actually
           appears in the encapsulation.  When an
           LSR would otherwise replace the label
           at the top of the stack with a new label,
           but the new label is 'Implicit NULL',
           the LSR will pop the stack instead of
           doing the replacement.  Although
           this value may never appear in the
           encapsulation, it needs to be specified in
           the Label Distribution Protocol, so a value
           is reserved.

      v.   Values 4-15 are reserved.

      * The frame relay label can be either 10-bits or
        23-bits depending on the DLCI field size and the
        upper 22-bits or upper 9-bits must be zero,
        respectively.

      * For an ATM label the lower 16-bits represents the
        VCI, the next 12-bits represents the VPI and the
        remaining bits MUST be zero.

      * The Generalized-MPLS (GMPLS) label contains a
        value greater than 2^24-1 and used in GMPLS
        as defined in [RFC3471]."

      DESCRIPTION
      "A unique identifier within an MPLS network that is
      assigned to each LSP.  This is assigned at the head
      end of the LSP and can be used by all LSRs
      to identify this LSP.  This value is piggybacked by
      the signaling protocol when this LSP is signaled
      within the network.  This identifier can then be
      used at each LSR to identify which labels are
      being swapped to other labels for this LSP.  This
      object  can also be used to disambiguate LSPs that
      share the same RSVP sessions between the same
      source and destination.

      For LSPs established using CR-LDP, the LSPID is
      composed of the ingress LSR Router ID (or any of
      its own IPv4 addresses) and a locally unique
      CR-LSP ID to that LSR.  The first two bytes carry
      the CR-LSPID, and the remaining 4 bytes carry
      the Router ID.  The LSPID is useful in network
      management, in CR-LSP repair, and in using
      an already established CR-LSP as a hop in
      an ER-TLV.

      For LSPs signaled using RSVP-TE, the LSP ID is
      defined as a 16-bit (2 byte) identifier used
      in the SENDER_TEMPLATE and the FILTER_SPEC
      that can be changed to allow a sender to
      share resources with itself.  The length of this
      object should only be 2 or 6 bytes.  If the length
      of this octet string is 2 bytes, then it must
      identify an RSVP-TE LSPID, or it is 6 bytes,
      it must contain a CR-LDP LSPID."

      STATUS     current
      DESCRIPTION
      "Denotes a generic Tunnel hop address,
      that is, the address of a node which
      an LSP traverses, including the source
      and destination nodes.  An address may be
      very concrete, for example, an IPv4 host
      address (i.e., with prefix length 32);
      if this IPv4 address is an interface
      address, then that particular interface
      must be traversed.  An address may also
      specify an 'abstract node', for example,
      an IPv4 address with prefix length
      less than 32, in which case, the LSP
      can traverse any node whose address
      falls in that range.  An address may
      also specify an Autonomous System (AS),
      in which  case the LSP can traverse any
      node that falls within that AS.

      A TeHopAddress value is always interpreted within
      the context of an TeHopAddressType value.  Every
      usage of the TeHopAddress TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
      is required to specify the TeHopAddressType object
      which provides the context.  It is suggested that
      the TeHopAddressType object is logically registered
      before the object(s) which use the TeHopAddress
      TEXTUAL-CONVENTION if they appear in the
      same logical row.

      The value of a TeHopAddress object must always be
      consistent with the value of the associated
      TeHopAddressType object.  Attempts to set a
      TeHopAddress object to a value which is
      inconsistent with the associated TeHopAddressType
      must fail with an inconsistentValue error."

4.  Changes from RFC3811

   Following is the list of technical changes and other fixes from
   RFC3811.

   Main purpose of this work is to address the need to support IPv6
   extended TunnelID's by defining a new TC-MplsNewExtendedTunnelID,
   resulting in the following changes:

   Old MplsExtendedTunnelId status is changed to obsolete.

   A new defined MplsNewExtendedTunnelId is added as below.

      MplsNewExtendedTunnelId ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
      STATUS        current
      DESCRIPTION
      "A unique identifier for an MPLS Tunnel.  This may
      represent an IPv4 address of the ingress or egress
      LSR for the tunnel for an IPv4 network.  For IPv6
      this represents an IPv4 address of the ingress or
      egress LSR for the tunnel for an IPv6 network.
      This value is derived from the
      Extended Tunnel Id in RSVP or the Ingress Router ID
      for CR-LDP."

      SYNTAX  OCTET STRING(SIZE(16))


5.  Effect of the new TC

   The new TC definition for the MPLS Tunnel will have an effect on the
   MPLS-TE-MIB and MPLS-TC-STD-MIB.  Also the following RFCs which use
   the MIB may have to be updated to accommodate the changed definition:
   [RFC3209], [RFC3812], [RFC3813], [RFC3212], [RFC4368], [RFC3814],
   [RFC3815], and [RFC6639].

6.  Contributors

   This MIB fixes a small issue with the earlier version of this MIB as
   defined in RFC3811.The earlier document was created by combining
   TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONS from current MPLS MIBs and a TE-WG MIB.  Co-
   authors on each of these MIBs contributed to the TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONS
   contained in this MIB and also contributed greatly to the revisions
   of this document.  These co-authors are:

7.  Acknowledgements

   The author would like to thank Adrian Farrel and Thomas Nadeau for
   thier guidance.  The earlier editors and contributors would like to
   thank Mike MacFadden and Adrian Farrel for their helpful comments on
   several reviews.  Also, a special acknowledgement to Bert Wijnen for
   his many detailed reviews.  Bert's assistance and guidance is greatly
   appreciated.

8.  Security Considerations

   This module does not define any management objects.  Instead, it
   defines a set of textual conventions which may be used by other MPLS
   MIB modules to define management objects.

   Meaningful security considerations can only be written in the MIB
   modules that define management objects.  Therefore, this document has
   no impact on the security of the Internet.

9.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has made a MIB OID assignment under the transmission branch,
   that is, assigned the mplsStdMIB under { transmission 166 }.  This
   sub-id is requested because 166 is the ifType for mpls(166) and is
   available under transmission.

   In the future, MPLS related standards track MIB modules should be
   rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree.  The IANA is requested to manage
   that namespace.  New assignments can only be made via a Standards
   Action as specified in [RFC2434].

   The IANA has also assigned { mplsStdMIB 1 } to the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB
   specified in this document.
