Definitions of Managed Objects for Network Address Translators (NATs)
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for devices implementing the Network Address Translator (NAT)
function. The new MIB module defined in this document, NATV2-MIB, is
intended to replace module NAT-MIB (RFC 4008). NATV2-MIB is not
backwards compatible with NAT-MIB, for reasons given in the text of
this document. A companion document deprecates all objects in NAT-
MIB. NATV2-MIB can be used for the monitoring of NAT instances on a
device capable of NAT function. Compliance levels are defined for
three application scenarios: basic NAT, pooled NAT, and
carrier-grade NAT (CGN).

RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
1. 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].
2. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for devices implementing NAT functions. This MIB module, NATV2-MIB,
may be used for the monitoring of such devices. NATV2-MIB supersedes
NAT-MIB [RFC4008], which did not fit well with existing NAT
implementations, and hence was not itself much implemented.
[RFC7658] provides a detailed analysis of the deficiencies of
NAT-MIB.
Relative to [RFC4008] and based on the analysis just mentioned, the
present document introduces the following changes:
o removed all writable configuration except that related to control
of the generation of notifications and the setting of quotas on
the use of NAT resources;
o minimized the read-only exposure of configuration to what is
needed to provide context for the state and statistical
information presented by the MIB module;
o removed the association between mapping and interfaces, retaining
only the mapping aspect;
o replaced references to NAT types with references to NAT behaviors
as specified in [RFC4787];
o replaced a module-specific enumeration of protocols with the
standard protocol numbers provided by the IANA Protocol Numbers
registry.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
This MIB module adds the following features not present in [RFC4008]:
o additional writable protective limits on NAT state data;
o additional objects to report state, statistics, and notifications;
o support for the carrier-grade NAT (CGN) application, including
subscriber-awareness, support for an arbitrary number of address
realms, and support for multiple NAT instances running on a single
device;
o expanded support for address pools;
o revised indexing of port map entries to simplify traceback from
externally observable packet parameters to the corresponding
internal endpoint.
These features are described in more detail below.
The remainder of this document is organized as follows:
o Section 3 provides a verbal description of the content and
organization of the MIB module.
o Section 4 provides the MIB module definition.
o Section 5 discusses operational and management issues relating to
the deployment of NATV2-MIB. One of these issues is NAT
management when both NAT-MIB [RFC4008] and NATV2-MIB are deployed.
o Sections 6 and 7 provide a security discussion and a request to
IANA for allocation of an object identifier for the module in the
mib-2 tree, respectively.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
[RFC2119].
This document uses the following terminology:
Upper-layer protocol: The protocol following the outer IP header of
a packet. This follows the terminology of [RFC2460], but as that
document points out, "upper" is not necessarily a correct
description of the protocol relationships (e.g., where IP is
encapsulated in IP). The abbreviated term "protocol" will often
be used where it is unambiguous.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
Trigger: With respect to notifications, the logical recognition of
the event that the notification is intended to report.
Report: The actual production of a notification message. Reporting
can happen later than triggering, or may never happen for a given
notification instance, because of the operation of notification
rate controls.
Address realm: A network domain in which the network addresses are
uniquely assigned to entities such that datagrams can be routed to
them. (Definition taken from [RFC2663], Section 2.1.) The
abbreviated term "realm" will often be used.
3. Overview
This section provides a prose description of the contents and
organization of the NATV2-MIB module.
3.1. Content Provided by the NATV2-MIB Module
The content provided by the NATV2-MIB module can be classed under
four headings: configuration data, notifications, state information,
and statistics.
3.1.1. Configuration Data
As mentioned above, the intent in designing the NATV2-MIB module was
to minimize the amount of configuration data presented to that needed
to give a context for interpreting the other types of information
provided. Detailed descriptions of the configuration data are
included with the descriptions of the individual tables. In general,
that data is limited to what is needed for indexing and cross-
referencing between tables. The two exceptions are the objects
describing NAT instance behavior in the NAT instance table and the
detailed enumeration of resources allocated to each address pool in
the pool table and its extension.
The NATV2-MIB module provides three sets of read-write objects,
specifically related to other aspects of the module content. The
first set controls the rate at which specific notifications are
generated. The second set provides thresholds used to trigger the
notifications. These objects are listed in Section 3.1.2.
A third set of read-write objects sets limits on resource consumption
per NAT instance and per subscriber. When these limits are reached,
packets requiring further consumption of the given resource are
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
dropped rather than translated. Statistics described in
Section 3.1.4 record the numbers of packets dropped. Limits are
provided for:
o total number of address map entries over the NAT instance. Limit
is set by object natv2InstanceLimitAddressMapEntries in table
natv2InstanceTable. Dropped packets are counted in
natv2InstanceAddressMapEntryLimitDrops in that table.
o total number of port map entries over the NAT instance. Limit is
set by object natv2InstanceLimitPortMapEntries in table
natv2InstanceTable. Dropped packets are counted in
natv2InstancePortMapEntryLimitDrops in that table.
o total number of held fragments (applicable only when the NAT
instance can receive fragments out of order; see [RFC4787],
Section 11). Limit is set by object
natv2InstanceLimitPendingFragments in table natv2InstanceTable.
Dropped packets are counted by natv2InstanceFragmentDrops in the
same table.
o total number of active subscribers (i.e., subscribers having at
least one mapping table entry) over the NAT instance. Limit is
set by object natv2InstanceLimitSubscriberActives in table
natv2InstanceTable. Dropped packets are counted by
natv2InstanceSubscriberActiveLimitDrops in the same table.
o number of port map entries for an individual subscriber. Limit is
set by object natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries in table
natv2SubscriberTable. Dropped packets are counted by
natv2SubscriberPortMapFailureDrops in the same table. Note that,
unlike in the instance table, the per-subscriber count is lumped
in with the count of packets dropped because of failures to
allocate a port map entry for other reasons to save on storage.
3.1.2. Notifications
NATV2-MIB provides five notifications, intended to provide warning of
the need to provision or reallocate NAT resources. As indicated in
the previous section, each notification is associated with two read-
write objects: a control on the rate at which that notification is
generated and a threshold value used to trigger the notification in
the first place. The default setting within the MIB module
specification is that all notifications are disabled. The setting of
threshold values is discussed in Section 5.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
The five notifications are as follows:
o Two notifications relate to the management of address pools. One
indicates that usage equals or exceeds an upper threshold and is
therefore a warning that the pool may be over-utilized unless more
addresses are assigned to it. The other notification indicates
that usage equals or has fallen below a lower threshold,
suggesting that some addresses allocated to that pool could be
reallocated to other pools. Address pool usage is calculated as
the percentage of the total number of ports allocated to the
address pool that are already in use, for the most-mapped protocol
at the time the notification is generated. The notifications
identify that protocol and report the number of port map entries
for that protocol in the given address pool at the moment the
notification was triggered.
o Two notifications relate to the number of address and port map
entries, respectively, in total over the whole NAT instance. In
both cases, the threshold that triggers the notification is an
upper threshold. The notifications return the number of mapping
entries of the given type, plus a cumulative counter of the number
of entries created in that mapping table at the moment the
notification was triggered. The intent is that the notifications
provide a warning that the total number of address or port map
entries is approaching the configured limit.
o The final notification is generated on a per-subscriber basis when
the number of port map entries for that subscriber crosses the
associated threshold. The objects returned by this notification
are similar to those returned for the instance-level mapping
notifications. This notification is a warning that the number of
port map entries for the subscriber is approaching the configured
limit for that subscriber.
Here is a detailed specification of the notifications. A given
notification can be disabled by setting the threshold to -1
(default).
Notification: natv2NotificationPoolUsageLow. Indicates that address
pool usage for the most-mapped protocol equals or is less than the
threshold value.
Compared value: natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries as a percentage of
total available ports in the pool.
Threshold: natv2PoolThresholdUsageLow in natv2PoolTable.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
Objects returned: natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries and
natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapProtocol in natv2PoolTable.
Rate control: natv2PoolNotificationInterval in natv2PoolTable.
Notification: natv2NotificationPoolUsageHigh. Indicates that address
pool usage for the most-mapped protocol has risen to the threshold
value or more.
Compared value: natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries as a percentage of
total available ports in the pool.
Threshold: natv2PoolThresholdUsageHigh in natv2PoolTable.
Objects returned: natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries and
natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapProtocol in natv2PoolTable.
Rate control: natv2PoolNotificationInterval in natv2PoolTable.
Notification: natv2NotificationInstanceAddressMapEntriesHigh.
Indicates that the total number of entries in the address map table
over the whole NAT instance equals or exceeds the threshold value.
Compared value: natv2InstanceAddressMapEntries in
natv2InstanceTable.
Threshold: natv2InstanceThresholdAddressMapEntriesHigh in
natv2InstanceTable.
Objects returned: natv2InstanceAddressMapEntries and
natv2InstanceAddressMapCreations in natv2InstanceTable.
Rate control: natv2InstanceNotificationInterval in
natv2InstanceTable.
Notification: natv2NotificationInstancePortMapEntriesHigh. Indicates
that the total number of entries in the port map table over the whole
NAT instance equals or exceeds the threshold value.
Compared value: natv2InstancePortMapEntries in natv2InstanceTable.
Threshold: natv2InstanceThresholdPortMapEntriesHigh in
natv2InstanceTable.
Objects returned: natv2InstancePortMapEntries and
natv2InstancePortMapCreations in natv2InstanceTable.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
Rate control: natv2InstanceNotificationInterval in
natv2InstanceTable.
Notification: natv2NotificationSubscriberPortMapEntriesHigh.
Indicates that the total number of entries in the port map table for
the given subscriber equals or exceeds the threshold value configured
for that subscriber.
Compared value: natv2SubscriberPortMapEntries in
natv2SubscriberTable.
Threshold: natv2SubscriberThresholdPortMapEntriesHigh in
natv2SubscriberTable.
Objects returned: natv2SubscriberPortMapEntries and
natv2SubscriberPortMapCreations in natv2SubscriberTable.
Rate control: natv2SubscriberNotificationInterval in
natv2SubscriberTable.
3.1.3. State Information
State information provides a snapshot of the content and extent of
the NAT mapping tables at a given moment of time. The address and
port mapping tables are described in detail below. In addition to
these tables, two state variables are provided: current number of
entries in the address mapping table, and current number of entries
in the port mapping table. With one exception, these are provided at
four levels of granularity: per NAT instance, per protocol, per
address pool, and per subscriber. Address map entries are not
tracked per protocol, since address mapping is protocol independent.
3.1.4. Statistics
NATV2-MIB provides a number of counters, intended to help with both
the provisioning of the NAT and the debugging of problems. As with
the state data, these counters are provided at the four levels of NAT
instance, protocol, address pool, and subscriber when they make
sense. Each counter is cumulative, beginning from a "last
discontinuity time" recorded by an object that is usually in the
table containing the counter.
The basic set of counters, as reflected in the NAT instance table, is
as follows:
Translations: number of packets processed and translated (in this
case, in total for the NAT instance).
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
Address map entry creations: cumulative number of address map
entries created, including static mappings.
Port map entry creations: cumulative number of port map entries
created, including static mappings.
Address map limit drops: cumulative number of packets dropped rather
than translated because the packet would have triggered the
creation of a new address mapping, but the configured limit on
number of address map entries has already been reached.
Port map limit drops: cumulative number of packets dropped rather
than translated because the packet would have triggered the
creation of a new port mapping, but the configured limit on number
of port map entries has already been reached.
Active subscriber limit drops: cumulative number of packets dropped
rather than translated because the packet would have triggered the
creation of a new address and/or port mapping for a subscriber
with no existing entries in either table, but the configured limit
on number of active subscribers has already been reached.
Address mapping failure drops: cumulative number of packets dropped
because the packet would have triggered the creation of a new
address mapping, but no address could be allocated in the external
realm concerned because all addresses from the selected address
pool (or the whole realm, if no address pool has been configured
for that realm) have already been fully allocated.
Port mapping failure drops: cumulative number of packets dropped
because the packet would have triggered the creation of a new port
mapping, but no port could be allocated for the protocol
concerned. The precise conditions under which these packet drops
occur depend on the pooling behavior [RFC4787] configured or
implemented in the NAT instance. See the DESCRIPTION clause for
the natv2InstancePortMapFailureDrops object for a detailed
description of the different cases. These cases were defined with
care to ensure that address mapping failure could be distinguished
from port mapping failure.
Fragment drops: cumulative number of packets dropped because the
packet contains a fragment, and the fragment behavior [RFC4787]
configured or implemented in the NAT instance indicates that the
packet should be dropped. The main case is a NAT instance that
meets REQ-14 of [RFC4787], hence it can receive and process out-
of-order fragments. In that case, dropping occurs only when the
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
configured limit on pending fragments provided by NATV2-MIB has
already been reached. The other cases are detailed in the
DESCRIPTION clause of the natv2InstanceFragmentBehavior object.
Other resource drops: cumulative number of packets dropped because
of unavailability of some other resource. The most likely case
would be packets where the upper-layer protocol is not one
supported by the NAT instance.
Table 1 indicates the granularities at which these statistics are
reported.

3.2. Outline of MIB Module Organization
Figure 1 shows how object identifiers are organized in the NATV2-MIB
module. Under the general natv2MIB object identifier in the mib-2
tree, the objects are classed into four groups:
natv2MIBNotifications(0): identifies the five notifications
described in Section 3.1.2.
natv2MIBDeviceObjects(1): identifies objects relating to the whole
device, specifically, the subscriber table.
natv2MIBInstanceObjects(2): identifies objects relating to
individual NAT instances. These include the NAT instance table,
the protocol table, the address pool table and its address range
expansion, the address map table, and the port map table.
natv2MIBConformance(3): identifies the group and compliance clauses,
specified for the three application scenarios described in
Section 3.4.

3.3. Detailed MIB Module Walk-Through
This section reviews the contents of the NATV2-MIB module. The table
descriptions include references to subsections of Section 3.1 where
desirable to avoid repetition of that information.
3.3.1. Textual Conventions
The module defines four key textual conventions: ProtocolNumber,
Natv2SubscriberIndex, Natv2InstanceIndex, and Natv2PoolIndex.
ProtocolNumber is based on the IANA registry of protocol numbers and
hence is potentially reusable by other MIB modules.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
Objects of type Natv2SubscriberIndex identify individual subscribers
served by the NAT device. The values of these identifiers are
administered and, in intent, are permanently associated with their
respective subscribers. Reuse of a value after a subscriber has been
deleted is discouraged. The scope of the subscriber index was
defined to be at the device rather than the NAT instance level to
make it easier to shift subscribers between instances (e.g., for load
balancing).
Objects of type Natv2InstanceIndex identify specific NAT instances on
the device. Again, these are administered values intended to be
permanently associated with the NAT instances to which they have been
assigned.
Objects of type Natv2PoolIndex identify individual address pools in a
given NAT instance. As with the subscriber and instance index
objects, the pool identifiers are administered and intended to be
permanently associated with their respective pools.
3.3.2. Notifications
Notifications were described in Section 3.1.2.
3.3.3. The Subscriber Table: natv2SubscriberTable
Table natv2SubscriberTable is indexed by the subscriber index. One
conceptual row contains information relating to a specific
subscriber: the subscriber's internal address or prefix for
correlation with other management information; state and statistical
information as described in Sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.4; the per-
subscriber control objects described in Section 3.1.1; and
natv2SubscriberDiscontinuityTime, which provides a timestamp of the
latest time following, which the statistics have accumulated without
discontinuity.
Turning back to the address information for a moment: this
information includes the identity of the address realm in which the
address is routable. That enables support of an arbitrary number of
address realms on the same NAT instance. Address realm identifiers
are administered values in the form of a limited-length
SnmpAdminString. In the absence of configuration to the contrary,
the default realm for all internal addresses as recorded in mapping
entries is "internal".
The term "address realm" is defined in [RFC2663], Section 2.1 and
reused in subsequent NAT-related documents.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
In the special case of Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite) [RFC6333], for
unique matching of the subscriber data to other information in the
MIB module, it is necessary that the address information should
relate to the outer IPv6 header of packets going to or from the host,
with the address realm being the one in which that IPv6 address is
routable. The presentation of address information for other types of
tunneled access to the NAT is out of scope.
3.3.4. The Instance Table: natv2InstanceTable
Table natv2InstanceTable is indexed by an object of type
Natv2InstanceIndex. A conceptual row of this table provides
information relating to a particular NAT instance configured on the
device.
Configuration information provided by this table includes an instance
name of type DisplayString that may have been configured for this
instance and a set of objects indicating, respectively, the port
mapping, filtering, pooling, and fragment behaviors configured or
implemented in the instance. These behaviors are all defined in
[RFC4787]. Their values affect the interpretation of some of the
statistics provided in the instance table.
Read-write objects listed in Section 3.1.2 set the notification rate
for instance-level notifications and set the thresholds that trigger
them. Additional read-write objects described in Section 3.1.1 set
limits on the number of address and port mapping entries, number of
pending fragments, and number of active subscribers for the instance.
The state and statistical information provided by this table consists
of the per-instance items described in Sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.4,
respectively. natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime is a timestamp giving
the time beyond which all of the statistical counters in
natv2InstanceTable are guaranteed to have accumulated continuously.
3.3.5. The Protocol Table: natv2ProtocolTable
The protocol table is indexed by the NAT instance number and an
object of type ProtocolNumber as described in Section 3.3.1 (i.e., an
IANA-registered protocol number). The set of protocols supported by
the NAT instance is implementation dependent, but they MUST include
ICMP(1), TCP(6), UDP(17), and ICMPv6(58). Depending on the
application, it SHOULD include IPv4 encapsulation(4), IPv6
encapsulation(41), IPsec AH(51), and SCTP(132). Support of PIM(103)
is highly desirable.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
This table includes no configuration information. The state and
statistical information provided by this table consists of the per-
protocol items described in Sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.4, respectively.
natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime in natv2InstanceTable is reused as the
timestamp giving the time beyond which all of the statistical
counters in natv2ProtocolTable are guaranteed to have accumulated
continuously. The reasoning is that any event affecting the
continuity of per-protocol statistics will affect the continuity of
NAT instance statistics, and vice versa.
3.3.6. The Address Pool Table: natv2PoolTable
The address pool table is indexed by the NAT instance identifier for
the instance on which it is provisioned, plus a pool index of type
Natv2PoolIndex. Configuration information provided includes the
address realm for which the pool provides addresses, the type of
address (IPv4 or IPv6) supported by the realm, plus the port range it
makes available for allocation. The same set of port numbers (or, in
the ICMP case, identifier values) is made available for every
protocol supported by the NAT instance. The port range is specified
in terms of minimum and maximum port number.
The state and statistical information provided by this table consists
of the per-pool items described in Sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.4
respectively, plus two additional state objects described below.
natv2PoolTable provides the pool-specific object
natv2PoolDiscontinuityTime to indicate the time since the statistical
counters have accumulated continuously.
Read-write objects to set high and low thresholds for pool usage
notifications and for governing the notification rate were identified
in Section 3.1.2.
Implementation note: the thresholds are defined in terms of
percentage of available port utilization. The number of available
ports in a pool is equal to (max port - min port + 1) (from the
natv2PoolTable configuration information) multiplied by the number
of addresses provisioned in the pool (sum of number of addresses
provided by each natv2PoolRangeTable conceptual row relating to
that pool). At configuration time, the thresholds can be
recalculated in terms of total number of port map entries
corresponding to the configured percentage, so that runtime
comparisons to the current number of port map entries require no
further arithmetic operations.
natv2PoolTable also provides two state objects that are returned with
the notifications. natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapProtocol identifies the
most-mapped protocol at the time the notification was triggered.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries provides the total number of port map
entries for that protocol using addresses owned by this pool at that
same time.
3.3.7. The Address Pool Address Range Table: natv2PoolRangeTable
natv2PoolRangeTable provides configuration information only. It is
an expansion of natv2PoolTable giving the address ranges with which a
given address pool has been configured. As such, it is indexed by
the combination of NAT instance index, address pool index, and a
conceptual row index, where each conceptual row conveys a different
address range. The address range is specified in terms of lowest
address, highest address rather than the usual prefix notation to
provide maximum flexibility.
3.3.8. The Address Map Table: natv2AddressMapTable
The address map table provides a table of mappings from internal to
external address at a given moment. It is indexed by the combination
of NAT instance index, internal realm, internal address type (IPv4 or
IPv6) in that realm, the internal address of the local host for which
the map entry was created, and a conceptual row index to traverse all
of the entries relating to the same internal address.
In the special case of DS-Lite [RFC6333], the internal address and
realm used in the index are those of the IPv6 outer header. The IPv4
source address for the inner header, for which [RFC6333] has reserved
addresses in the 192.0.0.0/29 range, is captured in two additional
objects in the corresponding conceptual row:
natv2AddressMapInternalMappedAddressType and
natv2AddressMapInternalMappedAddress. In cases other than DS-Lite
access, these objects have no meaning. (Other tunneled access is out
of scope.)
The additional information provided by natv2AddressMapTable consists
of the external realm, address type in that realm, and mapped
external address. Depending on implementation support, the table
also provides the index of the address pool from which the external
address was drawn and the index of the subscriber to which the map
entry belongs.
3.3.9. The Port Map Table: natv2PortMapTable
The port map table provides a table of mappings by protocol from
external port, address, and realm to internal port, address, and
realm. As such, it is indexed by the combination of NAT instance
index, protocol number, external realm identifier, address type in
that realm, external address, and external port. The mapping from
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 17]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
external realm, address, and port to internal realm, address, and
port is unique, so no conceptual row index is needed. The indexing
is designed to make it easy to trace individual sessions back to the
host, based on the contents of packets observed in the external
realm.
Beyond the indexing, the information provided by the port map table
consists of the internal realm, address type, address, and port
number, and, depending on implementation support, the index of the
subscriber to which the map entry belongs.
As with the address map table, special provision is made for the case
of DS-Lite [RFC6333]. The realm and outgoing source address are
those for the outer header, and the address type is IPv6. Additional
objects natv2PortMapInternalMappedAddressType and
natv2PortMapInternalMappedAddress capture the outgoing source address
in the inner header, which will be in the well-known 192.0.0.0/29
range.
3.4. Conformance: Three Application Scenarios
The conformance statements in NATV2-MIB provide for three application
scenarios: basic NAT, NAT supporting address pools, and CGN.
A basic NAT MAY limit the number of NAT instances it supports to one,
but it MUST support indexing by NAT instance. Similarly, a basic NAT
MAY limit the number of realms it supports to two. By definition, a
basic NAT is not required to support the subscriber table, the
address pool table, or the address pool address range table. Some
individual objects in other tables are also not relevant to basic
NAT.
A NAT supporting address pools adds the address pool table and the
address pool address range table to what it implements. Some
individual objects in other tables also need to be implemented. A
NAT supporting address pools MUST support more than two realms.
Finally, a CGN MUST support the full contents of the MIB module.
That includes the subscriber table, but it also includes the special
provision for DS-Lite access in the address and port map tables.

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The cumulative number of packets dropped because the
packet would have triggered the creation of a new
port mapping, but no port could be allocated for the
protocol concerned. The usual case for this will be
for a NAT instance that supports address pooling and
the 'Paired' pooling behavior recommended by RFC 4787,
where the internal endpoint has used up all of the
ports allocated to it for the address it was mapped to
in the selected address pool in the external realm
concerned and cannot be given more ports because
- policy or implementation prevents it from having a
second address in the same pool, and
- policy or unavailability prevents it from acquiring
more ports at its originally assigned address.
If the NAT instance supports address pooling but its
pooling behavior is 'Arbitrary' (meaning that
the NAT instance can allocate a new port mapping for
the given internal endpoint on any address in the
selected address pool and is not bound to what it has
already mapped for that endpoint), then this counter
is incremented when all ports for the protocol concerned
over the whole of the selected address pool are already
in use.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 30]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
As a third case, if no address pools have been configured
for the external realm concerned, then this counter is
incremented because all ports for the protocol involved over
the whole set of addresses available for that external realm
are already in use.
Finally, this counter is incremented if the packet would
have triggered the creation of a new port mapping, but the
current value of natv2SubscriberPortMapEntries equals or
exceeds the value of natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries
for this subscriber (unless that limit is disabled).
This value MUST be monotone increasing in the periods
between updates of the entity's
natv2SubscriberDiscontinuityTime. If a manager detects a
change in the latter since the last time it sampled this
counter, it SHOULD NOT make use of the difference between
the latest value of the counter and any value retrieved

DESCRIPTION
"Table of NAT instances. As well as state and counter
objects, it provides the instance index, instance name, and
the last discontinuity time object that is applicable to
the counters. It also contains writable thresholds for
reporting of notifications and limits on usage of resources
at the level of the NAT instance.
It is assumed that NAT instances can be created and deleted
dynamically, but this MIB module does not provide the means
to do so. For restrictions on assignment and maintenance of
the NAT index instance, see the description of
natv2InstanceIndex in the table below. For the requirements
on maintenance of the values of the counters in this table,
see the description of natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime in
this table.
Each NAT instance has its own resources and behavior. The
resources include memory as reflected in space for map
entries, processing power as reflected in the rate of map
creation and deletion, and mappable addresses in each realm
that can play the role of an external realm for at least
some mappings for that instance. The NAT instance table
includes limits and notification thresholds that relate to
memory usage for mapping at the level of the whole instance.
The limit on number of subscribers with active mappings is a
limit to some extent on processor usage.
The mappable 'external' addresses may or may not be
organized into address pools. For a definition of address
pools, see the description of natv2PoolTable. If the instance
does support address pools, it also has a pooling behavior.
Mapping, filtering, and pooling behavior are defined in the
descriptions of the natv2InstancePortMappingBehavior,
natv2InstanceFilteringBehavior, and
natv2InstancePoolingBehavior objects in this table. The
instance also has a fragmentation behavior, defined in the
description of the natv2InstanceFragmentBehavior object."

DESCRIPTION
"The cumulative number of packets dropped because the
packet would have triggered the creation of a new
port map entry, but no port could be allocated for the
protocol concerned. The usual case for this will be
for a NAT instance that supports address pooling and
the 'Paired' pooling behavior recommended by RFC 4787,
where the internal endpoint has used up all of the
ports allocated to it for the address it was mapped to
in the selected address pool in the external realm
concerned and cannot be given more ports because
- policy or implementation prevents it from having a
second address in the same pool, and
- policy or unavailability prevents it from acquiring
more ports at its originally assigned address.
If the NAT instance supports address pooling but its
pooling behavior is 'Arbitrary' (meaning that
the NAT instance can allocate a new port mapping for
the given internal endpoint on any address in the
selected address pool and is not bound to what it has
already mapped for that endpoint), then this counter
is incremented when all ports for the protocol concerned
over the whole of the selected address pool are already
in use.
Finally, if no address pools have been configured for the
external realm concerned, then this counter is incremented
because all ports for the protocol involved over the whole
set of addresses available for that external realm are
already in use.
This value MUST be monotone increasing in the periods
between updates of the entity's

change in the latter since the last time it sampled this

The usual case for this will be for a NAT instance that
supports address pooling and the 'Paired' pooling behavior
recommended by RFC 4787, where the internal endpoint has
used up all of the ports allocated to it for the address it
was mapped to in the selected address pool in the external
realm concerned and cannot be given more ports because
- policy or implementation prevents it from having a
second address in the same pool, and
- policy or unavailability prevents it from acquiring
more ports at its originally assigned address.
If the NAT instance supports address pooling but its
pooling behavior is 'Arbitrary' (meaning that
the NAT instance can allocate a new port mapping for
the given internal endpoint on any address in the
selected address pool and is not bound to what it has
already mapped for that endpoint), then this counter
is incremented when all ports for the protocol concerned
over the whole of the selected address pool are already
in use.
Finally, if the NAT instance has no configured address
pooling, then this counter is incremented because all
ports for the protocol concerned over the whole of the
NAT instance for the external realm concerned are already
in use.
This value MUST be monotone increasing in the periods
between updates of the NAT instance
natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime. If a manager detects a

"Table of port map entries indexed by the NAT instance,
protocol, and external realm and address. A port map entry
associates an internal upper-layer protocol endpoint with an
endpoint for the same protocol in the given external realm.
By definition, this is a snapshot of NAT instance state at
a given moment. The table provides the basic mapping
information.
In the case of DS-Lite (RFC 6333), the table provides the
internal IPv6 tunnel source address in
natv2PortMapInternalRealmAddress and the IPv4 source address
of the encapsulated packet that is actually translated in
natv2PortMapInternalMappedAddress. In the general (non-DS-
Lite) case, those two objects will have the same value."

5. Operational and Management Considerations
This section covers two particular areas of operations and
management: configuration requirements and transition from or
coexistence with the MIB module in [RFC4008].
5.1. Configuration Requirements
This MIB module assumes that the following information is configured
on the NAT device by means outside the scope of the present document
or is imposed by the implementation:
o the set of address realms to which the device connects;
o for the CGN application, per-subscriber information including
subscriber index, address realm, assigned prefix or address, and
(possibly) policies regarding address pool selection in the
various possible address realms to which the subscriber may
connect. In the particular case of DS-Lite [RFC6333] access, as
well as the assigned outer-layer (IPv6) prefix or address, the
subscriber information will include an inner (IPv4) source
address, usually 192.0.0.2;
o the set of NAT instances running on the device, identified by NAT
instance index and name;
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 74]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
o the port mapping, filtering, pooling, and fragment behavior for
each NAT instance;
o the set of protocols supported by each NAT instance;
o for the pooled NAT and CGN applications, address pool information
for each NAT instance, including for each pool the pool index,
address realm, address type, minimum and maximum port number, the
address ranges assigned to that pool, and policies for access to
that pool's resources;
o static address and port map entries.
As described in previous sections, this MIB module does provide read-
write objects for control of notifications (see especially
Section 3.1.2) and limiting of resource consumption (Section 3.1.1).
This document is written in advance of any practical experience with
the setting of these values and can thus provide only general
principles for how to set them.
By default, the MIB module definition disables notifications until
they are explicitly enabled by the operator, using the associated
threshold value to do so. To make use of the notifications, the
operator may wish to take the following considerations into account.
Except for the low address pool utilization notification, the
notifications imply that some sort of administrative action is
required to mitigate an impending shortage of a particular resource.
The choice of value for the triggering threshold needs to take two
factors into account: the volatility of usage of the given resource,
and the amount of time the operator needs to mitigate the potential
overload situation. That time could vary from almost immediate to
several weeks required to order and install new hardware or software.
To give a numeric example, if average utilization is going up 1% per
week but can vary 10% around that average in any given hour, and it
takes two weeks to carry through mitigating measures, the threshold
should be set to 88% of the corresponding limit (two weeks' growth
plus 10% volatility margin). If mitigating measures can be carried
out immediately, this can rise to 90%. For this particular example,
that change is insignificant, but in other cases the difference may
be large enough to matter in terms of reduced load on the management
plane.
The notification rate-limit settings really depend on the operator's
processes but are a tradeoff between reliably reporting the notified
condition and not having it overload the management plane.
Reliability rises in importance with the importance of the resource
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 75]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
involved. Thus, the default notification intervals defined in this
MIB module range from 10 seconds (high reliability) for the address
and port map entry thresholds up to 60 seconds (lower reliability)
for the per-subscriber port entry thresholds. Experience may suggest
better values.
The limits on number of instance-level address map and port map
entries and held fragments relate directly to memory allocations for
these tables. The relationship between number of map entries or
number of held fragments and memory required will be implementation-
specific. Hence it is up to the implementor to provide specific
advice on the setting of these limits.
The limit on simultaneous number of active subscribers is indirectly
related to memory consumption for map entries, but also to processor
usage by the NAT instance. The best strategy for setting this limit
would seem to be to leave it disabled during an initial period while
observing device processor utilization, then to implement a trial
setting while observing the number of blocked packets affected by the
new limit. The setting may vary by NAT instance if a suitable
estimator of likely load (e.g., total number of hosts served by that
instance) is available.
5.2. Transition from and Coexistence with NAT-MIB (RFC 4008)
A manager may have to deal with a mixture of devices supporting the
NAT-MIB module [RFC4008] and the NATV2-MIB module defined in the
present document. It is even possible that both modules are
supported on the same device. The following discussion brings out
the limits of comparability between the two MIB modules. A first
point to note is that NAT-MIB is primarily focused on configuration,
while NATV2-MIB is primarily focused on measurements.
To summarize the model used by [RFC4008]:
o The basic unit of NAT configuration is the interface.
o An interface connects to a single realm, either "private" or
"public". In principle that means there could be multiple
instances of one type of realm or the other, but the number is
physically limited by the number of interfaces on the NAT device.
o Before the NAT can operate on a given interface, an "address map"
has to be configured on it. The address map in [RFC4008] is
equivalent to the pool tables in the present document. Since just
one "address map" is configured per interface, this is the
equivalent of a single address pool per interface.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 76]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
o The address binding and port binding tables are roughly equivalent
to the address map and port map tables in the present document in
their content, but they can be either unidirectional or
bidirectional. The model in [RFC4008] shows the address binding
and port binding as alternative precursors to session
establishment, depending on whether the device does address
translation only or address and port translation. In contrast,
NATV2-MIB assumes a model where bidirectional port mappings are
based on bidirectional address mappings that have conceptually
been established beforehand.
o The equivalent to an [RFC4008] session in NATV2-MIB would be a
pair of port map entries. The added complexity in [RFC4008] is
due to the modeling of NAT service types as defined in [RFC3489]
(the symmetric NAT in particular) instead of the more granular set
of behaviors described in [RFC4787]. (Note: [RFC3489] has been
obsoleted by [RFC5389].)
With regard to that last point, the mapping between [RFC3489] service
types and [RFC4787] NAT behaviors is as follows:
o A full cone NAT exhibits endpoint-independent port mapping
behavior and endpoint-independent filtering behavior.
o A restricted cone NAT exhibits endpoint-independent port mapping
behavior, but address-dependent filtering behavior.
o A port restricted cone NAT exhibits endpoint-independent port
mapping behavior, but address-and-port-dependent filtering
behavior.
o A symmetric NAT exhibits address-and-port-dependent port mapping
and filtering behaviors.
Note that these NAT types are a subset of the types that could be
configured according to the [RFC4787] behavioral classification used
in NATV2-MIB, but they include the two possibilities (full and
restricted cone NAT) that satisfy requirements REQ-1 and REQ-8 of
[RFC4787]. Note further that other behaviors defined in [RFC4787]
are not considered in [RFC4008].
Having established a context for discussion, we are now in a position
to compare the outputs provided to management from the [RFC4008] and
NATV2-MIB modules. This comparison relates to the ability to compare
results if testing with both MIBs implemented on the same device
during a transition period.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 77]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
[RFC4008] provides three counters: incoming translations, outgoing
translations, and discarded packets, at the granularities of
interface, address map, and protocol, and incoming and outgoing
translations at the levels of individual address bind, address port
bind, and session entries. Implementation at the protocol and
address map levels is optional. NATV2-MIB provides a single total
(both directions) translations counter at the instance, protocol
within instance, and subscriber levels. Given the differences in
granularity, it appears that the only comparable measurement of
translations between the two MIB modules would be through aggregation
of the [RFC4008] interface counters to give a total number of
translations for the NAT instance.
NATV2-MIB has broken out the single discard counter into a number of
different counters reflecting the cause of the discard in more
detail, to help in troubleshooting. Again, with the differing levels
of granularity, the only comparable statistic would be through
aggregation to a single value of total discards per NAT instance.
Moving on to state variables, [RFC4008] offers counts of number of
"address map" (i.e., address pool) entries used (excluding static
entries) at the address map level and number of entries in the
address bind and address and port bind tables, respectively.
Finally, [RFC4008] provides a count of the number of sessions
currently using each entry in the address and port bind table. None
of these counts are directly comparable with the state values offered
by NATV2-MIB, because of the exclusion of static entries at the
address map level, and because of the differing models of the
translation tables between [RFC4008] and the NATV2-MIB.
6. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. 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 opens devices to attack. These are the tables and objects
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
Limits: An attacker setting a very low or very high limit can easily
cause a denial-of-service situation.
* natv2InstanceLimitAddressMapEntries;
* natv2InstanceLimitPortMapEntries;
* natv2InstanceLimitPendingFragments;
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 78]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
* natv2InstanceLimitSubscriberActives;
* natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries.
Notification thresholds: An attacker setting an arbitrarily low
threshold can cause many useless notifications to be generated
(subject to the notification interval). Setting an arbitrarily
high threshold can effectively disable notifications, which could
be used to hide another attack.
* natv2InstanceThresholdAddressMapEntriesHigh;
* natv2InstanceThresholdPortMapEntriesHigh;
* natv2PoolThresholdUsageLow;
* natv2PoolThresholdUsageHigh;
* natv2SubscriberThresholdPortMapEntriesHigh.
Notification intervals: An attacker setting a low notification
interval in combination with a low threshold value can cause many
useless notifications to be generated.
* natv2InstanceNotificationInterval;
* natv2PoolNotificationInterval;
* natv2SubscriberNotificationInterval.
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:
Objects that reveal host identities: Various objects can reveal the
identity of private hosts that are engaged in a session with
external end nodes. A curious outsider could monitor these to
assess the number of private hosts being supported by the NAT
device. Further, a disgruntled former employee of an enterprise
could use the information to break into specific private hosts by
intercepting the existing sessions or originating new sessions
into the host. If nothing else, unauthorized monitoring of these
objects will violate individual subscribers' privacy.
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 79]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
* entries in the natv2SubscriberTable;
* entries in the natv2AddressMapTable;
* entries in the natv2PortMapTable.
Other objects that reveal NAT state: Other managed objects in this
MIB may contain information that may be sensitive from a business
perspective, in that they may represent NAT capabilities, business
policies, and state information.
* natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries;
* natv2InstancePortMappingBehavior;
* natv2InstanceFilteringBehavior;
* natv2InstancePoolingBehavior;
* natv2InstanceFragmentBehavior;
* natv2InstanceAddressMapEntries;
* natv2InstancePortMapEntries.
There are no objects that are sensitive in their own right, such as
passwords or monetary amounts.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
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.
Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the
SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming
compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for
authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
[RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826]. Implementations
MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
[RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
[RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].
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
Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 80]
RFC 7659 NAT MIB October 2015
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
7. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned an object identifier to the natv2MIB module, with
prefix iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 in the SMI Numbers registry
[SMI-NUMBERS].
