Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes objects used for managing Path Computation Elements Discovery. 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 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]. 3. Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL", when they appear in this document, are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 4. Terminology The terminology used in this document is built on notions introduced and discussed in PCE WG documents. The reader should be familiar with these documents Domain: any collection of network elements within a common sphere of address management or path computational responsibility. IGP Area: OSPF Area or ISIS level. PCC: Stephan Expires April 18, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft PCE-DISC-STD-MIB October 2006 Path Computation Client: any client application requesting a path computation to be performed by a Path Computation Element. PCE: Path Computation Element: an entity (component, application, or network node) that is capable of computing a network path or route based on a network graph, and applying computational constraints. 5. Overview [RFC4655], describes the architecture for a PCE-based path computation model for MPLS and GMPLS TE LSPs. The architecture allows the separation of PCE from PCC. It requires that a PCC be aware of the location of one or more PCEs. This relies on a communication protocol between PCC and PCE for automatic and dynamic PCE discovery. [RFC4674] defines the mechanism and the information of PCE discovery. [I-D.ietf-pce-disco-proto-igp] declines theses components for PCCs participating to an IGP routing domain: o The discovery mechanism relies on IGP (OSPF, ISIS) routing protocols; o It defines the information elements a PCE participating in the IGP advertises in IGP extensions. The section "6.10.2.1. PCC MIB module " of [RFC4674] identifies the information to be disclosed on the management interface of the PCC. The current MIB module defines the corresponding objects. 6. Structure of the MIB Module Objects in this MIB module are arranged into groups. Each group is organized as a set of related objects. The overall structure and assignment of objects to their groups, and the intended purpose of each group, is shown below. 6.1. The Discovery objects These objects provide PCE discovery information and discovery activities. It includes: - A control to disable the automatic discovery mechanism; - The number of known PCEs; Stephan Expires April 18, 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft PCE-DISC-STD-MIB October 2006 - The number of discovered PCEs; - The set of known PCEs. pceDiscoveryTable gives discovery information per PCE: - Addresses, discovery Mechanism type; - Discovery time, last activity time; - congestion and congestion duration; pceDiscoveryActTable gives discovery activity per PCE: * discovery protocol activity: these objects will define the average and maximum rates of arrival, departure and modification of PCE discovery to enable effective analysis of the operation of the protocols. * these objects will report on the operation of the discovery protocol by counting the number of unacceptable and incomprehensible information exchanges. 6.2. General PCEs capabilities objects These objects provides general information per PCE regarding PCE- PATHSCOPE, PCE-DOMAINS and PCE-DEST-DOMAINS CapPathScopeTable defines PCE computation capabilities and PCE preferences per kind of routing domain. CapDomainTable defines domains for which a PCE has topology visibility and can compute paths. CapDestDomainTable defines domains toward which a PCE can compute path. 6.3. PCEs Computation options objects These objects provides information per PCE regarding GENERAL-CAP and PATH-COMP-CAP. 6.4. The Notification Group This group will define notifications when thresholds (e.g. on the maximum rate of change, on the number of unacceptable messages) are crossed, or when important events occur (e.g. the number of discovered PCEs decreases to zero). 7. Relationship to Other MIB Modules Stephan Expires April 18, 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft PCE-DISC-STD-MIB October 2006 7.1. Relationship to IGP MIB modules PCE Discovery relies on existing protocols which have specialized MIB objects to monitor protocol activities. Consequently this document considers that the monitoring of the undelying protocol in out of the scope of the current MIB module. 7.2. MIB modules required for IMPORTS The following MIB module IMPORTS objects from SNMPv2-SMI [RFC2578], SNMPv2-TC [RFC2579], SNMPv2-CONF [RFC2580], and IF-MIB [RFC2863] and also REFERENCEs document RFC0768 [RFC0768] 8.

Security Considerations There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with 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. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: o on/off of discovery : Unauthorized changes to pceDiscoveryAdminStatus could result in a temporary interruption of the discovery ; 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: o IP addresses of PCE. SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module. It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy). Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate Stephan Expires April 18, 2007 [Page 20] Internet-Draft PCE-DISC-STD-MIB October 2006 rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them. 10.

Appendix B. Editing MIB module in XML This section must be removed before this document hits the IESG. This section is not related to PCE WG. It focuses on MIB document editing, and XML editing of MIB module using xxe pluging and xml2rfc. Prior to the edition of the document the author initiated a discussion with the Rfc-editor regarding the way to write SMI definition in XML. This discussion has 2 results: 1. This document use some material from "MIB Module Document Text Template" [I-D.harrington-text-mib-doc-template].; 2. Regarding xml2rfc usage, currently MIB modules are writen in raw text encapsulated in XML
and tokens. So the editor must take care of all formating aspecs such as the length of each line, bullet tabulation... This is against the spirit of xml2rfc and of XML. So I writen this MIB module using XML tokens to let xml2rfc deals with the formating of the document. The results are excellent: 1. The text version of this MIB module does not differ from a mib module handcrafted; 2. smilint does not detect any difference; Stephan Expires April 18, 2007 [Page 22] Internet-Draft PCE-DISC-STD-MIB October 2006 3. The editong with xxe is user friendly; 3. Conclusion: 1. Writing MIB module in XML is the right direction. 2. MIB module editing will be very fast if we define a set of XML templates for SMI objects definition. These definitions should be added to"MIB Module Document Template" [I-D.harrington-xml2rfc-mib-doc-template]. Following are some comments related to "MIB Module Document Text Template" [I-D.harrington-text-mib-doc-template] : 1. It should help to determine which SNMP and SMI rfc are normative or informative.
