Re: [Sip] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-sip-mib-05.txt



I have begun to look at the mib a bit, and I am a bit concerned that there is far too much information exposed, in terms of statistics, at least. I have to apologize for raising this so late in the game, but it is only recently that my day job has brought me into OAMP areas.

One item that struck me as particularly demanding on an implementation is the sipTransactionTable. There is a huge amount of work in maintaining this table. I really doubt people will want to implement it. My suspicion is that this kind of information will normally be logged by implementations, and when you need it, its not in real time, but rather through some kind of offline analysis of the logs.

Generally, it is my perception that MIB status variables are primarily aimed at fault and performance analysis. I dont see how a full list of each transaction, with the call-id, cseq and all, supports either aim.

Thanks,
Jonathan R.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Session Initiation Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

Title : Management Information Base for Session Initiation Protocol
Author(s) : K. Lingle, J. Maeng, J. Mule, D. Walker
Filename : draft-ietf-sip-mib-05.txt
Pages : 97
Date : 2003-3-6

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 a set of managed objects that are used to manage Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) entities, which include User Agents, Proxy servers, Redirect servers and Registrars.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
