Abstract This memo describes a SMIv2 MIB for a device implementing the Differentiated Services Architecture [DSARCH], described in detail by the Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers [MODEL]. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 1] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 1. The SNMP Management Framework The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components: o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1]. o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in RFC 1155 [2], RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in RFC 2578 [5], RFC 2579 [6] and RFC 2580 [7]. o Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described in RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574 [12]. o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13]. o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [15]. A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework can be found in RFC 2570 [16]. 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. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 2] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 2. Introduction 2.1. Relationship to the Informal Management Model for Diffserv Router This MIB is designed according to [MODEL]. The model describes the way that ingress and egress interfaces of an 'n'-port router are modeled. It describes the configuration and management of a Diffserv interface in terms of one or more Traffic Conditioning Block (TCB), each containing, arranged in the specified order, by definition, zero or more classifiers, meters, actions, algorithmic droppers, queues and schedulers. Traffic may be classified; classified traffic may be metered; each stream of traffic identified by a combination of classifiers and meters may have some set of actions performed on it; it may have dropping algorithms applied and it may ultimately be stored into a queue before being scheduled out to its next destination, either onto a link or to another TCB. When the treatment for a given packet must have any of those elements repeated in a way that breaks the permitted sequence {classifier, meter, action, algorithmic dropper, queue, scheduler}, this must be modeled by cascading multiple TCBs. The MIB represents this cascade by following the "Next" attributes of the various elements. They indicate what the next step in Diffserv processing will be, whether it be a classifier, meter, action, algorithmic dropper, queue, scheduler or a decision to now forward a packet. The MIB models the individual elements that make up the TCBs. The higher level concept of a TCB is not required in the parameterization or in the linking together of the individual elements, hence it is not used in the MIB itself and is only mentioned in the text for relating the MIB with the [MODEL]. The actual distinguishing of which TCB a specific element is a part of is not needed for the instrumentation of a device to support the functionality of Diffserv, but it is useful for conceptual reasons. By not using the TCB concept, this MIB allows any grouping of elements to construct TCBs using the rules defined by [MODEL]: that document should be consulted for the allowed combinations of elements that make up a TCB. This will minimize changes to this MIB if rules in [MODEL] changes. The notion of a Data Path is used in this MIB to indicate the Diffserv processing a packet may experience. This Data Path is distinguished based on the Interface and the Direction of the flow the packet is part of. A Data Path Table Entry indicates the first of possibly multiple elements that will apply Diffserv treatment to the packet. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 3] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 2.2. Relationship to other MIBs and Policy Management This MIB provides for direct reporting and manipulation of the most detailed functional elements described by [MODEL]. These elements are designed with their parameterization tables separated from their data path linkage tables, allowing reuse of each table as much as possible. The data path linkage in this MIB is coupled with an interface through the use of the diffServDataPathTable. The concept of "interface" is as defined by InterfaceIndex/ifIndex of the IETF Interfaces MIB [IFMIB]. Other MIBs and data structure definitions for policy management mechanisms other than SNMP/SMIv2 are likely to exist in the future for the purposes of abstracting the model in other ways. In particular, abstractions in the direction of less detailed definitions of Diffserv functionality are likely e.g. some form of "Per-Hop Behavior"-based definition involving a template of detailed object values which is applied to specific instances of objects in this MIB semi-automatically. Another possible direction of abstraction is one using a concept of "roles" (often, but not always, applied to interfaces). In this case, it may be possible to re-use the object definitions in this MIB, especially the parameterization tables. The Data Path table will help in the reuse of the data path linkage tables by having the interface specific information centralized, allowing easier mechanical replacement of ifIndex by some sort of "roleIndex". Work is ongoing in this area. 2.3. MIB Overview This MIB is structured based on the need to describe the sequential Diffserv treatments being applied to a packet, and the parameterization of these treatments. These two requirements are kept separate throughout the design of this MIB, and are fulfilled using separate tables and data definitions. In this MIB, we model the ingress and egress portions of a Diffserv network device identically, making the distinction between them an index variable. Each interface then performs some or all of the following high-level functions: o Classify each packet according to some set of rules o Determine whether the packet's data stream is conforming or not conforming to its permitted rates Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 4] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 o Perform a set of resulting actions, possibly including counting the traffic, application of an appropriate drop policy and marking of the traffic with a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) as defined in [DSFIELD]. o Enqueue the traffic for output in the appropriate queue, whose scheduler may shape the traffic or simply forward it with some minimum rate or maximum latency. The MIB therefore contains the following elements: Data Path Table This is the starting point of Diffserv data paths within a single Diffserv device. Data paths defined by this table are interface and interface direction specific. Classifier and Filter Tables A general extensible framework and one example of a filter table (an IP Six-Tuple Multi-Field Classification Table). Meter Tables A general extensible framework and one example of a parameterization table - TBMeter table, applicable for Simple Token Bucket Meter, Average Rate Meter, Single Rate Three Color Meter, Two Rate Three Color Meter, and Sliding Window Three Color Meter. Action Tables A general extensible framework and examples of parameterization tables for Absolute Drop, Mark and Count actions. The "multiplexer" and "null" actions described in [MODEL] are accomplished implicitly by means of the RowPointer structures of the other elements. Queue, Scheduler and Algorithmic Dropper Tables A general extensible framework for parameterizing queuing and scheduler systems. The queue measurement dependent algorithmic droppers are also described here. 3. Structure of this MIB This MIB is structured with separate tables for purpose of Diffserv data path description and Diffserv treatment parameterization of the Diffserv device. The data path description and/or the treatment parameterization tables can each be reused independently, allowing the flexibility to maintain a common data construct for Diffserv device configuration and provisioning, independent of the configuration method used. The definitions in this MIB are intended to be reusable by other future Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 5] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 standards. The treatment parameters can also be reused by other IP based technologies. For example, IP packet filtering parameters most likely can be reused by other IP based technologies that rely on packet classification. 3.1. Diffserv Data Paths This part of the MIB provides instrumentation for connecting the Diffserv Functional Data path Elements within a single Diffserv device. Please refer to the [MODEL] for discussions on the valid sequencing and grouping of Diffserv Functional Data path Elements. Given some basic information, e.g. ifIndex and interface direction, the first Diffserv Functional Data path Element applied to a given packet on a given interface is determined. Subsequent Diffserv Functional Elements are provided by the "Next" pointer attribute of each entry of data path tables. Description of how this "Next" pointer is used in each table is provided in their respective DESCRIPTION clause. 3.1.1. Data Path Table Entries in the Data Path Table provide the Diffserv treatment starting points for all packets of Diffserv interfaces on this device. Not all interfaces on this device need to be Diffserv interfaces, hence not all entries in the ifTable need to have corresponding entries in the Data Path Table. Each entry in this table is indexed by ifIndex and the direction of the packet flow. There should be at most two entries for each interface, one for ingress and one for egress. Each entry provides the first Diffserv Functional Data path Element each packet at a specific interface traveling a specific relative direction should experience. NOTE: this table is interface specific, with the use of ifIndex. Entries may be created with zeroDotZero in the diffServDataPathStart attribute to indicate that there are no further diffserv elements in that data path. For example, a classifier that should never match anything but is present to debug or detect traffic might use this, although one could argue that it should transit to a dropper. The non-existence of any Diffserv treatment on an interface/direction is indicated implicitly by having no corresponding entry in this table. This means allowing normal IP device processing when zeroDotZero is used in the diffServDataPathStart attribute, or when the entry does not exist. Normal IP device processing will depend on the device, for example, this can be forwarding the packet. 3.2. Classifiers The classifier, classifier element, and filter tables determine how traffic is sorted out. They identify separable classes of traffic, by reference to an appropriate filter, which may select anything from an Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 6] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 individual micro-flow to aggregates identified by DSCP. The classification is used to send these separate streams to appropriate Meter, Action, Algorithmic Dropper, Queue, and Scheduler elements. For example, sub-classes of traffic may be sent to different meter stages: e.g. in an implementation of the Assured Forwarding (AF) PHB [AF-PHB], AF11 traffic might be sent to the first meter, AF12 traffic might be sent to the second and AF13 traffic sent to the second meter stage's out-of-profile action. The concept of a classifier is the same as described in [MODEL]. The structure of the classifier and classifier element tables, is the same as the classifier described in [MODEL]. Within each classifier, it must not be important in which order the filters are applied. This is to facilitate optimized implementations such as index trees. Precedence is used only to resolve ambiguity, as described in [MODEL]. Filter with higher values of precedence are compared first; the order of tests for entries of the same precedence is unimportant. A data path may consist of more than one classifier. There may be overlap of filter specification between filters of different classifiers. The first classifier functional data path element encountered, as determined by the sequencing of diffserv functional data path elements, will be used first. An important form of classification is "everything else": the final stage of the classifier i.e. the one with the lowest order, must be "complete" since the result of an incomplete classifier is not necessarily deterministic - see [MODEL] section 4.1.2. The definition of the actual filter to be used by the classifier is referenced via a RowPointer: this enables the use of any sort of filter table that one might wish to design, standard or proprietary. The filter table may be, but does not need to be, defined in this MIB module. Classifiers, used in various ingress and egress interfaces, are organized by the classifier table. Each classifier will isolate a number of classes of traffic, identified by various kinds of filters. To enumerate this, we define the classifier table, the classifier element table, and the filter table. A data path entry points to a classifier entry. A classifier entry identifies a list of classifier elements. A classifier element effectively includes the filter entry, and points to a "next" classifier entry or other data path functional element. There are potentially many types of filters, only one of which is specified in this MIB Module. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 7] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 3.2.1. Classifier Table The classifier table, therefore, identifies the classifiers that are used in various interfaces. It organizes the list of classifier elements that identify the various classes. 3.2.2. Classifier Element Table Classifier elements point to the filters which identify various classes of traffic. The separation between the "classifier element" and the "filter" allows us to use many different kinds of filters with the same essential semantics of "an identified set of traffic". The traffic matching the filter corresponding to a classifier element is given to the "next" data path functional element identified in the classifier element. 3.2.3. Filter Table - IP Six-Tuple Classifier Table This MIB includes one Filter Table, a definition for an IP Six-Tuple Classifier, used for IP traffic classification. Entries in this filter table are referenced from the RowPointer diffServClfrElementSpecific attributes of classifier element table entries. For example, a Behavior Aggregate (BA) Classifier, acting only on DSCPs, is a simple form of the IP Six-Tuple Classifier. It is represented by having the diffServSixTupleClfrDscp attribute set to the desired DSCP and all other classification attributes set to match-all, their default settings. Each entry in the IP Six-Tuple Classifier Table defines a single filter. The textual convention of InetAddress [INETADDR] is used for both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. The use of IP Six-Tuple Classifiers is discussed in [DSARCH] and abstract examples of how they might be configured are provided in [MODEL]. 3.3. Meters A meter, according to [MODEL] section 5, measures the rate at which packets making up a stream of traffic pass it, compares this rate to some set of thresholds and produces some number (two or more) of potential results. A given packet is said to "conform" to the meter if, at the time that the packet is being looked at, the stream appears to be within the meter's profile. MIB syntax makes it easiest to define this as a sequence of one or more cascaded pass/fail tests, modeled here as if-then-else constructs. It is important to understand that this way of modeling does not imply anything about the implementation being Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 8] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 "sequential": multi-rate/multi-profile meters e.g. those designed to support [SRTCM], [TRTCM], or [TSWTCM] can still be modeled this way even if they, of necessity, share information between the stages: the stages are introduced merely as a notational convenience in order to simplify the MIB structure. 3.3.1. Meter Table The generic meter table is used as a base for all more specific forms of meter. The definition of parameters specific to the type of meter used is referenced via a pointer to a table containing those specifics. This enables the use of any sort of specific meter table that one might wish to design, standard or proprietary. The specific meter table may be, but does not need to be, defined in this MIB module. 3.3.2. Token-Bucket Meter Table This is included as an example of a common type of meter. Entries in this table are referenced from the RowPointer diffServMeterSpecific attributes of meter table entries. The parameters are represented by a rate diffServTBMeterRate, a burst size diffServTBMeterBurstSize, and an interval diffServTBMeterInterval. How these parameters are used depends on the type of meter being parameterized, this is provided by the diffServTBMeterType attribute. Additional meter parameterization tables can be defined in other MIBs when necessary. 3.4. Actions Actions include "no action", "mark the traffic with a DSCP", "drop the traffic" or "count it". Other tasks such as "shape the traffic" or "drop based on some algorithm" are handled elsewhere as queuing mechanisms, rather than actions, consistent with [MODEL]. The "multiplexer", "replicator" and "null" actions described in [MODEL] are accomplished implicitly by means of the RowPointer structures of the other elements. This MIB uses the Action Table diffServActionTable to organize one Action's relationship with the element(s) before and after it. It allows Actions to be cascaded to enable multiple Actions be applied to a single traffic stream by using each entry's diffServActionNext attribute. The diffServActionNext attribute of the last action entry in the chain points to the next element in the TCB, if any, e.g. a Queuing element. It may also point at a next TCB. The parameters needed for each Action element will depend on the type of Action to be taken. Hence there are specific Action Tables for all the different Action types. This flexibility allows additional Actions be specified in future revisions of this MIB, or in other MIBs and also Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 9] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 allows for the use of proprietary Actions without impact on those defined here. 3.4.1. DSCP Mark Action Table This Action is applied to traffic in order to mark it with a Diffserv Codepoint (DSCP) value, specified in the diffServDscpMarkActTable. Other marking actions might be specified elsewhere - these are outside the scope of this MIB. 3.4.2. Count Action Table Count Actions are used to count the traffic passing along a particular path through the model. If specified, they are likely to be placed first, before other types of Action. For example, when both a Count and an Absolute Dropper Action are specified, the Count Action needs to count the traffic stream before any traffic gets dropped. Note that there are counters contained directly in Algorithmic Dropper elements to indicate the amount of traffic dropped by those elements. Since count actions are defined in this way, they are inherently optional. However, the management information necessary to demonstrate SLA compliance or non-compliance is not available from any other source. Therefore, practically, count actions may be expected to be included in each set of actions that a network manager configures. Counters are arranged in a single table but with separate conformance statements for low-speed and high-speed interfaces, consistent with [IFMIB]. 3.4.3. Absolute Drop Action This action just silently discards all traffic presented to it, without counting it. This action has no additional parameters and so is represented only within diffServActionType without its specific table. 3.5. Queuing Elements These include Algorithmic Droppers, Queues and Schedulers which are all inter-related in their use of queuing techniques. 3.5.1. Algorithmic Dropper Table Algorithmic Droppers are represented in this MIB by entries in an Algorithmic Dropper Table. An Algorithmic Dropper is assumed to operate indiscriminately on all packets that are presented at its input, all traffic separation should be done by classifiers and meters preceding Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 10] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 it. Algorithmic Droppers have a close relationship with queuing, each Algorithmic Dropper Table entry contains a diffServAlgDropQMeasure attribute, indicating which queue's state affects the calculation of the Algorithmic Dropper. Each entry also contains a diffServAlgDropNext attribute which indicates to which queue the Algorithmic Dropper sinks its traffic. Algorithmic Droppers may also contain a pointer to specific detail of the drop algorithm, diffServAlgDropSpecific. This MIB defines the detail for three drop algorithms: Tail Drop, Head Drop and Random Drop; other algorithms are outside the scope of this MIB module but the general framework is intended to allow for their inclusion via other MIB modules. One generally-applicable parameter of a dropper is the specification of a queue-depth threshold at which some drop action is to start. This is represented in this MIB, as a base attribute, diffServAlgDropQThreshold, of the Algorithmic Dropper entry. The attribute, diffServAlgDropQMeasure, specifies which queue's depth diffServAlgDropQThreshold is to compare against. o A Tail Dropper requires the specification of a maximum queue depth threshold: when the queue pointed at by diffServAlgDropQMeasure reaches that depth threshold, diffServAlgDropQThresh, any new traffic arriving at the dropper is discarded. This algorithm uses only parameters that are part of the diffServAlgDropEntry. o A Head Dropper requires the specification of a maximum queue depth threshold: when the queue pointed at by diffServAlgDropQMeasure reaches that depth threshold, diffServAlgDropQThresh, traffic currently at the head of the queue is discarded. This algorithm uses only parameters that are part of the diffServAlgDropEntry. o Random Droppers are recommended as a way to control congestion, in [QUEUEMGMT] and called for in the [AF-PHB]. Various implementations exist, which agree on marking or dropping just enough traffic to communicate with TCP-like protocols about congestion avoidance, but differ markedly on their specific parameters. This MIB attempts to offer a minimal set of controls for any random dropper, but expects that vendors will augment the table with additional controls and status in accordance with their implementation. This algorithm requires additional parameters on top of those in diffServAlgDropEntry: these are discussed below. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 11] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 3.5.2. Random Dropper Table One example of a random dropper is a RED-like dropper. An example of the representation chosen in this MIB for this element is shown in Figure 1. Random droppers often have their drop probability function described as a plot of drop probability (P) against averaged queue length (Q). (Qmin,Pmin) then defines the start of the characteristic plot. Normally Pmin=0, meaning with average queue length below Qmin, there will be no drops. (Qmax,Pmax) defines a "knee" on the plot, after which point the drop probability become more progressive (greater slope). (Qclip,1) defines the queue length at which all packets will be dropped. Notice this is different from Tail Drop because this uses an averaged queue length. Although it is possible for Qclip = Qmax. In the MIB module, diffServRandomDropMinThreshBytes and diffServRandomDropMinThreshPkts represent Qmin. diffServRandomDropMaxThreshBytes and diffServRandomDropMaxThreshPkts represent Qmax. diffServAlgDropQThreshold represents Qclip. diffServRandomDropInvProbMax represents Pmax (inverse). This MIB does not represent Pmin (assumed to be zero unless otherwise represented). In addition, since message memory is finite, queues generally have some upper bound above which they are incapable of storing additional traffic. Normally this number is equal to Qclip, specified by diffServeAlgDropQThreshold. Each random dropper specification is associated with a queue. This allows multiple drop processes (of same or different types) to be associated with the same queue, as different PHB implementations may require. This also allows for sequences of multiple droppers if AlgDrop Queue +-----------------+ +-------+ --->| Next ---------+--+------------------->| Next -+--> ... | QMeasure -------+--+ | ... | | QThreshold | RandomDrop +-------+ | Type=randomDrop | +----------------+ | Specific -------+---->| MinThreshBytes | +-----------------+ | MaxThreshBytes | | InvProbMax | | InvWeight | | SamplingRate | +----------------+ Figure 1: Example Use of the RandomDropTable for Random Droppers Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 12] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 necessary. The calculation of a smoothed queue length may also have an important bearing on the behavior of the dropper: parameters may include the sampling interval or rate, and the weight of each sample. The performance may be very sensitive to the values of these parameters and a wide range of possible values may be required due to a wide range of link speeds. Most algorithms include a sample weight, represented here by diffServRandomDropInvWeight. The availability of diffServRandomDropSamplingRate as readable is important, the information provided by Sampling Rate is essential to the configuration of diffServRandomDropInvWeight. Having Sampling Rate be configurable is also helpful, as line speed increases, the ability to have queue sampling be less frequent than packet arrival is needed. Note however that there is ongoing research on this topic, see e.g. [ACTQMGMT] and [AQMROUTER]. Additional parameters may be added in an enterprise MIB module, e.g. by using AUGMENTS on this table, to handle aspects of random drop algorithms that are not standardized here. NOTE: Deterministic Droppers can be viewed as a special case of Random Droppers with the drop probability restricted to 0 and 1. Hence Deterministic Droppers might be described by a Random Dropper with Pmin = 0, Pmax = 1, Qmin = Qmax = Qclip, the averaged queue length at which dropping occurs. 3.5.3. Queues and Schedulers The Queue Table models simple FIFO queues, as described in [MODEL] section 7.1.1. The Scheduler Table allows flexibility in constructing both simple and somewhat more complex queuing hierarchies from those queues. Of course, since TCBs can be cascaded multiple times on an interface, even more complex hierarchies can be constructed that way also. Queue Table entries are pointed at by the "next" attributes of the upstream elements e.g. diffServMeterSucceedNext. Note that multiple upstream elements may direct their traffic to the same Queue Table entry. For example, the Assured Forwarding PHB suggests that all traffic marked AF11, AF12 or AF13 be placed in the same queue, after metering, without reordering. This would be represented by having the diffServMeterSucceedNext of each upstream meter point at the same entry in the Queue Table. NOTE: Queue Table and Scheduler Table entries are for data path description, they both uses Scheduler Parameterization Table entries for Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 13] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 diffserv treatment parameterization. Queue Table entries specify the scheduler it wants service from by use of its Next pointer. Each Scheduler Table entry represents the algorithm in use for servicing the one or more queues that feed it. The [MODEL] section 7.1.2 describes a scheduler with multiple inputs: this is represented in the MIB by having the scheduling parameters be associated with each input. In this way, sets of Queues can be grouped together as inputs to the same Scheduler. This table serves to represent the example scheduler described in the [MODEL]. More complex queuing and scheduling structures are possible using the tables defined in this MIB. When necessary, more complex constructs may be created outside of this MIB. Scheduler Parameter Table entries are used to parameterize each input that feeds into a scheduler. The inputs can be a mixture of Queue Table and Scheduler Table entries. Scheduler Parameter Table entries can be used/reused by one or more Queue and/or Scheduler Table entries. For representing a Strict Priority scheduler, each scheduler input is assigned a priority with respect to all the other inputs feeding the same scheduler, with default values for the other parameters. Higher- priority traffic that is not being delayed for shaping will be serviced before a lower-priority input. For Weighted Queuing methods e.g. WFQ, WRR, the "weight" of a given scheduler input is represented with a Minimum Service Rate leaky-bucket profile which provides guaranteed bandwidth to that input, if required. This is represented, as were token-bucket meters, by a rate diffServSchdParamMinRateAbs and a burst size diffServSchdParamMinBurstSize. The rate may, alternatively, be represented by a relative value, as a fraction of the interface's current line rate, diffServSchdParamMinRateRel to assist in cases where line rates are variable or where a higher-level policy might be expressed in terms of fractions of network resources. The two rate parameters are inter-related and changes in one may be reflected in the other. For weighted scheduling methods, one can say loosely, that WRR focuses on meeting bandwidth sharing, without concern for relative delay amongst the queues; where WFQ control both queue service order and amount of traffic serviced, providing meeting bandwidth sharing and relative delay ordering amongst the queues. A queue or scheduled set of queues (which is an input to a scheduler) may also be capable of acting as a non-work-conserving [MODEL] traffic Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 14] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 shaper: this is done by defining a Maximum Service Rate leaky-bucket profile in order to limit the scheduler bandwidth available to that input. This is represented, similarly to the minimum rate, by a rate diffServSchdParamMaxRateAbs and a burst size diffServSchdParamMaxBurstSize. The rate may, alternatively, be represented by a relative value, as a fraction of the interface's current line rate, diffServSchdParamMaxRateRel. There was discussion in the working group about alternative modeling approaches, such as defining a shaping action or a shaping element. We did not take this approach because shaping is in fact something a scheduler does to its inputs, and we felt it was simpler and more elegant to simply describe it in that context. Other types of priority and weighted scheduling methods can be defined using existing parameters in diffServSchdParamEntry. NOTE: diffServSchedulerMethod uses OBJECT IDENTIFIER syntax, with the different types of scheduling methods defined as OBJECT-IDENTITY. Future scheduling methods may be defined in other MIBs. This requires an OBJECT-IDENTITY definition, a description of how the existing objects are reused, if they are, and any new objects they require. NOTE: hierarchical schedulers can be parameterized using this MIB by having Scheduler Table entries feeds into Scheduler Table entry. 4. MIB Usage Example This section provides some examples on how the different table entries of this MIB may be used together for a Diffserv Device, with the usage of each individual attribute be defined within the MIB module itself. For the figures, all the MIB table entry and attribute names assumes to have "diffServ" as their first common initial part of name, with the table entry name assumed to be their second common initial part of name. "0.0" is being used to mean zeroDotZero. And for Scheduler Method "= X" means "using the OID of diffServSchedulerX". 4.1. Model's Example As an example, when this MIB's structures are used for the hypothetical configuration in [MODEL] section 8.1, the result is shown in Figure 2, 3, and 4.

Additional Data Path Example 4.2.1. Data Path and Classifier Example Discussion The example in Figure 5 shows a single diffServDataPathTable entry feeding into a single Classifier entry, with three Classifier Element and Filter Table entry pairs belonging to this Classifier 1. Notice the three Filters used here must completely classify all the traffic presented to this data path. Another level of classification can be defined that follows the Action functional DataPath elements in Figure 5. This multi-level classification allow the construction of traffic separations and specific actions at each level, like: if (dept1) then take dept1-action { if (appl1) then take dept1-appl1-action.

Meter and Action Example Discussion A simple Meter that can be parameterized by a single TBMeter entry is shown here. For Metering types that require multiple TBMeter entries for parameterization, a second level Meter and TBMeter table entries may be used. For example, for [TRTCM], with the first level TBMeter entry used for Peak Information Token Bucket, the first level SucceedNext points to the second level Meter entry, with second level TBMeter entry used for Committed Information Token Bucket. Notice the CountAct Action is shown in Figure 5. This is purposely done to indicate that every DataPath should have at least one CountAct Action. Other actions can be pointed to by the Next pointer of the CountAct action, like DscpMarkAct action. 4.2.3. Queue and Scheduler Example Discussion Example in Figure 6 shows three classified input traffic streams, EF, AF11, and AF12, feeding into their respective queue and algorithmic droppers. After their respective dropping process, the AF traffic streams feed into the same queue, QAF1X. A Scheduler, AF, is shown in Figure 6, as the sink for AF1X queue traffic, servicing AF1X queue with scheduling parameters indicated by SchdParamAF1X. This scheduler is used to service traffic from AF1X, AF2X, AF3X queues using weighted fair queuing method. The AF2X and AF3X queues are not shown in Figure 6, they can be very much like AF1X queue setup. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 21] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 Another traffic stream, EF, is handled by the EF queue. Scheduler Diffserv services output of EF queue using SchdParamEF, and output of AF scheduler using SchdParamAF, with Priority Queue scheduling method. Notice all the diffserv traffic may go out on a link with traffic shaping. The traffic shaping can be parameterize using the Shaping Scheduler in Figure 6. For shaping, the diffServSchdParamMaxRate attributes should be used. The Shaping Scheduler is indicated as the last diffserv functional element of this data path by using its Next pointer with value of zeroDotZero. 5. Conventions used in this MIB 5.1. The use of RowPointer to indicate data path linkage RowPointer is a textual convention used to identify a conceptual row in an SNMP Table by pointing to one of its objects. One of the ways it is used in this MIB is to indicate succession, pointing to data path linkage table entries. For succession, it answers the question "what happens next?". Rather than presume that the next table must be as specified in the conceptual model [MODEL] and providing its index, the RowPointer takes you to the MIB row representing that thing. In the diffServMeterTable, for example, the diffServMeterFailNext RowPointer might take you to another meter, while the diffServMeterSucceedNext RowPointer would take you to an action. NOTE -- the RowPointer construct is used to build the TCBs described in [MODEL]: this MIB does not model TCBs directly - it operates at a lower level of abstraction using only individual elements, connected in succession by RowPointers. Therefore, the concept of TCBs enclosing individual functional DataPath elements is not applicable to this MIB, although such a concept may be employed by management tools that use this MIB. It is possible that a path through a device following a set of RowPointers is indeterminate i.e. it ends in a dangling RowPointer. Guidance is provided in the MIB module's DESCRIPTION-clause for each of the linkage attribute. In general, for both zeroDotZero and dangling RowPointer, it is assumed the data path ends and the traffic should be given to the next logical part of the device, usually a forwarding process or a transmission engine, or the proverbial bit-bucket. Any variation from this usage is indicated by the attribute affected. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 22] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 5.2. The use of RowPointer to indicate parameters RowPointer is also used in this MIB to indicate parameterization, for pointing to parameterization table entries. For indirection (as in the diffServClfrElementTable), the idea is to allow other MIBs, including proprietary ones, to define new and arcane filters - MAC headers, IPv4 and IPv6 headers, BGP Communities and all sorts of other things - whilst still utilizing the structures of this MIB. This is a form of class inheritance (in "object oriented" language): it allows base object definitions ("classes") to be extended in proprietary or standard ways, in the future, by other documents. RowPointer also clearly indicates the identified conceptual row's content does not change, hence they can be simultaneously used, pointed to, by more than one data path linkage table entries. The identification of RowPointer allows higher level policy mechanisms to take advantage of this characteristic. 5.3. Conceptual row creation and deletion A number of conceptual tables defined in this MIB use as an index an arbitrary integer value, unique across the scope of the agent. In order to help with multi-manager row-creation problems, a mechanism must be provided to allow a manager to obtain unique values for such an index and to ensure that, when used, the manager knows whether it got what it wanted or not. Typically, such a table has an associated NextFree variable e.g. diffServClfrNextFree which provides a suitable value for the index of the next row to be created e.g. diffServClfrId. A special value, 0, is used to indicate that no more entries can be configured by the agent. The table also has a columnar Status attribute with RowStatus syntax [6]. If a manager attempts to create a conceptual row in the table (by a SET operation that contains a varbind setting the Status to a value of either createAndGo or createAndWait) and if the agent has sufficient resources and has no other conceptual row with the same indices, the agent will create the row and return success. If the agent has insufficient resources or such a row is already existent then it returns an error. A manager must be prepared to try again in such circumstances, probably by re-reading the NextFree to obtain a new index value in case a second manager had got in between the first manager's read of the NextFree value and the first manager's row-creation attempt. The use of RowStatus is covered in more detail in [6]. Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 23] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 6. Extending this MIB With the structures of this MIB divided into data path linkage tables and parameterization tables, and with the use of RowPointer, new data path linkage and parameterization tables can be defined in other MIB modules, and used with tables defined in this MIB. This MIB does not limit on the type of entries its RowPointer attributes can point to, hence new functional data path elements can be defined in other MIBs and integrated with functional data path elements of this MIB. For example, new Action functional data path element can be defined for Traffic Engineering and be integrated with Diffserv functional data path elements, possibly used within the same data path sharing the same classifiers and meters. It is more likely that new parameterization tables will be created in other MIBs as new methods or proprietary methods get deployed for existing diffserv functional data path elements. For example, different kinds of filters can be defined by using new filter parameterization tables. New scheduling methods can be deployed by defining new scheduling method OIDs and new scheduling parameter tables. Notice both new data path linkage tables and parameterization tables can be added without needing to change this MIB document or affect existing tables and their usage.

Acknowledgments This MIB builds on all the work that has gone into the Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers, Diffserv PIB, and Diffserv Policy MIB (SNMPCONF WG). It has been developed with the active involvement of many people, but most notably Yoram Bernet, Steve Blake, Brian Carpenter, Dave Durham, Michael Fine, Victor Firoiu, Jeremy Greene, Dan Grossman, Roch Guerin, Scott Hahn, Joel Halpern, Harrie Hazewinkel, Van Jacobsen, Keith McCloghrie, Bob Moore, Kathleen Nichols, Ping Pan, Nabil Seddigh, John Seligson, Walter Weiss, and Bert Wijnen. 9. Security Considerations It is clear that this MIB is potentially useful for configuration, and anything that can be configured can be misconfigured, with potentially disastrous effect. At this writing, no security holes have been identified beyond those that SNMP Security is itself intended to address. These relate primarily to controlled access to sensitive information and the ability to configure a device - or which might result from operator error, which is beyond the scope of any security architecture. There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that have 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. The use of SNMP Version 3 is recommended over prior versions for configuration control as its security model is improved. There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain information that may be sensitive from a business perspective, in that they may represent a customer's service contract or the filters that the service provider chooses to apply to a customer's ingress or egress traffic. There are no objects which are sensitive in their own right, such as passwords or monetary amounts. It may be 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 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 Baker, Chan, Smith Expires August 2001 [Page 92] Internet Draft Differentiated Services MIB February 2001 (read/change/create/delete) 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 [12] and the View-based Access Control Model [15] 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.
