2. Abstract
This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet
community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for
monitoring Differentiated Services Codepoint usage in IP packets,
utilizing the monitoring framework defined in the RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021].

4. The SNMP Network Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571].
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 [RFC1155], RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC 1215 [RFC1215].
The second version, called SMIv2, is described in RFC 2578
[RFC2578], RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
Expires November 2000 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901]
and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message
protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906],
RFC 2572 [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[RFC1905].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573
[RFC2573] and the view-based access control mechanism described
in RFC 2575 [RFC2575].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570].
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.
5. Overview
There is a need for a standardized way of monitoring the network traffic
usage of Differentiated Services (DS) [RFC2474] codepoint values. Each
DS codepoint (DSCP) value may be given a different preference by a
forwarding device, and this affects which packets get dropped or delayed
during periods of network congestion.
Expires November 2000 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
The IETF DIFFSERV working group has redefined the semantics of the Type
of Service (TOS) octet in the IP header, which is now called the 'DS
field'. The 6-bit Codepoint (DSCP) portion is contained in the DS field,
which provides for 64 different packet treatments for the implementation
of differentiated network services. The actual packet treatment, or per-
hop behavior (PHB), applied by a forwarding device, is independent of a
particular DSCP value.
By polling DSCP usage counters, an NMS can determine the network
throughput for traffic associated with different DSCPs. This data can
then be analyzed in order to 'tune' DSCP 'allocations' within a network,
based on the Quality of Service (QoS) policies for that network.
5.1. Terms
This document uses some terms that need introduction:
DataSource
A source of data for monitoring purposes. This term is used exactly
as defined in the RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021].
protocol
A specific protocol encapsulation, as identified for monitoring
purposes. This term is used exactly as defined in the RMON
Protocol Identifiers document [RFC2074].
Aggregation Group
An arbitrary set of DSCP values, grouped together for counting
purposes. This term is not related to the term 'Behavior
Aggregate', or any other use of the term 'Aggregate' in the
DIFFSERV WG [RFC2474]. An aggregation group may be used to model a
particular per-hop behavior (PHB), but specific PHBs are not
enumerated in this document, in order to reduce the coupling
between this document and documents produced by the DIFFSERV WG.
Also, new PHBs will likely be added over time, making static
assignments in this MIB impractical.
For the purposes of this MIB, a aggregation group is simply a group
of codepoints that are being counted in the same manner (i.e., same
buckets), for the purpose of (potentially) reducing the number of
MIB objects that a management station must retrieve.
Expires November 2000 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
5.2. Relationship to Differentiated Services
The DS-MON MIB focuses only on the DSCP values used in IP packets on a
monitored dataSource. The per-hop behavior (PHB) associated with each
DSCP may be different at each DS-capable forwarding device in the
network.
This MIB does not address the following Differentiated Services issues
in any way:
- configuration and characterization of each PHB in each device
- identification of the mapping between DSCPs and PHBs in each device
- identification of DS capabilities of each forwarding device
- characterization of DSCP values or PHBs, as they relate to standard
or proprietary QoS policy and deployment strategy.
It is expected that such a MIB (targeted for DS-capable forwarding
devices) will be developed by the DIFFSERV working group to address
these issues.
It is also desirable to keep the monitoring of DSCP usage independent of
the DS forwarding devices, in order to keep probe placement more
flexible, which, in turn, enables better statistics aggregation by the
probe.
This document assumes the reader is somewhat familiar with the DS
Architecture [RFC2475], but the DS-MON MIB addresses only the aspects of
monitoring DSCP usage, and therefore is completely decoupled from the
larger issues of network-wide DS configuration and performance analysis.
It is expected that complex NMS applications will use the counters in
this MIB to help analyze DS-related throughput. It is expected that
other metrics, such as delay and jitter, will also be analyzed, but
support for other metrics is outside the scope of this document.
5.3. Relationship to the Remote Monitoring MIBs
This MIB is intended to be implemented in Remote Monitoring (RMON)
probes, which implement the RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021]. Such probes may be
stand-alone devices, or may not be co-located with other networking
devices (e.g., ethernet switches and repeaters).
Expires November 2000 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
The DS-MON probe must be capable of parsing the DS field in IP packets
and correlating the embedded DSCP value with other statistics, as
defined in the DS-MON MIB. The DS-MON functions are intended to be
implemented in conjunction with the associated RMON functions, but the
MIB is independent of all other RMON data tables. For example, an agent
might wish to implement the RMON-2 protocol distribution group and the
DS-MON protocol distribution group, in order to provide the fine
granularity, 'per DSCP' statistics with the DS-MON MIB, and the 'grand
total' statistics with the RMON-2 MIB.
Several concepts and even MIB objects from the RMON MIBs are used in the
DS-MON MIB:
DataSource
This textual convention is used to describe the identification of
an RMON monitoring source (defined in the RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021]).
The DataSource textual convention is used throughout the DS-MON MIB
to identify the monitoring source for each configured collection.
A DataSource MIB object is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, which contains the
particular instance of the ifIndex object associated with the
monitored dataSource.
Protocol Directory
The RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021] defines the protocolDirTable, which is a
directory of all the protocols that the RMON-2 agent is capable of
decoding and counting. The DS-MON MIB utilizes this directory to
identify the protocols detected in monitored packets.
TimeFilter
The RMON-2 TimeFilter textual convention provides a mechanism to
retrieve only rows which have been created or modified since the
last polling interval (for a particular NMS). The DS-MON MIB uses
this textual convention in the large data tables, in order to
minimize polling impact.
Zero-Based Counters
Since counters are instantiated by management action, as in the
RMON MIBs, the DS-MON MIB uses zero-based counters in all data
collection tables. Specifically, the ZeroBasedCounter32 textual
convention from the RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021] and the ZeroBasedCounter64
textual convention (defined in the HC-RMON MIB [HC-RMON]) are used
to define counter objects in this MIB.
High Capacity Counters
The DS-MON MIB uses the same 'SNMPv1 coexistence' strategy as the
Expires November 2000 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
RMONMIB WG. That is, where a 64-bit counter is provided, a 32-bit
version of the counter, and a 32-bit overflow counter are also
provided.
TopN Reports
The DS-MON MIB uses the same TopN reporting MIB structure as the
RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021]. TopN reporting can greatly reduce the polling
overhead required to analyze DSCP usage patterns.
5.4. MIB Structure
The DS-MON MIB contains three groups of MIB objects:
- dsmonAggregateControl group
Controls the configuration of Aggregation Groups, for the purpose
of reducing the total number of counters maintained by the agent.
- dsmonStatsObjects group
Report per Aggregation Group distribution statistics for a
particular RMON dataSource.
- dsmonPdistObjects group
Report per Aggregation Group distribution statistics for each
protocol detected on a particular RMON dataSource.
- dsmonHostObjects group
Report IP host address distribution statistics for each Aggregation
Group, detected on a particular RMON dataSource.
5.4.1. DSCP Aggregation Control Group
This group contains 4 scalar objects and two tables, and is used by an
NMS to configure each DS codepoint to be counted in exactly one
aggregation group.
The dsmonMaxAggGroups scalar is a read-only integer which indicates the
maximum number of aggregation groups that can be configured on this
agent. This value should be equal to the number of codepoints (64), but
an agent may limit the number of aggregation groups because of resource
limitations (e.g., small number of HW-based counters). At leasst two
aggregation groups must be supported by the agent.
The dsmonAggControlLocked scalar is used as a top level switch,
Expires November 2000 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
controlling access to the dsmonAggControlTable. All DS-MON data is
deleted, and collection suspended, while this object is equal to
'false', since the meaning of one or more aggregation groups may change
when it is set back to 'true'.
The dsmonAggControlChanges counter and dsmonAggControlLastChangeTime
timestamp can be used by a management station to detect that the
codepoint to aggregation group mappings may have changed between polls.
The dsmonAggControlTable contains 64 rows, one for each DSCP value. Each
row contains the aggregation group index for that codepoint (also in the
range 0..63). The default assignment is 'Row(x) = x', which results in
no aggregation at all.
The dsmonAggDescrTable contains an administratively assigned descriptive
label for each configured aggregation group.
5.4.2. DS Statistics Group
This group contains two tables, the dsmonStatsControlTable and the
dsmonStatsTable, and supports Aggregation Group distribution statistics
for half and full-duplex, low and high speed interfaces. Packet and
octets distributions (by Aggregation Group) are maintained in the
dsmonStatsTable for each active control row in the
dsmonStatsControlTable.
This group provides the lowest statistics granularity in the DS-MON MIB.
It is expected than NMS applications will analyze certain DS deployment
or performance problems by first examining the Aggregation Group
distribution for an entire interface with this group.
5.4.3. DS Protocol Distribution Group
This group contains two tables for statistics collection,
(dsmonPdistControlTable and dsmonPdistStatsTable), and two tables for a
'Top N' reporting function for the collected statistics
(dsmonPdistTopNControlTable and dsmonPdistTopNTable).
The dsmonPdistControlTable and dsmonPdistStatsTable tables provide
Aggregation Group distribution statistics for each selected protocol
encapsulation in packets monitored on a particular dataSource. Packet
and octets distributions (per protocol per Aggregation Group) are
maintained in the dsmonPdistStatsTable for each active control row in
the dsmonPdistControlTable.
Expires November 2000 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
Due the potentially large number of entries, the DS Protocol
Distribution is different from the RMON-2 protocol distribution group in
several ways:
- maximum desired entries parameter added to the control table
- inserts and deletes counters added to the control table
- support for LRU garbage collection in the dsmonPdistStatsTable
- TimeFilter index added to the dsmonPdistStatsTable
- the selection of protocols is not configurable. Rather than select
individual protocols to monitor, (e.g., via a 'supportedOn/Off'
extension to the protocolDirTable [RFC 2021]), a simplified
configuration mechanism is provided. Since DSCP usage statistics
are most interesting at the application layer, the
dsmonPdistStatsTable is 'hardwired' to select only application
layer (i.e., 'terminal') protocols for statistical analysis.
The TopN feature requires two additional tables: the
dsmonPdistTopNControlTable and the dsmonPdistTopNTable, and supports
periodic usage reporting for the statistics maintained in the
dsmonPdistStatsTable. This feature allows for simple periodic retrieval
of the most used application/Aggregation Group combinations.
5.4.4. DS Host Distribution Group
This group contains two tables for statistics collection,
(dsmonHostControlTable and dsmonHostTable), and two tables for a 'Top N'
reporting function for the collected statistics
(dsmonHostTopNControlTable and dsmonHostTopNTable).
The dsmonHostControlTable and dsmonHostTables provide IP host
distribution statistics for each Aggregation Group detected in packets
monitored on a particular dataSource.
It is expected than NMS applications will analyze certain DS deployment
or performance problems by first determining the high priority DSCP
values to examine (beyond the scope of this document) and then examining
the dsmonHostTable statistics to determine which IP hosts are using the
selected Aggregation Groups.
Expires November 2000 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
Packet and octets distributions (in and out, per DSCP per IP host) are
maintained in the dsmonHostTable for each active control row in the
dsmonHostControlTable.
The DS Host Distribution is different from the RMON-2 network layer host
group in two ways:
- there is no protocolDirLocalIndex in the dsmonHostTable INDEX,
since only IPv4 and IPv6 packets contain a DS field, the protocol
(IPv4 or IPv6) is determined by the length of each dsmonHostAddress
instance.
- the dsmonHostControlTable supports limited IPv4 subnet aggregation
by allowing the number of 'monitored address bits' in each address
to be configured for each collection. The agent will zero out the
selected number of rightmost IPv4 address bits for counting
purposes. This configuration parameter can dramatically reduce the
number of entries which must be maintained by the agent, which
should reduce CPU and memory resource requirements on the agent,
and reduce polling overhead on the network and the management
station.
The TopN feature requires two additional tables: the
dsmonHostTopNControlTable and the dsmonHostTopNTable. and supports
periodic usage reporting for the statistics maintained in the
dsmonHostTable. This feature allows for simple periodic retrieval of
the most used IP-host/DSCP combinations.

currently running report. The new value is used as the
requested duration of this report, and is immediately loaded
into the associated dsmonHostTopNControlDuration object.

When the report finishes, the probe will automatically start
another collection with the same initial value of
dsmonHostTopNControlTimeRemaining. Thus the management
station may simply read the resulting reports repeatedly,
checking the startTime and duration each time to ensure that
a report was not missed or that the report parameters were
not changed.
While the value of this object is non-zero, it decrements by
one per second until it reaches zero. At the time that this
object decrements to zero, the report is made accessible in
the dsmonHostTopNTable, overwriting any report that may be
there.
When this object is modified by the management station, any
associated entries in the dsmonHostTopNTable shall be

10. Security Considerations
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.
There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain
sensitive information. These are:
dsmonPdistStatsPkts
dsmonPdistStatsOctets
dsmonPdistStatsHCPkts
dsmonPdistStatsHCOctets
dsmonPdistTopNRate
dsmonPdistTopNHCRate
These objects expose some basic statistics about the DCSP distribution
for each protocol detected on a particular network interface.
dsmonHostInPkts
dsmonHostInOctets
dsmonHostInHCPkts
dsmonHostInHCOctets
dsmonHostOutPkts
Expires November 2000 [Page 69]
Internet-Draft DSMON MIB May 2000
dsmonHostOutOctets
dsmonHostOutHCPkts
dsmonHostOutHCOctets
dsmonHostTopNRate
dsmonHostTopNHCRate
These objects expose some basic statistics about the DCSP distribution
for each IP host detected on a particular network interface.
dsmonHostTopNAddress
This object exposes IP addresses in use on the monitored network
interfaces.
It is thus 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
(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 RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View-based Access
Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] 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.
