1. The Network Management Framework

 The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
 components.  They are:
 RFC 1902 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
 describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
 RFC 1213, STD 17, [3] which defines MIB-II, the core set of
 managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
 RFC 1905 [4] which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for
 network access to managed objects.
 The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
 experimentation and evaluation.
 Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
 the Management Information Base or MIB.  Within a given MIB module,
 objects are defined using the SMI's OBJECT-TYPE macro.  At a minimum,
 each object has a name, a syntax, an access-level, and an
 implementation-status.
 The name is an object identifier, an administratively assigned name,
 which specifies an object type.  The object type together with an
 object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation
 of the object.  For human convenience, we often use a textual string,
 termed the object descriptor, to also refer to the object type.
 The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
 corresponding to that object type.  The ASN.1 [6] language is used
 for this purpose.  However, RFC 1902 purposely restricts the ASN.1
 constructs which may be used.  These restrictions are explicitly made
 for simplicity.
 The access-level of an object type defines whether it makes "protocol
 sense" to read and/or write the value of an instance of the object
 type.  (This access-level is independent of any administrative
 authorization policy.)
 The implementation-status of an object type indicates whether the
 object is mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated.

2. Overview

 This document continues the architecture created in the RMON MIB [RFC
 1757] by providing a major feature upgrade, primarily by providing
 RMON analysis up to the application layer.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 Remote network monitoring devices, often called monitors or probes,
 are instruments that exist for the purpose of managing a network.
 Often these remote probes are stand-alone devices and devote
 significant internal resources for the sole purpose of managing a
 network.  An organization may employ many of these devices, one per
 network segment, to manage its internet.  In addition, these devices
 may be used for a network management service provider to access a
 client network, often geographically remote.
 The objects defined in this document are intended as an interface
 between an RMON agent and an RMON management application and are not
 intended for direct manipulation by humans.  While some users may
 tolerate the direct display of some of these objects, few will
 tolerate the complexity of manually manipulating objects to
 accomplish row creation.  These functions should be handled by the
 management application.

2.1. Remote Network Management Goals

  o Offline Operation
      There are sometimes conditions when a management
      station will not be in constant contact with its
      remote monitoring devices.  This is sometimes by
      design in an attempt to lower communications costs
      (especially when communicating over a WAN or
      dialup link), or by accident as network failures
      affect the communications between the management
      station and the probe.
      For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be
      configured to perform diagnostics and to collect
      statistics continuously, even when communication with
      the management station may not be possible or
      efficient.  The probe may then attempt to notify
      the management station when an exceptional condition
      occurs.  Thus, even in circumstances where
      communication between management station and probe is
      not continuous, fault, performance, and configuration
      information may be continuously accumulated and
      communicated to the management station conveniently
      and efficiently.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

  o Proactive Monitoring
      Given the resources available on the monitor, it
      is potentially helpful for it continuously to run
      diagnostics and to log network performance.  The
      monitor is always available at the onset of any
      failure.  It can notify the management station of the
      failure and can store historical statistical
      information about the failure.  This historical
      information can be played back by the management
      station in an attempt to perform further diagnosis
      into the cause of the problem.
  o Problem Detection and Reporting
      The monitor can be configured to recognize
      conditions, most notably error conditions, and
      continuously to check for them.  When one of these
      conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and
      management stations may be notified in a number of
      ways.
  o Value Added Data
      Because a remote monitoring device represents a
      network resource dedicated exclusively to network
      management functions, and because it is located
      directly on the monitored portion of the network, the
      remote network monitoring device has the opportunity
      to add significant value to the data it collects.
      For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the
      network that generate the most traffic or errors, the
      probe can give the management station precisely the
      information it needs to solve a class of problems.
  o Multiple Managers
      An organization may have multiple management stations
      for different units of the organization, for different
      functions (e.g. engineering and operations), and in an
      attempt to provide disaster recovery.  Because
      environments with multiple management stations are
      common, the remote network monitoring device has to
      deal with more than own management station,
      potentially using its resources concurrently.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

2.2. Structure of MIB

 The objects are arranged into the following groups:
  1. protocol directory
  1. protocol distribution
  1. address mapping
  1. network layer host
  1. network layer matrix
  1. application layer host
  1. application layer matrix
  1. user history
  1. probe configuration
 These groups are the basic units of conformance.  If a remote
 monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement all
 objects in that group.  For example, a managed agent that implements
 the network layer matrix group must implement the nlMatrixSDTable and
 the nlMatrixDSTable.
 Implementations of this MIB must also implement the system and
 interfaces group of MIB-II [3].  MIB-II may also mandate the
 implementation of additional groups.
 These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning object
 identifiers, and to provide a method for managed agents to know which
 objects they must implement.
 This document also contains enhancements to tables defined in the
 RMON MIB [RFC 1757].  These enhancements include:
  1) Adding the DroppedFrames and LastCreateTime
     conventions to each table defined in the RMON MIB.
  2) Augmenting the RMON filter table with a mechanism
     that allows filtering based on an offset from the
     beginning of a particular protocol, even if the
     protocol headers are variable length.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

  3) Augmenting the RMON filter and capture status bits
     with additional bits for WAN media and generic media.
     These bits are defined here as:
      Bit     Definition
      6       For WAN media, this bit is set for packets
              coming from one direction and cleared for
              packets coming from the other direction.
              It is an implementation specific matter
              as to which bit is assigned to which
              direction, but it must be consistent for
              all packets received by the agent, and if
              the agent knows which end of the link is
              "local" and which end is "network", the bit
              should be set for packets from the "local"
              side and should be cleared for packets from
              the "network" side.
      7       For any media, this bit is set for any packet
              with a physical layer error. This bit may be
              set in addition to other media-specific bits
              that denote the same condition.
      8       For any media, this bit is set for any packet
              that is too short for the media. This bit may
              be set in addition to other media-specific
              bits that denote the same condition.
      9       For any media, this bit is set for any packet
              that is too long for the media. This bit may
              be set in addition to other media-specific bits
              that denote the same condition.
 These enhancements are implemented by RMON-2 probes that also
 implement RMON and do not add any requirements to probes that are
 compliant to just RMON.

3. Control of Remote Network Monitoring Devices

 Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these
 devices, the functions often need user configuration.  In many cases,
 the function requires parameters to be set up for a data collection
 operation.  The operation can proceed only after these parameters are
 fully set up.
 Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in which
 to set up control parameters, and one or more data tables in which to
 place the results of the operation.  The control tables are typically
 read/write in nature, while the data tables are typically read/only.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 Because the parameters in the control table often describe resulting
 data in the data table, many of the parameters can be modified only
 when the control entry is not active.  Thus, the method for modifying
 these parameters is to de-activate the entry, perform the SNMP Set
 operations to modify the entry, and then re-activate the entry.
 Deleting the control entry causes the deletion of any associated data
 entries, which also gives a convenient method for reclaiming the
 resources used by the associated data.
 Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an action on
 the remote monitoring device.  These objects may execute an action as
 a result of a change in the state of the object.  For those objects
 in this MIB, a request to set an object to the same value as it
 currently holds would thus cause no action to occur.
 To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to be
 shared among the managers.  These resources are typically the memory
 and computation resources that a function requires.

3.1. Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Stations

 When multiple management stations wish to use functions that compete
 for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method to facilitate
 this sharing of resources is required.  Potential conflicts include:
  o Two management stations wish to simultaneously use
    resources that together would exceed the capability of
    the device.
  o A management station uses a significant amount of
    resources for a long period of time.
  o A management station uses resources and then crashes,
    forgetting to free the resources so others may
    use them.
 The OwnerString mechanism is provided for each management station
 initiated function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help
 resolve them when they occur.  Each function has a label identifying
 the initiator (owner) of the function.  This label is set by the
 initiator to provide for the following possibilities:
  o A management station may recognize resources it owns
    and no longer needs.
  o A network operator can find the management station that
    owns the resource and negotiate for it to be freed.
  o A network operator may decide to unilaterally free
    resources another network operator has reserved.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

  o Upon initialization, a management station may recognize
    resources it had reserved in the past.  With this
    information it may free the resources if it no longer
    needs them.
 Management stations and probes should support any format of the owner
 string dictated by the local policy of the organization.  It is
 suggested that this name contain one or more of the following: IP
 address, management station name, network manager's name, location,
 or phone number.  This information will help users to share the
 resources more effectively.
 There is often default functionality that the device or the
 administrator of the probe (often the network administrator) wishes
 to set up.  The resources associated with this functionality are then
 owned by the device itself or by the network administrator, and are
 intended to be long-lived.  In this case, the device or the
 administrator will set the relevant owner object to a string starting
 with 'monitor'.  Indiscriminate modification of the monitor-owned
 configuration by network management stations is discouraged.  In
 fact, a network management station should only modify these objects
 under the direction of the administrator of the probe.
 Resources on a probe are scarce and are typically allocated when
 control rows are created by an application.  Since many applications
 may be using a probe simultaneously, indiscriminate allocation of
 resources to particular applications is very likely to cause resource
 shortages in the probe.
 When a network management station wishes to utilize a function in a
 monitor, it is encouraged to first scan the control table of that
 function to find an instance with similar parameters to share.  This
 is especially true for those instances owned by the monitor, which
 can be assumed to change infrequently.  If a management station
 decides to share an instance owned by another management station, it
 should understand that the management station that owns the instance
 may indiscriminately modify or delete it.
 It should be noted that a management application should have the most
 trust in a monitor-owned row because it should be changed very
 infrequently.  A row owned by the management application is less
 long-lived because a network administrator is more likely to re-
 assign resources from a row that is in use by one user than from a
 monitor-owned row that is potentially in use by many users.  A row
 owned by another application would be even less long-lived because
 the other application may delete or modify that row completely at its
 discretion.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

3.2. Row Addition Among Multiple Management Stations

 The addition of new rows is achieved using the RowStatus method
 described in RFC 1903 [2].  In this MIB, rows are often added to a
 table in order to configure a function.  This configuration usually
 involves parameters that control the operation of the function.  The
 agent must check these parameters to make sure they are appropriate
 given restrictions defined in this MIB as well as any implementation
 specific restrictions such as lack of resources.  The agent
 implementor may be confused as to when to check these parameters and
 when to signal to the management station that the parameters are
 invalid.  There are two opportunities:
  o When the management station sets each parameter object.
  o When the management station sets the row status object
    to active.
 If the latter is chosen, it would be unclear to the management
 station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused the
 badValue error to be emitted.  Thus, wherever possible, the
 implementor should choose the former as it will provide more
 information to the management station.
 A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt to set
 configuration information simultaneously using SNMP.  When this
 involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the same control
 table, the managers may collide, attempting to create the same entry.
 To guard against these collisions, each such control entry contains a
 status object with special semantics that help to arbitrate among the
 managers.  If an attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to
 create such a status object and that object already exists, an error
 is returned.  When more than one manager simultaneously attempts to
 create the same conceptual row, only the first will succeed.  The
 others will receive an error.
 In the RMON MIB [RFC 1757], the EntryStatus textual convention was
 introduced to provide this mutual exclusion function.  Since then,
 this function was added to the SNMP framework as the RowStatus
 textual convention.  The RowStatus textual convention is used for the
 definition of all new tables.
 When a manager wishes to create a new control entry, it needs to
 choose an index for that row.  It may choose this index in a variety
 of ways, hopefully minimizing the chances that the index is in use by
 another manager.  If the index is in use, the mechanism mentioned
 previously will guard against collisions.  Examples of schemes to
 choose index values include random selection or scanning the control

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 table looking for the first unused index.  Because index values may
 be any valid value in the range and they are chosen by the manager,
 the agent must allow a row to be created with any unused index value
 if it has the resources to create a new row.
 Some tables in this MIB reference other tables within this MIB.  When
 creating or deleting entries in these tables, it is generally
 allowable for dangling references to exist.  There is no defined
 order for creating or deleting entries in these tables.

4. Conventions

 The following conventions are used throughout the RMON MIB and its
 companion documents.
 Good Packets
 Good packets are error-free packets that have a valid frame length.
 For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free packets that
 are between 64 octets long and 1518 octets long.  They follow the
 form defined in IEEE 802.3 section 3.2.all.
 Bad Packets
 Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and are therefore
 recognized as packets, but contain errors within the packet or have
 an invalid length.  For example, on Ethernet, bad packets have a
 valid preamble and SFD, but have a bad CRC, or are either shorter
 than 64 octets or longer than 1518 octets.

5. RMON 2 Conventions

 The following practices and conventions are introduced in the RMON 2
 MIB.

5.1. Usage of the term Application Level

 There are many cases in this MIB where the term Application Level is
 used to describe a class of protocols or a capability.  This does not
 typically mean a protocol that is an OSI Layer 7 protocol.  Rather,
 it is used to identify a class of protocols that is not limited to
 MAC-layer and network-layer protocols, but can also include
 transport, session, presentation, and application-layer protocols.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

5.2. Protocol Directory and Limited Extensibility

 Every RMON 2 implementation will have the capability to parse certain
 types of packets and identify their protocol type at multiple levels,
 The protocol directory presents an inventory of those protocol types
 the probe is capable of monitoring, and allows the addition,
 deletion, and configuration of protocol types in this list.
 One concept deserves special attention: the "limited extensibility"
 of the protocol directory table.  The RMON 2 model is that protocols
 are detected by static software that has been written at
 implementation time.  Therefore, as a matter of configuration, an
 implementation does not have the ability to suddenly learn how to
 parse new packet types.  However, an implementation may be written
 such that the software knows where the demultiplexing field is for a
 particular protocol, and can be written in such a way that the
 decoding of the next layer up is table-driven.  This works when the
 code has been written to accomodate it and can be extended no more
 than one level higher.  This extensibility is called "limited
 extensibility" to highlight these limitations.  However, this can be
 a very useful tool.
 For example, suppose that an implementation has C code that
 understands how to decode IP packets on any of several ethernet
 encapsulations, and also knows how to interpret the IP protocol field
 to recognize UDP packets and how to decode the UDP port number
 fields.  That implementation may be table- driven so that among the
 many different UDP port numbers possible, it is configured to
 recognize 161 as SNMP, port 53 as DNS, and port 69 as TFTP.  The
 limited extensibility of the protocol directory table would allow an
 SNMP operation to create an entry that would create an additional
 table mapping for UDP that would recognize UDP port 123 as NTP and
 begin counting such packets.
 This limited extensibility is an option that an implementation can
 choose to allow or disallow for any protocol that has child
 protocols.

5.3. Errors in packets

 Packets with link-level errors are not counted anywhere in this MIB
 because most variables in this MIB requires the decoding of the
 contents of the packet, which is meaningless if there is a link-level
 error.
 Packets in which protocol errors are detected are counted for all
 protocols below the layer in which the error was encountered.  The
 implication of this is that packets in which errors are detected at

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 the network-layer are not counted anywhere in this MIB, while packets
 with errors detected at the transport layer may have network-layer
 statistics counted.

      "To be used for the index to a table.  Allows an application
      to download only those rows changed since a particular time.
      A row is considered changed if the value of any object in the
      row changes or if the row is created or deleted.
      When sysUpTime is equal to zero, this table shall be empty.
      One entry exists for each past value of sysUpTime, except that
      the whole table is purged should sysUpTime wrap.
      As this basic row is updated new conceptual rows are created
      (which still share the now updated object values with all
      other instances).  The number of instances which are created
      is determined by the value of sysUpTime at which the basic row
      was last updated.  One instance will exist for each value of
      sysUpTime at the last update time for the row.  A new
      timeMark instance is created for each new sysUpTime value.
      Each new conceptual row will be associated with the timeMark
      instance which was created at the value of sysUpTime with
      which the conceptual row is to be associated.
      By definition all conceptual rows were updated at or after
      time zero and so at least one conceptual row (associated with
      timeMark.0) must exist for each underlying (basic) row.
      See the appendix for further discussion of this variable.
      Consider the following fooTable:
      fooTable ...
      INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIndex }

         fooTimeMark  TimeFilter
         fooIndex     INTEGER,
         fooCounts    Counter
      }
      Should there be two basic rows in this table (fooIndex == 1,

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 18] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

       by the user by creating protocol directory entries which are
       children of this protocol.
       An example of an entry that will often allow extensibility is
       `ip.udp'.  The probe may automatically populate some children
       of this node such as `ip.udp.snmp' and `ip.udp.dns'.
       A probe administrator or user may also populate additional
       children via remote SNMP requests that create entries in this
       table.  When a child node is added for a protocol for which the
       probe has no built in support, extending a parent node (for
       which the probe does have built in support),
       that child node is not extendible.  This is termed `limited
       extensibility'.
       When a child node is added through this extensibility
       mechanism, the values of protocolDirLocalIndex and
       protocolDirType shall be assigned by the agent.
       The other objects in the entry will be assigned by the
       manager who is creating the new entry.
       This object also describes whether or not this agent can
       recognize addresses for this protocol, should it be a network
       level protocol.  That is, while a probe may be able to
       recognize packets of a particular network layer protocol and
       count them, it takes additional logic to be able to recognize
       the addresses in this protocol and to populate network layer
       or application layer tables with the addresses in this
       protocol.  If this bit is set, the agent will recognize
       network layer addresses for this protoocl and populate the
       network and application layer host and matrix tables with
       these protocols.
       Note that when an entry is created, the agent will supply
       values for the bits that match the capabilities of the agent
       with respect to this protocol.  Note that since row creations
       usually exercise the limited extensibility feature, these
       bits will usually be set to zero."

– – User History Collection Group (usrHistory) – – The usrHistory group combines mechanisms seen in the alarm and – history groups to provide user-specified history collection, – utilizing two additional control tables and one additional data – table. This function has traditionally been done by NMS – applications, via periodic polling. The usrHistory group allows – this task to be offloaded to an RMON probe. – – Data (an ASN.1 INTEGER based object) is collected in the same – manner as any history data table (e.g. etherHistoryTable) except – that the user specifies the MIB instances to be collected. Objects – are collected in bucket-groups, with the intent that all MIB – instances in the same bucket-group are collected as atomically as – possible by the RMON probe. – – The usrHistoryControlTable is a one-dimensional read-create table. – Each row configures a collection of user history buckets, much – the same as a historyControlEntry, except that the creation of a – row in this table will cause one or more associated instances in – the usrHistoryObjectTable to be created. The user specifies the – number of bucket elements (rows in the usrHistoryObjectTable) – requested, as well as the number of buckets requested. – – The usrHistoryObjectTable is a 2-d read-write table. – Each row configures a single MIB instance to be collected. – All rows with the same major index constitute a bucket-group. – – The usrHistoryTable is a 3-d read-only table containing – the data of associated usrHistoryControlEntries. Each – entry represents the value of a single MIB instance – during a specific sampling interval (or the rate of – change during the interval). – – A sample value is stored in two objects - an absolute value and – a status object. This allows numbers from -(2G-1) to +4G to be – stored. The status object also indicates whether a sample is – valid.

             Partial and case insensitive matching is applied, ie.
             if the reply string (any case combination) is found
             anywhere in the received string, then the a match is
             found.  If the current timeout elapses without a match,
             then the remaining control string is ignored.
         ^!  The ^ character.

7. Security Considerations

 In order to implement this MIB, a probe must capture all packets on
 the locally-attached network, including packets between third
 parties.  These packets are analyzed to collect network addresses,
 protocol usage information, and conversation statistics. Data of this
 nature may be considered sensitive in some environments. In such
 environments the administrator may wish to restrict SNMP access to
 the probe.
 A probe implementing this MIB is likely to also implement RMON
 [RFC1757], which includes functions for returning the contents of
 captured packets, potentially including sensitive user data or
 passwords. It is recommended that SNMP access to these functions be
 restricted.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 122] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

8. Appendix - TimeFilter Implementation Notes

 1) Theory of Operation
 The TimeFilter mechanism allows an NMS to reduce the number of SNMP
 transactions required for a 'table-update' operation.  Polling of
 tables that incorporate a 'TimeFilter' INDEX can be reduced to a
 theoretical minimum (if used correctly). It can be easily implemented
 by an agent in a way independent of the number of NMS applications
 using the same time-filtered table.
 Although the name 'TimeFilter' may imply that a history of change
 events is maintained by the agent, this is not the case.  A time-
 filtered-value represents the current value of the object instance,
 not the 'saved' value at the time indicated by the TimeFilter INDEX
 value. Note that TimeFilter objects only appear in INDEX clauses
 (always not-accessible), so their value is never retrieved. By
 design, the actual value of a TimeFilter instance is not in itself
 meaningful (it's not a 'last-change-timestamp').
 The TimeFilter is a boolean filtering function applied in internal
 Get* PDU processing. If the 'last-change-time' of the specified
 instance is less than the particular TimeFilter INDEX value, then the
 instance is considered 'not-present' (skipped for GetNext and GetBulk
 PDUs; 'noSuchInstance' or returned to the requester.

1.1) Agent Implementation of a Time-Filtered Table

 In implementation, the time-filtered rows (one for each tick of
 sysUpTime) are only conceptual. The agent simply filters a real table
 based on:
     * the current value of sysUpTime
     * the TimeFilter value passed in the varbind
     * the last-update timestamp of each requested counter
       (agent implementation requirement)
 For example, to implement a time-filtered counter, an agent maintains
 a timestamp in a 32-bit storage location, initialized to zero. This
 is in addition to whatever instrumentation is needed for the counter.
 Each time the counter is updated, the current value of sysUpTime is
 recorded in the associated timestamp. If this is not possible or
 practical, then a background polling process must 'refresh' the
 timestamp by sampling counter values and comparing them to recorded
 samples. The timestamp update must occur within 5 seconds of the
 actual change event.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 123] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 When an agent receives a Get, GetNext, or GetBulk PDU requesting a
 time-filtered instance, the following agent has determined that the
 instance is within the MIB view indicated by the community string in
 the PDU.
     /* return TRUE if the object is present */
     boolean time_filter_test (
         TimeFilter  last_modified_timestamp,
         TimeFilter  index_value_in_pdu )
     {
         if (last_modified_timestamp < index_value_in_pdu)
          return FALSE;
         else
             return TRUE;
     }
 The agent applies this function regardless of the lastActivationTime
 of the conceptual row in question. In other words, counter
 discontinuities are ignored (i.e.  conceptual row deleted and then
 re-created later). An agent should consider a object instance
 'changed' when it is created (either at restart time for scalars and
 static objects, or row-creation-time for dynamic tables).
 Note that using a timeFilter INDEX value of zero removes the
 filtering functionality, as the instance will always be

1.2) NMS Implementation of a Time-Filtered Table

 The particular TimeFilter INDEX values used by an NMS reflect the
 polling interval of the NMS, relative to the particular agent's
 notion of sysUpTime.
 An NMS needs to maintain one timestamp variable per agent
 (initialized to zero) for an arbitrary group of time-filtered MIB
 objects that are gathered together in the same PDU.  Each time the
 Get* PDU is sent, a request for sysUpTime is included. The retrieved
 sysUpTime value is used as the timeFilter value in the next polling
 cycle. If a polling sweep of a time-filtered group of objects
 requires more than one SNMP transaction, then the sysUpTime value
 retrieved in the first GetResponse PDU of the polling sweep is saved
 as the next timeFilter value.
 The actual last-update time of a given object is not indicated in the
 returned GetResponse instance identifier, but rather the timeFilter
 value passed in the Get*Request PDU is returned.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 124] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 A "time-filtered get-next/bulk-sweep", done once per polling
 cycle, is a series of GetNext or GetBulk transactions, and is
 over when one of the following events occurs:
   1) the TimeFilter index value returned in the GetResponse is
      different than the TimeFilter index value passed in the
      GetNext or GetBulk request. Counter values will still be
      returned beyond this point (until the last-change-time is
      reached), but most likely the same values will be
 returned.
   2) the return PDU includes instances lexigraphically greater
      than the objects expected (i.e. same GetNext semantics as
      if the TimeFilter wasn't there)
   3) a noSuchName or other exception/error is returned.
 Note that the use of a time-filtered table in combination with a
 GetRequest PDU neutralizes any optimization that otherwise might be
 achieved with the TimeFilter, because no PDU transactions are saved.
 Either the current time-filtered object-value is returned, or a
 'noSuchInstance' exception (SNMPv1c) or 'noSuchName' error (SNMPv1)
 is returned.
 If GetBulk PDUs are used, then the value selected for response PDUs
 generated by the agent, since duplicate entries (one per size. An

appropriate of conceptual rows in the time-filtered table if known, or

 equal to the number of instances expected to fit in a GetResponse PDU
 without causing a 'tooBig' error from the agent.

2) TimeFilter Example

 The following example demonstrates how an NMS and Agent might use a
 table with a TimeFilter object in the INDEX. A static table is
 assumed to keep the example simple, but dynamic tables can also be
 supported.

2.1) General Assumptions

 fooEntry INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIfIndex }
 FooEntry = SEQUENCE {
     fooTimeMark    TimeFilter,
     fooIfIndex     Integer32,
     fooCounts      Counter32
 }
 The NMS polls the fooTable every 15 seconds and the

baseline

 poll occurs when the agent has been up for 6 seconds,
 and the NMS has been up for 10 seconds.

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 125] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 There are 2 static rows in this table at system

initialization

 (fooCounts.0.1 and fooCounts.0.2).
 Row 1 was updated as follows:
     SysUpTime    fooCounts.*.1 value         500

1 900 2

        2300            3
 Row 2 was updated as follows:
     SysUpTime    fooCounts.*.2 value
        1100            1
        1400            2

2.2) SNMP Transactions from NMS Perspective

 Time nms-1000:
     # NMS baseline poll -- get everything since last agent

restart

     # TimeFilter == 0
     get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
          fooCounts.0);
     returns:
        sysUpTime.0 == 600
        fooCounts.0.1 == 1  # incremented at time 500

fooCounts.0.2 == 0 # visible since created at time 0

 Time nms-2500:
     # NMS 1st poll
     # TimeFilter index == 600
     get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
          fooCounts.600);
     returns:
        sysUpTime.0 == 2100
        fooCounts.600.1 == 2   # incremented at time 900
     fooCounts.600.2 == 2   # incremented at times 1100 and

1400

        fooCounts.601.1 == 2   # indicates end of sweep

Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 126] RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997

 Time nms-4000:
     # NMS 2nd poll
     # TimeFilter == 2100
     get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
          fooCounts.2100);
     returns:
         sysUpTime.0 == 3600
         fooCounts.2100.1 == 3  # incremented at time 2300
         fooCounts.2102.1 == 3  # indicates end-of-sweep
     # the counter value for row 2 is not returned because
     # it hasn't changed since sysUpTime == 2100.
     # The next timetick value for row 1 is returned instead
 Time nms-5500:
     # NMS 3rd poll
     # TimeFilter == 3600
     get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
           fooCounts.3600);
     returns:
         sysUpTime.0 == 5100
         some-instance-outside-the-fooTable == <don't care>
         some-instance-outside-the-fooTable == <don't care>
     # no 'fooTable' counter values at all are returned

because

     # neither counter has been updated since sysUpTime ==

3600

     # initialize fooTable
     fooCounts.1 = 0; changed.1 = 0;
