Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

1. Introduction

 PINT services are an emerging set of new Internet based applications
 where voice (and fax) requests to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone
 Network) are carried over the Internet.  RFC 2458 [1] gives a good
 introduction to the (pre-standard) PINT architecture and services.
 It also has examples of some of the early implementations of pre-
 PINT.
 This document defines a MIB which contains the elements for
 monitoring the performance of a PINT based service.  The MIB consists
 of details of the four basic PINT services and their performance
 statistics measured under various criteria.
 It is not the purpose of this MIB to enable management of the PINT
 networking elements.  We are concerned only with the PINT specific
 performance parameters.  While it is understood that PINT service
 performance is closely related to host and network performance, they
 are not addressed here.

2. The SNMP Management Framework

 The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
 components:
  o   An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [2].
  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
      STD 16, RFC 1155 [3], STD 16, RFC 1212 [4] and RFC 1215 [5].
      The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58,
      RFC 2578 [6], RFC 2579 [7] and RFC 2580 [8].
  o   Message protocols for transferring management information.  The
      first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
      described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [9].  A second version of the SNMP
      message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
      protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [10] and
      RFC 1906 [11].  The third version of the message protocol is
      called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [11], RFC 2572 [12] and
      RFC 2574 [13].
  o   Protocol operations for accessing management information.  The
      first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
      described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [9].  A second set of protocol
      operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
      [14].

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

  o   A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [15] and
      the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
      [16].
 A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
 can be found in RFC 2570 [17].
 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.

3. The need for PINT services monitoring MIB

 Traditionally voice (and fax) requests originate and terminate inside
 a PSTN network.  This network is well known for robust handling of
 the requests, in terms of availability and security.  However when
 the requests originate from the Internet there is a concern both on
 the part of the user as well as the provider about issues like
 reliable forwarding of the call requests to the PINT gateway under
 various network conditions, user/host authentication, secure handling
 of the user information etc.  Performance and security management
 becomes all the more important where PINT services cross multiple
 administrative domains (or providers).
 This MIB is an attempt to list the parameters that need to be
 monitored on an user, PINT client, PINT server and PINT gateway
 basis.
 (PINT services, their invocation methods/protocols and security
 issues associated with the PINT architecture are discussed in detail
 in [18]).

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

4. PINT MIB - Overview

 Following is a list of some explanations on the MIB definitions that
 we have chosen to construct.
  o   The basic purpose of this MIB is to monitor the access to PINT
      services both from the performance and security point of view.
      Information may pertain to a certain user or his/her system
      (PINT client) or the system providing the PINT services (PINT
      server) or the PINT gateway that forwards the call to the PSTN
      network.
  o   We chose to build the configuration table as an extension of the
      Application MIB - RFC 2287 [19] using the augments construct.
      Server location and contact might be retrieved from the standard
      MIB-II sysLocation and sysContact objects.  There is no need to
      replicate this information in the PINT MIB.  However, the PINT
      administrator may be a different person than the sysadmin with
      global responsibilities, thus a pintSysContact object is
      defined.
  o   We chose to monitor the gateway connections from the PINT
      server.  While the agent runs in the PINT servers, the
      connections to the gateways might need to be monitored in order
      to understand what goes on.  We placed them in a separate MIB
      group, and by using MODULE-COMPLIANCE clauses, agents that
      cannot implement this stuff will not be mandated to do it.
  o   There is no traps definition in this MIB module.  Note that
      thresholding on counters is always possible by using a standard
      mechanism defined by the Remote Monitoring MIB, that can be
      referenced here.  Some events that may be defined by using this
      mechanisms:
  • continuous login/authentication failure or refusal from a

particular client or user

  • nuisance call - repeated calls (within a specified

period) to a number originating from the same user

  o   The client performance and user performance tables may be rather
      resource demanding for an agent implementation.  In some MIBs,
      like the Remote Monitoring (RMON) MIBs, control mechanisms were
      built in order to activate those statistics on demand.  If
      needed, a sorting ('topN') mechanism can be designed, so that a
      sorted view of clients or users is presented for the high level
      debugging.

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

  o   We built a time-distribution trying to cover both short-lived,
      as well as longer sessions (1-10 secs, 10 secs - 1 min., 1-15
      min., 15 mins-24 hours, longer).
  o   PintServerClientAddress is defined as a SnmpAdminString.  It may
      include an IpAddress and/or name, but we preferred to minimize
      the number of indices at this stage, and keep a human-readable
      format at the same time.
  o   We define pintServerUserIdName as the UserId.  This UserId needs
      to be unique across multiple PINT servers and gateways
      (depending on the architecture) and is mapped to the SessionId.
      One way to achieve this uniqueness is by appending clientId to
      the UserId string before sending to the PINT server.  The
      SessionId could then be a combination of this new UserId and a
      timestamp.

7. Security Considerations

 There is only one management object defined in this MIB that has a
 MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write (pintSysContact).  There are no
 read-create objects.  This read-write object 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
 information that may be sensitive from a business perspective.  One
 could be the customer identification (UserIdName).  Also information
 on PINT services performance might itself be need to be guarded.  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 [13] and the View-based
 Access Control Model RFC 2575 [16] is recommended.

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

 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.

8. IANA Considerations

 All extensions to the values listed in this MIB must be done through
 Standards Action processes as defined in RFC 2434 [20].

9. Intellectual Property

 The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
 intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
 pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in
 this document or the extent to which any license under such rights
 might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it
 has made any effort to identify any such rights.  Information on the
 IETF's procedures with respect to rights in standards-track and
 standards-related documentation can be found in BCP-11.  Copies of
 claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of
 licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to
 obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
 proprietary rights by implementors or users of this specification can
 be obtained from the IETF Secretariat.
 The IETF invites any interested party to bring to its attention any
 copyrights, patents or patent applications, or other proprietary
 rights which may cover technology that may be required to practice
 this standard.  Please address the information to the IETF Executive
 Director.
