1. Introduction

 This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
 for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
 In particular, it describes managed objects for specifying Forwarding
 Equivalence Class (FEC) to Next Hop Label Forwarding Entry (NHLFE)
 mappings and corresponding actions for Multiprotocol Label Switching
 (MPLS).
 At the ingress of an MPLS network, packets entering the MPLS domain
 are assigned to an FEC.  Those packets belonging to an FEC are
 associated with an NHLFE (i.e., MPLS label) via the FEC-to-NHLFE
 (FTN) mapping [RFC3031].  This relationship defines how ingress LSRs
 will impose MPLS labels onto incoming packets.  It also defines how
 egress LSRs will decapsulate the MPLS shim header from MPLS packets.
 Conceptually, some of the FTN table functionality could be
 implemented using the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) to map all
 packets destined for a prefix to an LSP.  However, this mapping is
 coarse in nature.
 Similar functionality is already being used in other contexts such as
 security filters, access filters, and RSVP flow identification.  All
 of these require various combinations of matching based on IP header
 and upper-layer header information to identify packets for a
 particular treatment.  When packets match a particular rule, a
 corresponding action is executed on those packets.  For example, two
 popular actions to take when a successful match is identified are
 allowing the packet to be forwarded or to discard it.  However, other

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

 actions are possible, such as modifying the TOS byte, or redirecting
 a packet to a particular outgoing interface.  In the context of MPLS,
 the possible actions performed by an NHLFE are to redirect packets to
 either an MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) or an MPLS Traffic
 Engineered (TE) Tunnel.
 This document attempts to consolidate the various matching
 requirements and associated action options needed for MPLS into a
 single specification.

2. Terminology

4. The Internet-Standard Management Framework

 For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
 Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
 RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
 Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
 the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
 accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
 Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
 Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
 module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
 RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
 [RFC2580].

5. Outline

 This MIB module resides on any LSR which does the FEC-to-NHLFE
 mapping in order to map traffic into the MPLS domain.  This MIB
 module consists of three tables:
  1. mplsFTNTable defines the rule base against which incoming packets

are matched and defines the actions to be taken on matching

    packets;
  1. mplsFTNMapTable defines the application of these rules to specific

interfaces;

  1. mplsFTNPerfTable provides performance counters for every entry in

mplsFTNTable that is active on one or more interfaces, on a per-

    interface basis.

5.1. mplsFTNTable

 This table allows FEC to NHLFE mappings to be specified.  Each entry
 in this table (also referred to as an "FTN entry" in this document)
 defines a rule to be applied to incoming packets (on interfaces that
 the entry is activated on using mplsFTNMapTable as explained in
 Section 5.2) and an action to be taken on matching packets.
 mplsFTNTable allows 6-tuple matching rules based on one or more of
 source address range, destination address range, source port range,
 destination port range, IPv4 Protocol field [RFC791] or IPv6 next-
 header field [RFC2460], and the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP, [RFC2474])
 to be specified.  Packet redirection is based on an action pointer
 which points either at an mplsXCEntry in MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB [RFC3813]
 when the NHLFE is a non-TE LSP, or at an mplsTunnelEntry in MPLS-TE-
 STD-MIB [RFC3812] when the NHLFE is the origin of a TE tunnel.

5.1.1. Advantages of Address Ranges Over CIDR Prefixes

 One possible way of specifying a set of addresses as part of an FTN
 rule is to use CIDR prefixes [RFC1519].  We have instead chosen to
 allow FTN rules to be expressed in terms of address ranges in
 mplsFTNTable because they have the following advantages.
  1. The number of CIDR prefixes needed to represent some address

ranges is very large. For example, we need the following 6 CIDR

    prefixes to represent the range of addresses [192.0.2.0-
    192.0.2.62]:  192.0.2.0/27, 192.0.2.32/28, 192.0.2.48/29,
    192.0.2.56/30, 192.0.2.60/31, and 192.0.2.62/32.  A rule such as
    "redirect all packets with a source address in the range
    [192.0.2.0-192.0.2.62] and destination address in the range
    [192.0.2.128-192.0.2.190] to tunnel #2" would require the creation

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

    of 36 conceptual rows in mplsFTNTable if the rules were expressed
    as CIDR prefixes, but only a single conceptual row would be
    required if we used address ranges instead.
  1. Every CIDR prefix can be expressed as a single equivalent address

range.

  1. A particular implementation is free to translate the address

ranges specified in mplsFTNTable internally to equivalent CIDR

    prefixes, if it so chooses.  However, given that powerful range
    matching algorithms are available, many implementations may prefer
    to implement these directly.

5.2. mplsFTNMapTable

 This table provides the capability to activate or map FTN entries
 defined in mplsFTNTable to specific interfaces in the system.
 Packets received on an interface are compared against FTN entries in
 the order in which entries are applied to the interface.

5.2.1. Indexing Requirements

 The indexing structure of mplsFTNMapTable was designed to satisfy the
 following requirements.
  1. We must be able to insert a new entry into an existing list of

entries on an interface with a single SET operation. Thus, we

    must be able to support an insertion operation that does not
    require manual reindexing of existing entries.
  1. A management application must be able to traverse entries that

have been applied to a particular interface in the order of

    application.  The number of (non-bulk) retrieval operations to
    obtain this information as dictated by the particular indexing
    scheme that we choose for mplsFTNMapTable must be no more than
    that dictated by any other indexing scheme.  For example, the
    indexing scheme must not force the Network Management Application
    to retrieve all the entries in the table and sift through them
    offline to obtain this information.

5.2.2. How the Current Indexing Works

 The natural data-structure for implementing constant time insertions
 between two existing entries and for supporting in-order traversals
 is a linked-list.
 The chosen indexing structure of mplsFTNMapTable makes the entries in
 the table behave like items in a linked-list.  Each conceptual row

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

 has an object, mplsFTNMapPrevIndex, which is a pointer to the
 previous entry that is applied to a particular interface.  This
 object is self-adjusting, i.e., its value is automatically adjusted
 by the agent, if necessary, after an insertion or deletion operation.
 This indexing scheme provides a mechanism to 'insert' an FTN entry
 between two existing entries already applied on an interface.  This
 is done by specifying the entry after which a new entry should be
 inserted in mplsFTNMapPrevIndex.
 Using this linked-list structure, one can retrieve FTN entries in the
 order of application on a per-interface basis as follows:
  1. To determine the first FTN entry on an interface with index

ifIndex, perform a GETNEXT retrieval operation on

    mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.0.0; the returned object, if one
    exists, is (say) mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.0.n
    (mplsFTNMapRowStatus is the first accessible columnar object in
    the conceptual row).  Then, the index of the first FTN entry
    applied on this interface is n.
  1. To determine the FTN entry applied to an interface after the one

indexed by n, perform a GETNEXT retrieval operation on

    mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.n.0.  If such an entry exists, the
    returned object would be of the form
    mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.n.m.  Then, the index of the next FTN
    entry applied on this interface is m.
  1. If the FTN entry indexed by n is the last entry applied to the

interface with index ifIndex, then the object returned would

    either be:
    1. mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndexNext.0.k, where ifIndexNext is the
       index of the next interface in ifTable to which an FTN entry
       has been applied, in which case k is the index of the first FTN
       entry applied to the interface with index ifIndexNext;
    or:
    2. mplsFTNMapStorageType.firstIfIndex.0.p, if there are no more
       entries in mplsFTNMapTable, where firstIfIndex is the first
       entry in ifTable to which an FTN entry has been mapped.
 The above steps can be used to retrieve all the applied entries on a
 per-interface basis in application order.  Note that the number of
 retrieval operations is equal to the number of applied FTN entries
 (i.e., the minimum number of GETNEXT operations needed using any
 indexing scheme).

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

 Also note that we could not have created this linked-list structure
 using a 'next' pointer object instead of the 'previous' pointer
 object that we chose because this would not allow us to determine the
 first FTN entry that has been mapped to a specific interface using a
 single SNMP (non-bulk) retrieval operation.
 The use of this indexing structure is further illustrated using an
 example in Section 7.

5.3. mplsFTNPerfTable

 If an FTN entry has been applied to one or more interfaces, this
 table provides high-capacity performance counters to monitor each
 such FTN entry on a per-interface basis.

6. Avoiding Retrieval-Modification Interactions

 The problem of an ongoing traversal or retrieval operation on an SNMP
 table being affected by a concurrent modification operation on that
 table is not unique to this MIB module.  However, it is useful to
 note that a cautious application can keep track of the state of the
 modifiable tables in this MIB module using the objects
 mplsFTNTableLastChanged and mplsFTNMapTableLastChanged.
 For instance, before performing a traversal of mplsFTNMapTable, the
 application should retrieve the value of mplsFTNMapTableLastChanged.
 Each subsequent GETNEXT operation on the table should include this
 object as well.  For example, GETNEXT(mplsFTNMapTableLastChanged.0,
 mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.n.0) can be used to:
  1. Determine the FTN entry after the one indexed by n (in linked-list

order) mapped to the interface with index ifIndex, as explained in

    Section 5.2.2;
  1. Verify that the value of mplsFTNMapTable has not been modified

during the retrieval process by comparing the value of

    mplsFTNMapTableLastChanged retrieved by this operation with the
    value retrieved before the traversal was begun.
 Using this technique, an application can ensure the validity of the
 retrieved information with minimal overhead.  This is particularly
 important while retrieving information from frequently modified
 tables.

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

7. Example Illustrating MIB Module Components

 In this section, we use an example to illustrate how the objects
 defined in MPLS-FTN-STD-MIB work together to perform FEC to NHLFE
 mapping.
 Note that for the various table entries involved in this example, we
 only show the objects that help illustrate each case.

7.1. Sample FTN Rules

 Suppose that we wish to activate the following two FTN rules.
    Rule #1: On interface ifIndex = 1, redirect packets with source
    IPv4 address matching 192.0.2.63 to an LSP with outgoing
    ifIndex = 50 and outgoing label = 150 where the specified LSP is
    represented by the following entries in mplsXCTable and
    mplsOutSegmentTable.
    In mplsXCTable:
    {
       mplsXCIndex = 0x02,
       mplsXCInSegmentIndex = 0x00,
       mplsXCOutSegmentIndex = 0x03,
       mplsXCLabelStackIndex = 0
    }
    The value 0x00 for mplsXCInSegmentIndex represents an originating
    LSP [RFC3813].
    In mplsOutSegmentTable:
    {
       mplsOutSegmentIndex = 0x03,
       mplsOutSegmentIfIndex = 50,
       mplsOutSegmentPushTopLabel = true,
       mplsOutSegmentTopLabel = 150
    }
    Rule #2: On interface ifIndex = 1, redirect packets with
    destination IPv4 addresses in the range [192.0.2.32, 192.0.2.96]
    to tunnel #4, where the specified tunnel is represented by the
    following entry in mplsTunnelTable:

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

    {
       mplsTunnelIndex = 4,
       -- primary tunnel
       mplsTunnelInstance = 0,
       mplsTunnelIngressLSRID = 192.0.2.1,
       mplsTunnelEgressLSRID = 192.0.2.2
    }

7.2. Creating FTN Entries and Applying them to Interfaces

 The action "redirect packets with source IPv4 address matching
 192.0.2.63 to an LSP with outgoing ifIndex = 50 and outgoing label =
 150" in Rule #1 can be implemented by the following entry in
 mplsFTNTable:
    {
       mplsFTNIndex = 1,
       mplsFTNDescr = "Rule #1",
       -- source address only
       mplsFTNMask = 0x80,
       mplsFTNAddrType = ipv4,
       mplsFTNSourceAddrMin = 192.0.2.63,
       mplsFTNSourceAddrMax = 192.0.2.63,
       mplsFTNActionType = redirectLsp(1),
       mplsFTNActionPointer = mplsXCLspId.1.2.1.0.1.3
    }
 This indicates to which LSP the LSR should redirect packets by
 setting mplsFTNActionPointer to the first accessible columnar object
 instance in mplsXCEntry that corresponds of the LSP to use, in this
 case mplsXCLspId.1.2.1.0.1.3.
 This action is then activated on "interface ifIndex = 1" by the
 following entry in mplsFTNMapTable to complete the implementation of
 Rule #1:
    {
       -- apply rule to interface ifIndex = 1
       mplsFTNMapIndex = 1,
       -- first FTN entry on this interface
       mplsFTNPrevIndex = 0,
       -- index of current entry in mplsFTNTable, i.e., Rule #1
       mplsFTNMapCurrIndex = 1
    }
 The action "redirect packets with destination IPv4 addresses in the
 range [192.0.2.32, 192.0.2.96] to tunnel #4" in Rule #2 can be
 implemented by the following entry in mplsFTNTable:

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

    {
       mplsFTNIndex = 2,
       mplsFTNDescr = "Rule #2",
       -- destination address only
       mplsFTNMask = 0x40,
       mplsFTNAddrType = ipv4,
       mplsFTNDestAddrMin = 192.0.2.32,
       mplsFTNDestAddrMax = 192.0.2.96,
       mplsFTNActionType = redirectTunnel(2),
       mplsFTNActionPointer = mplsTunnelName.4.0.3221225985.3221225986
    }
 where 3221225985 and 3221225986 are representations of the addresses
 192.0.2.1 and 192.0.2.2, respectively, as Unsigned32 (the underlying
 data type) entities.
 This rule needs to be activated on "interface ifIndex = 1" after Rule
 #1 which was previously activated on this interface.  This is done by
 the following entry in mplsFTNMapTable to complete the implementation
 of Rule #2:
    {
       -- apply rule to interface ifIndex = 1
       mplsFTNMapIndex = 1,
       -- insert after Rule #1 (mplsFTNIndex = 1)
       mplsFTNPrevIndex = 1,
       -- index of current entry in mplsFTNTable, i.e., Rule #2
       mplsFTNMapCurrIndex = 2
    }

7.3. Mapping an FTN Entry to Multiple Interfaces

 Suppose we now wish to activate the following rule:
    Rule #2b: On interface ifIndex = 2, redirect packets with
    destination IPv4 addresses in the range [192.0.2.32, 192.0.2.96]
    to tunnel #4.
 Notice that the FEC and corresponding action associated with this
 rule (i.e., "redirect packets with destination IPv4 addresses in the
 range [192.0.2.32, 192.0.2.96] to tunnel #4") are the same as that
 associated with Rule #2.  Hence, we can reuse the existing entry with
 mplsFTNIndex = 2 from mplsFTNTable.
 However, we have to create the following new entry in mplsFTNMapTable
 to activate this FTN entry as the first one on the interface with
 ifIndex = 2.

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

 {
    -- apply rule to interface ifIndex = 2
    mplsFTNMapIndex = 2,
    -- first FTN entry on this interface
    mplsFTNPrevIndex = 0,
    -- index of current entry in mplsFTNTable
    mplsFTNMapCurrIndex = 2
 }

7.4. Inserting an Entry Into Existing List

 At a later point, suppose that we wish to introduce the following
 Rule between Rules #1 and #2.
    Rule #3: On interface ifIndex = 1, redirect all packets with
    destination IPv4 address matching the prefix 192.0.2.32/28 to
    tunnel #3, where the tunnel we wish to redirect traffic to is
    represented by the following entry in mplsTunnelTable:
    {
       mplsTunnelIndex = 3,
       -- primary tunnel
       mplsTunnelInstance = 0,
       mplsTunnelIngressLSRID = 192.0.2.3,
       mplsTunnelEgressLSRID = 192.0.2.4
    }
 Note that the ordering of the rules on a particular interface is
 critical since the range of addresses specified in Rule #3 is a
 subset of the ones specified in Rule #2.
 Without the linked-list style insertion feature supported by
 mplsFTNMapTable, we would possibly have had to reindex existing
 entries (or plan for such changes by leaving sufficient gaps between
 indexes, something that only postpones the problem).  With the
 existing tables, we solve this problem by creating the following
 entries.
 We implement the phrase "redirect all packets with destination IPv4
 address matching the prefix 1.4.0.0/16 to tunnel #3" in Rule #3 by
 creating the following entry in mplsFTNTable:

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

    {
       mplsFTNIndex = 3,
       mplsFTNDescr = "Rule #3",
       -- destination address only
       mplsFTNMask = 0x40,
       mplsFTNAddrType = ipv4,
       -- address range equivalent to CIDR prefix 192.0.2.32/28
       mplsFTNDestAddrMin = 192.0.2.32,
       mplsFTNDestAddrMax = 192.0.2.47,
       mplsFTNActionType = redirectTunnel,
       mplsFTNActionPointer = mplsTunnelName.3.0.3221225987.3221225988
    }
 where 3221225987 and 3221225988 are representations of the addresses
 192.0.2.3 and 192.0.2.4, respectively, as Unsigned32 (the underlying
 data type) entities.
 We next insert this rule in mplsFTNMapTable just after Rule #1 as
 follows:
    {
       -- apply rule to interface ifIndex = 1
       mplsFTNMapIndex = 1,
       -- insert after Rule #1 (mplsFTNIndex = 1)
       mplsFTNPrevIndex = 1,
       -- index of current entry in mplsFTNTable i.e., Rule #3
       mplsFTNMapCurrIndex = 3
    }
 After the insertion of Rule #3 in mplsFTNMapTable, the 'previous'
 pointer object mplsFTNMapPrevIndex of the next entry (corresponding
 to Rule #2) adjusts automatically to point to this entry.
 Note that, of the existing entries in the table, the only one that is
 impacted by an insertion operation is the entry on that particular
 interface immediately after the newly inserted one, if one exists.
 None of the other entries in mplsFTNMapTable are impacted.  For
 instance, in this particular example, when the entry for Rule #3 was
 inserted between those for Rules #1 and #2, the entries for Rules #1
 and #2b were not impacted.

7.5. Pictorial Tabular Relationship

 At this point, the relationship between different table entries can
 be represented pictorially as follows.  For each conceptual row
 instance, we show the table that it belongs to, along with its
 indices in parentheses.  (Note that various conceptual rows are
 depicted in a way that is convenient for showing the
 interrelationships and are not necessarily in lexicographical order.)

7.6. Deleting an Entry

 Let us next look at how we can remove the recently applied Rule #3
 and how the existing conceptual rows behave in this situation.
 The conceptual row corresponding to the application of Rule #3 to
 interface ifIndex = 1 has the following index values: mplsFTNMapIndex
 = 1, mplsFTNMapPrevIndex = 1, and mplsFTNMapCurrIndex = 3.  To delete
 this conceptual row, the Network Management Application performs a
 SET operation setting the object instance mplsFTNMapRowStatus.1.1.3
 to the value destroy(6).  The agent then destroys this conceptual
 row.  It also automatically adjusts the object instance of
 mplsFTNMapPrevIndex corresponding to Rule #2 from the value 3 (i.e.,
 pointing to the recently destroyed Rule #3) to the value 1 (i.e., to
 Rule #1).
 At this point, the rules applied to interface ifIndex = 1 are Rule #1
 and Rule #2, in that order.  The relationship between different table
 entries can be represented pictorially as follows.

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 15] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

 Note that the FTN entry for Rule #3 still exists in mplsFTNTable at
 this point but is not referenced by any conceptual row in
 mplsFTNMapTable or mplsFTNPerfTable.
 Also note that the deletion of an entry from mplsFTNMapTable only
 impacts the entry on that particular interface immediately after the
 deleted entry, if one exists.  None of the other conceptual rows in
 mplsFTNMapTable are impacted.  For instance, in this particular
 example, when the entry for Rule #3 was deleted, the entries for
 Rules #1 and #2b were not impacted.

8. The Use of RowPointer

 RowPointer is a textual convention used to identify a conceptual row
 in a conceptual table in a MIB by pointing to the first accessible
 object.  In this MIB module, in mplsFTNTable, the RowPointer object
 mplsFTNActionPointer indicates the LSP or TE Tunnel to redirect
 packets matching an FTN entry to.  This object MUST point to the
 first instance of the first accessible columnar object in the
 appropriate conceptual row in order to allow the manager to find the
 appropriate corresponding entry in either MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB [RFC3813]
 or MPLS-TE-STD-MIB [RFC3812].  If this object returns zeroDotZerok,
 it implies that there is no currently defined action that is
 associated with that particular FTN entry.

    DESCRIPTION
        "This table contains objects which provide the
         capability to apply or map FTN rules as defined by
         entries in mplsFTNTable to specific interfaces in the
         system.  FTN rules are compared with incoming packets
         in the order in which they are applied on an interface.
         The indexing structure of mplsFTNMapTable is as
         follows.
  1. mplsFTNMapIndex indicates the interface to which the

rule is being applied. A value of 0 represents the

           application of the rule to all interfaces.

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 26] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

  1. mplsFTNMapPrevIndex specifies the rule on the

interface prior to the one being applied. A value of

           0 specifies that the rule is being inserted at the
           head of the list of rules currently applied to the
           interface.
  1. mplsFTNMapCurrIndex is the index in mplsFTNTable

corresponding to the rule being applied.

         This indexing structure makes the entries in the table
         behave like items in a linked-list.  The object
         mplsFTNMapPrevIndex in each conceptual row is a pointer
         to the previous entry that is applied to a particular
         interface.  This allows a new entry to be 'inserted' at
         an arbitrary position in a list of entries currently
         applied to an interface.  This object is self-
         adjusting, i.e., its value is automatically adjusted by
         the agent, if necessary, after an insertion or deletion
         operation.
         Using this linked-list structure, one can retrieve FTN
         entries in the order of application on a per-interface
         basis as follows:
  1. To determine the first FTN entry on an interface

with index ifIndex perform a GETNEXT retrieval

           operation on mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.0.0; the
           returned object, if one exists, is (say)
           mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.0.n (mplsFTNMapRowStatus
           is the first accessible columnar object in the
           conceptual row). Then the index of the first FTN
           entry applied on this interface is n.
  1. To determine the FTN entry applied to an interface

after the one indexed by n perform a GETNEXT

           retrieval operation on
           mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.n.0.  If such an entry
           exists the returned object would be of the form
           mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndex.n.m.  Then the index of
           the next FTN entry applied on this interface is m.
  1. If the FTN entry indexed by n is the last entry

applied to the interface with index ifIndex then the

           object returned would either be:
           1.mplsFTNMapRowStatus.ifIndexNext.0.k, where
             ifIndexNext is the index of the next interface in

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 27] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

             ifTable to which an FTN entry has been applied, in
             which case k is the index of the first FTN entry
             applied to the interface with index ifIndexNext;
           or:
           2.mplsFTNMapStorageType.firstIfIndex.0.p, if there
             are no more entries in mplsFTNMapTable, where
             firstIfIndex is the first entry in ifTable to
             which an FTN entry has been mapped.
         Use the above steps to retrieve all the applied FTN
         entries on a per-interface basis in application order.
         Note that the number of retrieval operations is the
         same as the number of applied FTN entries (i.e., the
         minimum number of GETNEXT operations needed using any
         indexing scheme).
         Agents MUST NOT allow the same FTN entry as specified
         by mplsFTNMapCurrIndex to be applied multiple times to
         the same interface.
         Agents MUST NOT allow the creation of rows in this
         table until the corresponding rows are created in the
         mplsFTNTable.
         If a row in mplsFTNTable is destroyed, the agent MUST
         destroy the corresponding entries (i.e., ones with a
         matching value of mplsFTNCurrIndex) in this table as
         well."

10. Security Considerations

 This MIB module can be used to configure LSRs to redirect non-MPLS
 traffic into an MPLS cloud.  As such, improper manipulation of the
 objects represented in this MIB module may result in traffic being
 redirected to unintended destinations, potentially resulting in
 denial of service to end-users.
 There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
 with 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.  These are the tables and objects and their
 sensitivity/vulnerability:
  1. mplsFTNTable and mplsFTNMapTable can be used to create packet

matching rules for classifying IPv4 or IPv6 traffic and

    redirecting matched packets into the MPLS cloud.  Modifying
    objects in these tables can result in the misdirection of traffic
    and potential denial of service to end-users.  It may also result
    in traffic which was intended to be redirected into the MPLS cloud
    being routed through the IP network instead, potentially resulting
    in degradation of service quality or outright denial of service.
 Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
 MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
 vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus important to
 control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
 to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
 the network via SNMP.  These are the tables and objects and their
 sensitivity/vulnerability:
  1. mplsFTNPerfTable provides counters for monitoring the performance

of packet classification rules defined in mplsFTNTable and

    mplsFTNMapTable.  Unauthorized read access to objects in these
    tables may be used to gain traffic flow information.
 SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
 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 module.
 It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
 provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
 including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
 authentication and privacy).

Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 38] RFC 3814 MPLS FTN MIB June 2004

 Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
 RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED that SNMPv3 be deployed and
 cryptographic security be enabled.  It is then a customer/operator
 responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
 instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
 the objects to only those principals (users) that have legitimate
 rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.

11. IANA Considerations

 As described in [MPLSMGMT] and as requested in [RFC3811], MPLS
 related standards-track MIB modules should be rooted under the
 mplsStdMIB subtree.  New assignments can only be made by a standards
 action as specified in [RFC2434].

11.1. IANA Considerations for MPLS-FTN-STD-MIB

 The IANA has assigned mplsStdMIB 8 to the MPLS-FTN-STD-MIB module
 specified in this document.
