Management Information Base for the PCE Communications Protocol (PCEP) When Requesting Point-to-Multipoint Services
draft-zhao-pce-pcep-p2mp-mib-05
This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management Information Base for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling of the Path Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP) for communications between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and a Path Computation Element (PCE), or between two PCEs when point-to-multipoint services are requested.

The Path Computation Element (PCE) defined in [RFC4655] is an entity that is capable of computing a network path or route based on a network graph, and applying computational constraints. A Path Computation Client (PCC) may make requests to a PCE for paths to be computed.
A P2MP LSP is comprised of multiple source-to-leaf (S2L) sub-LSPs. These S2L sub-LSPs are set up between ingress and egress LSRs and are appropriately combined by the branch LSRs using computation results from the PCE to determine the path of a P2MP TE LSP.
The PCE communication protocol (PCEP) is designed as a communication protocol between PCCs and PCEs for point-to-point (P2P) path computations and is defined in [RFC5440]. [RFC6006] explains how to extend the PCEP protocol for P2MP scenario.
[PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB] defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community for P2P path computations.
This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management Information Base for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling of Path Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440] for communications between a Path Computation Client (PCC)and a Path Computation Element (PCE), or between two PCEs in P2MP scenarios.
Some objects maybe moved to [PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB] after consensus with the authors and working group, these are defined in Section 6.2.
The following terminology is used in this document.
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of [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] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
The PCEP P2MP MIB is just an extension of the existing architecture defined in [PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB] by adding additional objects which are either common to P2P and P2MP or which are specific to P2MP. All these new objects are added into the two new tables (pcePcepExtSessionTable and pcePcepExtClientTable) defined in this new MIB module. The relationship among the two new tables to the two existing tables in [PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB] are shown in the following figure:
pcePcepSessionTable <-------- pcePcepExtSessionTable pcePcepClientTable <-------- pcePcepExtClientTable
An arrow in the figure above shows that the MIB table pointed from contains a reference to the MIB table pointed to.
In this section we provide an example (pcePcepExtClientTable 1) of using the MIB objects described in Section 6 to monitor. While this example is not meant to illustrate every permutation of the MIB, it is intended as an aid to understanding some of the key concepts. It is meant to be read after going through the MIB itself.
pcePcepExtClientTable 1 of the PCE-PCEP-P2MP-DRAFT-MIB module :
{
pcePcepClientP2mpCapabilityStatus enable(1),
pcePcepClientOverloadStatus resumed(2),
pcePcepClientOverloadDuration (10),
}
This MIB module makes references to the following documents.
[RFC2578], [RFC2580], [RFC3411], [RFC2863], [RFC3813], [PCE-PCEP-DRAFT-MIB].

TBD
The readable objects in the PCE-PCEP-P2MP-DRAFT-MIB module (i.e., those with MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive in some environments since, collectively, they provide information about the amount and frequency of path computation requests and responses within the network and can reveal some aspects of their configuration.
In such environments it is important to control also GET and NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly even to encrypt their values when sending them over the network via SNMP.
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).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. 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 only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
