Abstract

   This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module which
   contains Textual Conventions to represent commonly used Multiprotocol
   Label Switching (MPLS) management information.  The intent is that
   these TEXTUAL CONVENTIONS (TCs) will be imported and used in MPLS
   related MIB modules that would otherwise define their own
   representations.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines a MIB module which contains Textual Conventions
   for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks.  These Textual
   Conventions should be imported by MIB modules which manage MPLS
   networks.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

   For an introduction to the concepts of MPLS, see [RFC3031].

2.  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].

              The values 0 to 31 are reserved for other uses
              by the ITU and ATM Forum.  The value

              although values greater than 32 could be
              configured for the Control VC.

              If a value from 0 to 31 is used for a VCI
              the management entity controlling the LDP
              subsystem should reject this with an
              inconsistentValue error.  Also, if
              the value of 32 is used for a VC which is
              NOT the Control VC, this should
              result in an inconsistentValue error."

       MplsLabel ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
          STATUS        current
          DESCRIPTION
             "This value represents an MPLS label as defined in
              [RFC3031],  [RFC3032], [RFC3034], [RFC3035] and
              [RFC3471].

              The label contents are specific to the label being
              represented, such as:

              * The label carried in an MPLS shim header
                (for LDP this is the Generic Label) is a 20-bit
                number represented by 4 octets.  Bits 0-19 contain
                a label or a reserved label value.  Bits 20-31
                MUST be zero.

                The following is quoted directly from [RFC3032].
                There are several reserved label values:

                   i. A value of 0 represents the
                      'IPv4 Explicit NULL Label'.  This label
                      value is only legal at the bottom of the
                      label stack.  It indicates that the label
                      stack must be popped, and the forwarding
                      of the packet must then be based on the

                      IPv4 header.

                  ii. A value of 1 represents the
                      'Router Alert Label'.  This label value is
                      legal anywhere in the label stack except at
                      the bottom.  When a received packet
                      contains this label value at the top of
                      the label stack, it is delivered to a
                      local software module for processing.
                      The actual forwarding of the packet
                      is determined by the label beneath it
                      in the stack.  However, if the packet is
                      forwarded further, the Router Alert Label
                      should be pushed back onto the label stack
                      before forwarding.  The use of this label
                      is analogous to the use of the
                      'Router Alert Option' in IP packets
                      [RFC2113].  Since this label
                      cannot occur at the bottom of the stack,
                      it is not associated with a
                      particular network layer protocol.

                 iii. A value of 2 represents the
                      'IPv6 Explicit NULL Label'.  This label
                      value is only legal at the bottom of the
                      label stack.  It indicates that the label
                      stack must be popped, and the forwarding
                      of the packet must then be based on the
                      IPv6 header.

                  iv. A value of 3 represents the
                      'Implicit NULL Label'.
                      This is a label that an LSR may assign and
                      distribute, but which never actually
                      appears in the encapsulation.  When an
                      LSR would otherwise replace the label
                      at the top of the stack with a new label,
                      but the new label is 'Implicit NULL',
                      the LSR will pop the stack instead of
                      doing the replacement.  Although
                      this value may never appear in the
                      encapsulation, it needs to be specified in
                      the Label Distribution Protocol, so a value
                      is reserved.

                   v. Values 4-15 are reserved.

              * The frame relay label can be either 10-bits or

                23-bits depending on the DLCI field size and the
                upper 22-bits or upper 9-bits must be zero,
                respectively.

              * For an ATM label the lower 16-bits represents the
                VCI, the next 12-bits represents the VPI and the
                remaining bits MUST be zero.

                            * The Generalized-MPLS (GMPLS) label may contain 
                a value greater than 2^24-1 and is used in
                GMPLS as defined in [RFC3471]."
EID 1882 (Verified) is as follows:

Section: MplsLabel

Original Text:

              * The Generalized-MPLS (GMPLS) label contains a
                value greater than 2^24-1 and used in GMPLS

Notes:
The orriginal text implied that GMPLS labels could only be greater than
(2^24 - 1). In fact all label alues are supported.

This is assigned at the head end of the LSP and can be used by all LSRs to identify this LSP. This value is piggybacked by the signaling protocol when this LSP is signaled within the network. This identifier can then be used at each LSR to identify which labels are being swapped to other labels for this LSP. This object can also be used to disambiguate LSPs that share the same RSVP sessions between the same source and destination. For LSPs established using CR-LDP, the LSPID is composed of the ingress LSR Router ID (or any of its own IPv4 addresses) and a locally unique CR-LSP ID to that LSR. The first two bytes carry the CR-LSPID, and the remaining 4 bytes carry the Router ID. The LSPID is useful in network management, in CR-LSP repair, and in using an already established CR-LSP as a hop in an ER-TLV. For LSPs signaled using RSVP-TE, the LSP ID is defined as a 16-bit (2 byte) identifier used in the SENDER_TEMPLATE and the FILTER_SPEC that can be changed to allow a sender to share resources with itself. The length of this object should only be 2 or 6 bytes. If the length of this octet string is 2 bytes, then it must identify an RSVP-TE LSPID, or it is 6 bytes, it must contain a CR-LDP LSPID."

REFERENCE "RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels, RFC3209, Section 4.7.4." SYNTAX Unsigned32(0..4294967295) MplsTunnelIndex ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A unique index into mplsTunnelTable. For tunnels signaled using RSVP, this value should correspond to the RSVP Tunnel ID used for the RSVP-TE session." SYNTAX Unsigned32 (0..65535) MplsTunnelInstanceIndex ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The tunnel entry with instance index 0 should refer to the configured tunnel interface (if one exists). Values greater than 0, but less than or equal to 65535, should be used to indicate signaled (or backup) tunnel LSP instances. For tunnel LSPs signaled using RSVP, this value should correspond to the RSVP LSP ID used for the RSVP-TE LSP. Values greater than 65535 apply to FRR detour instances." SYNTAX Unsigned32(0|1..65535|65536..4294967295) TeHopAddressType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A value that represents a type of address for a Traffic Engineered (TE) Tunnel hop. unknown(0) An unknown address type. This value MUST be used if the value of the corresponding TeHopAddress object is a zero-length string. It may also be used to indicate a TeHopAddress which is not in one of the formats defined below. ipv4(1) An IPv4 network address as defined by the InetAddressIPv4 TEXTUAL-CONVENTION [RFC3291]. ipv6(2) A global IPv6 address as defined by the InetAddressIPv6 TEXTUAL-CONVENTION [RFC3291]. asnumber(3) An Autonomous System (AS) number as defined by the TeHopAddressAS TEXTUAL-CONVENTION. unnum(4) An unnumbered interface index as defined by the TeHopAddressUnnum TEXTUAL-CONVENTION. lspid(5) An LSP ID for TE Tunnels (RFC3212) as defined by the MplsLSPID TEXTUAL-CONVENTION. Each definition of a concrete TeHopAddressType value must be accompanied by a definition of a TEXTUAL-CONVENTION for use with that TeHopAddress. To support future extensions, the TeHopAddressType TEXTUAL-CONVENTION SHOULD NOT be sub-typed in object type definitions. It MAY be sub-typed in compliance statements in order to require only a subset of these address types for a compliant implementation. Implementations must ensure that TeHopAddressType objects and any dependent objects (e.g., TeHopAddress objects) are consistent. An inconsistentValue error must be generated if an attempt to change a TeHopAddressType object would, for example, lead to an undefined TeHopAddress value that is not defined herein. In particular, TeHopAddressType/TeHopAddress pairs must be changed together if the address type changes (e.g., from ipv6(2) to ipv4(1))." REFERENCE "TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONs for Internet Network Addresses, RFC3291. Constraint-Based LSP Setup using LDP, [RFC3212]" SYNTAX INTEGER { unknown(0), ipv4(1), ipv6(2), asnumber(3), unnum(4), lspid(5) } TeHopAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Denotes a generic Tunnel hop address, that is, the address of a node which an LSP traverses, including the source and destination nodes. An address may be very concrete, for example, an IPv4 host address (i.e., with prefix length 32); if this IPv4 address is an interface address, then that particular interface must be traversed. An address may also specify an 'abstract node', for example, an IPv4 address with prefix length less than 32, in which case, the LSP can traverse any node whose address falls in that range. An address may also specify an Autonomous System (AS), in which case the LSP can traverse any node that falls within that AS. A TeHopAddress value is always interpreted within the context of an TeHopAddressType value. Every usage of the TeHopAddress TEXTUAL-CONVENTION is required to specify the TeHopAddressType object which provides the context. It is suggested that the TeHopAddressType object is logically registered before the object(s) which use the TeHopAddress TEXTUAL-CONVENTION if they appear in the same logical row. The value of a TeHopAddress object must always be consistent with the value of the associated TeHopAddressType object. Attempts to set a TeHopAddress object to a value which is inconsistent with the associated TeHopAddressType must fail with an inconsistentValue error." SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..32)) TeHopAddressAS ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Represents a two or four octet AS number. The AS number is represented in network byte order (MSB first). A two-octet AS number has the two MSB octets set to zero." REFERENCE "Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses, [RFC3291]. The InetAutonomousSystemsNumber TEXTUAL-CONVENTION has a SYNTAX of Unsigned32, whereas this TC has a SYNTAX of OCTET STRING (SIZE (4)). Both TCs represent an autonomous system number but use different syntaxes to do so." SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (4)) TeHopAddressUnnum ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Represents an unnumbered interface: octets contents encoding 1-4 unnumbered interface network-byte order The corresponding TeHopAddressType value is unnum(5)."

Security Considerations This module does not define any management objects. Instead, it defines a set of textual conventions which may be used by other MPLS MIB modules to define management objects. Meaningful security considerations can only be written in the MIB modules that define management objects. Therefore, this document has no impact on the security of the Internet. 6. IANA Considerations IANA has made a MIB OID assignment under the transmission branch, that is, assigned the mplsStdMIB under { transmission 166 }. This sub-id is requested because 166 is the ifType for mpls(166) and is available under transmission. In the future, MPLS related standards track MIB modules should be rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree. The IANA is requested to manage that namespace. New assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in [RFC2434]. The IANA has also assigned { mplsStdMIB 1 } to the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB specified in this document. 7.
