MPLS-TC-STD-MIB by vendor RFC

MPLS-TC-STD-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

           of 32 can only be used for the Control VC,
           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 contains a
             value greater than 2^24-1 and used in GMPLS
             as defined in [RFC3471]."

          "A unique identifier within an MPLS network that is

           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

                        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))."

    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."
