Abstract
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) a reliable transport
protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as
IP, designed to transport PSTN signaling messages over the connectionless
packet network, but is capable of broader applications.
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
describes managed objects for implementation of the SCTP.
Open Issues
- Remove this section.
- Remove Revision History
- Decide under which object identifier branch of the SNMP tree, SCTP
will be placed (value obtained when submitted to the IETF editor).
- The MIB cannot be compiled because new textual convention for
Internet Network Address (draft-ops-endpoint-mib-08.txt) is work
in progress, not an RFC.
- Update references to drafts.

1. Introduction
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which
describes managed objects for implementations of the SCTP.
The document starts with a brief description of the SNMP framework and
continues with the MIB explanation and security consideration among
others.
The managed objects in this MIB module have been based on RFC 2012:
"SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control
Protocol using SMIv2" [2].
Terms related to the SCTP architecture are explained in [1]. Other
especific abbreviations are listed below.
1.1 Abbreviations
MIB - Management Information Base
SCTP - Stream Control Transmission Protocol
SMI - Structure of Management Information
SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol
2. The SNMP Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
- An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [SNMPArch].
- 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
RFC 1155 [SMIv1], RFC 1212 [SNMPv1MIBDef] and RFC 1215
[SNMPv1Traps]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described
in RFC 1902 [SMIv2], RFC 1903 [SNMPv2TC] and RFC 1904
[SNMPv2Conf].
- Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1
and described in RFC 1157 [SNMPv1]. A second version of the
SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards
track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901
[SNMPv2c] and RFC 1906 [SNMPv2TM]. The third version of the
message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906
[SNMPv2TM], RFC 2272 [SNMPv3MP] and RFC 2574 [SNMPv3USM].
- Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in RFC 1157 [SNMPv1]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[SNMPv2PO].
- A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273
[SNMPv3App] and the view-based access control mechanism
described in RFC 2575 [SNMPv3VACM].
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. Structure of the MIB
The MIB is structured in the following way:
sctpMib
/ \
sctpObjects sctpConformance
/ \
sctpScalars sctpTables
where the following sections are described :
- sctpObjects, where all the SCTP objects are defined under
this branch.
- sctpScalars, where scalars values are placed. It is
divided in:
- General variables, where the main SCTP initial
variables are listed.
- Statistics for traffic measurements.
- state related
- other statistics
- sctpTables, to hold data from each association
together with the main statistics (per association or
transport address). Local and remote tables are included
into the general association table to allow multiples
IP addresses in order to support the multihome feature.
- sctpConformance, for the Unit of Conformance.
3.1 Scalars
3.1.1 Protocol General Variables
The first section of the MIB contains the general variables for the
SCTP protocol. Parameters as the RTO related variables, streams, timers
and heartbeat are described. Maximum and Minimum values can be found here.
SCTP RTO mechanism is the same as defined in TCP. So, the variable is
based on the one defined in RFC 2012. In SCTP protocol, only options
'other' and 'vanj' remain because SCTP protocol defines Van Jacobson's
algorithm as the one to be used to calculate RTO. 'Other' is left for
future use ('rsre' algorithm was eliminated because MIL-STD-1778 is
Cancelled-No Superseding Document according to the Military Standard
library and 'constant' option doesn't fulfill the SCTP protocol
description).
Cookies and heartbeat values have been added acording to the SCTP
protocol.
Timers for initialization and shutdown procedures have been included,
so the operator can check them and take the proper actions when
required.
Since SCTP is based on the transmission through streams, it's
interesting to know the maximum number of streams allowed in a given
association. The number of used streams will be negotiated at
initialization time.
3.1.2 Statistics for traffic Measurements
3.1.2.1 State-Related Statistics
These measures are considered important and are also based in the TCP
model, but adapted to the SCTP states. They allow to check how easy is
to init an association, how many association connection attempts become
established associations or how many associations terminate, amongst others.
3.1.2.2 Other Statistics
Other statistics are specified based on the data unit of SCTP: the chunk.
In this way, we have the whole picture of the bytes flow.
Also, there are statistics related to the SCTP packets. I.e., the number
of out of the blue packets received by the host (SCTP packets correctly formed,
i.e. rigth checksum, whose receiver is not able to identify the association to
which this packet belongs). And the number of SCTP packets received with an
invalid checksum.
3.2 Association Tables
The part of the MIB to define each association is structured
according to a expanded table. There is a main table, indexed by the
association identification. This main table contains information
common for a given association (association id, SCTP user ports, primary
address, negotiated number of inbound/outbound streams, retransmited
chunks and statistics).
This main table (for the association) contains two other tables :
a) Table for local IP address/-ess information:
This table stores information related to the local IP
address/-ess reserved for the association. It's indexed by
the IP address/-ess.
b) Table for remote IP address/-ess information:
This table stores information related to the remote IP
address/-ess reserved for the association. It's indexed by
the IP addresses. It includes statistics, heartbeat issues,
retransmissions counters and the state of the reachibility
of the referenced IP address.
Note that the IP address indexing the tables is valid for IPv4, IPv6 and
DNS [ConvIETF]. Therefore, IP address is defined by the Internet address
type and the value of the IP address, according to the Textual Conventions
for Internet Network Address.
However, DNS value is not being used to identify an IP address since it is
only valid during initialization (once init is finished, both sides only use
IP addresses). To keep the name of the remote peer, an entry has been created
(sctpAssocRemHostName) in the association table. When no DNS name is
provided by the remote endpoint at init time, this value will be NULL.
Otherwise, the received DNS name will be stored.
The variable RowStatus allows creating and deleting rows in the table.
Creation will be performed after the four handshake protocol at association
start up phase (when the association is considered established). Deletion
will be performed when the association is terminated either in a graceful
or ungraceful way [ConvSMIv2].

6. Security Consideration
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that have
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.
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 security measures
are taken (e.g., using IPSEC), there is no per-user control as to who
(once an IPSEC association is established between hosts) is allowed to
GET or SET 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 [RFC2574] and the View-based Access
Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended.
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.

9. Revision History
9.1 Changes from <SCTP-MIB-predraft-01.txt>
o Open issues updated
o Section 2: Reference to RFC227x changed to RFC257x
o Section 4: Inside the sctpRtoAlgorithm definition has been put "other" first
rather than last. That way, it won't end up in the middle of things when new
enumerations are added later.
9.2 Changes from <draft-ietf-sigtran-sctp-mib-00.txt>
o Change of "Simple" word to "Stream" word in SCTP acronyms
o Version of the MIB based on SCTPv10
o Section 2: Update SNMP Framework to include the standard explanation
o New Structure for the MIB:
sctpMIB
\- sctpObjects
\- sctpScalars
\- sctpTables
\- sctpConformance
o Section 4.1.2: Unit of Conformance updated (functional structure).
o MAX-ACCESS clauses reviewed
o The general statistics has been re-ordered, placed before the tables.
o In SMIv2, indexes should be not-accessible (= the object type is a
column in a table used as index and may not be used as an operand in any
operation != SMIv1) (pp109-110 in [])
o IPv6 compatible:
- Change of Primary/Local/Remote addresses
- PENDING: check "MODULE-COMPLIANCE"
o Row Status included in AssocTable, AssocLocal and AssocRem to create,
modify and delete rows in the tables.
o SCTP general statistics changed from Counter32 to Counter64 since it supports
more data changes.
o sctpCurrEstab ("State-related variables and statistics" section) variable
changed from Gauge32 to Counter32.
o sctpAssocRemAddressT1expired and sctpAssocRemAddressT2expired have been
removed from the remote table and added in the general association data
since they are variables per association (not per IP address).
o sctpAssocDropDatag statistic has been removed from the general association
statistics since it had an ambiguous meaning.
o Explained the meaning of the unordered chunks (chunks in which the U bit is
set to 1) in sctpStatOutOfOrderSentChunks and sctpStatOutOfOrderRecChunks.
o Added sctpChecksumErrorCounter to collect information about wrong checksums
received from the peer.
o Specify that sctpStatSentChunks and sctpStatRecChunks does not contain
retransmission chunks.
o Reword the Security Considerations chapter pointing out that IPsec does
not secure the network but it provides end-to-end security over a network.
o sctpAssocRemAddressRtxChunks replaced as a variable per association,
meaning the number of chunks retransmited to the peer in the current
association.
o sctpHeartBeatMisses and sctpMaxRetr have been replaced from the general
SCTP statistics to the remote IP address table (sctpHeartBeatMisses) and
in the association table (sctpMaxRetr).
o Specify that the retransmissions in the general SCTP statistics include
control plus data chunks.
o Included heartbeat timer for remote IP address.
o Removed sctpAssocRemAddressHeartBeatMisses variable from the remote IP
address table.
o Removed sctpAssocRemAddressT3expired variable from the remote IP
address table.
o Updated variables to the new SCTP states defined in v10.
