1. Introduction

Dual-Stack Lite [RFC6333] is a solution that offers both IPv4 and
IPv6 connectivity to customers crossing an IPv6-only infrastructure.
One of its key components is an IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel, which is used
to provide IPv4 connectivity across a service provider's IPv6
network. Another key component is a carrier-grade IPv4-IPv4 Network
Address Translation (NAT) to share service provider IPv4 addresses
among customers.

This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet
community. This MIB module may be used for configuration and
monitoring of Address Family Transition Routers (AFTRs) in a Dual-
Stack Lite scenario.

2. Requirements Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. When these words are not in ALL CAPS (such
as "should" or "Should"), they have their usual English meanings and
are not to be interpreted as [RFC2119] key words.

3. 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
[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].

4. Relationship to the IF-MIB

The Interfaces MIB [RFC2863] defines generic managed objects for
managing interfaces. Each logical interface (physical or virtual)
has an ifEntry. Tunnels are handled by creating a logical interface
(ifEntry) for each tunnel. Each DS-Lite tunnel endpoint also acts as
a virtual interface that has a corresponding entry in the IP Tunnel
MIB and Interface MIB. Those corresponding entries are indexed by
ifIndex.

The ifOperStatus in ifTable is used to represent whether the DS-Lite
tunnel function has been triggered. The ifInUcastPkts defined in
ifTable will represent the number of IPv4 packets that have been
encapsulated into IPv6 packets sent to a Basic Bridging BroadBand
(B4). The ifOutUcastPkts defined in ifTable contains the number of
IPv6 packets that can be decapsulated to IPv4 in the virtual
interface. Also, the IF-MIB defines ifMtu for the MTU of this tunnel
interface, so the DS-Lite MIB does not need to define the MTU for the
tunnel.

5. Difference from the IP Tunnel MIB and NATV2-MIB

The key technologies for DS-Lite are IP-in-IP (IPv4-in-IPv6) tunnels
and NAT (IPv4-to-IPv4 translation).

Notes: According to Section 5.2 of [RFC6333], DS-Lite only defines
IPv4 in IPv6 tunnels at this moment, but other types of encapsulation
could be defined in the future. So, the DS-Lite MIB only supports
IP-in-IP encapsulation. If another RFC defines other tunnel types in
the future, the DS-Lite MIB will be updated then.

Fu, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 7870 DS-Lite MIB for AFTRs June 2016

The NATV2-MIB [RFC7659] is designed to carry translation from any
address family to any address family; therefore, it supports IPv4-to-
IPv4 translation.

The IP Tunnel MIB [RFC4087] is designed to manage tunnels of any type
over IPv4 and IPv6 networks; therefore, it already supports IP-in-IP
tunnels. But in a DS-Lite scenario, the tunnel type is point-to-
multipoint IP-in-IP tunnels. The direct(2) defined in the IP Tunnel
MIB only supports point-to-point tunnels. So, it needs to define a
new tunnel type for DS-Lite.

However, the NATV2-MIB and IP Tunnel MIB together are not sufficient
to support DS-Lite. This document describes the specific features
for the DS-Lite MIB, as below.

In the DS-Lite scenario, the Address Family Transition Router (AFTR)
is not only the tunnel-end concentrator, but also an IPv4-to-IPv4
NAT. So, as defined in [RFC6333], when the IPv4 packets come back
from the Internet to the AFTR, it knows how to reconstruct the IPv6
encapsulation by doing a reverse lookup in the extended IPv4 NAT
binding table (Section 6.6 of [RFC6333]). The NAT binding table in
the AFTR is extended to include the IPv6 address of the tunnel
initiator. However, the NAT binding information defined in the
NATV2-MIB as natv2PortMapTable is indexed by the NAT instance,
protocol, and external realm and address. Because the
tunnelIfTable defined in the TUNNEL-MIB [RFC4087] is indexed by the
ifIndex, the DS-Lite MIB needs to define the tunnel objects to extend
the NAT binding entry by interface. Therefore, a combined MIB is
necessary.

An implementation of the IP Tunnel MIB is required for DS-Lite. As
the tunnel is not point-to-point in DS-Lite, it needs to define a new
tunnel type for DS-Lite. The tunnelIfEncapsMethod in the
tunnelIfEntry should be set to dsLite(17), and a corresponding entry
in the DS-Lite module will exist for every tunnelIfEntry with this
tunnelIfEncapsMethod. The tunnelIfRemoteInetAddress must be set to
"::".

6. Structure of the MIB Module

The DS-Lite MIB provides a way to monitor and manage the devices
(AFTRs) in a DS-Lite scenario through SNMP.

The DS-Lite MIB is configurable on a per-interface basis. It depends
on several parts of the IF-MIB [RFC2863], IP Tunnel MIB [RFC4087],
and NATV2-MIB [RFC7659].

Fu, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 7870 DS-Lite MIB for AFTRs June 2016

6.1. The Object Group

This group defines objects that are needed for the DS-Lite MIB.

6.1.1. The dsliteTunnel Subtree

The dsliteTunnel subtree describes managed objects used for managing
tunnels in the DS-Lite scenario. Because the
tunnelInetConfigLocalAddress and the tunnelInetConfigRemoteAddress
defined in the IP Tunnel MIB are not readable, a few new objects are
defined in the DS-Lite MIB.

6.1.2. The dsliteNAT Subtree

The dsliteNAT subtree describes managed objects used for
configuration and monitoring of an AFTR that is capable of a NAT
function. Because the NATV2-MIB supports the NAT management function
in DS-Lite, we may reuse it in the DS-Lite MIB. The dsliteNAT
subtree also provides the mapping information between the tunnel
entry (dsliteTunnelEntry) and the NAT entry (dsliteNATBindEntry) by
adding the IPv6 address of the B4 to the natv2PortMapEntry in the
NATV2-MIB. The mapping behavior, filtering behavior, and pooling
behavior described in this subtree are all defined in [RFC4787].

6.1.3. The dsliteInfo Subtree

The dsliteInfo subtree provides statistical information for DS-Lite.

6.2. The Notification Group

This group defines some notification objects for a DS-Lite scenario.

6.3. The Conformance Group

The dsliteConformance subtree provides conformance information of MIB
objects.

7. MIB Modules Required for IMPORTS

This MIB module IMPORTs objects from [RFC2578], [RFC2580], [RFC2863],
[RFC3411], [RFC4001], and [RFC7659].

9. Security Considerations

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 opens devices to attack. These
are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

dsliteAFTRAlarmConnectNumber

dsliteAFTRAlarmSessionNumber

dsliteAFTRAlarmPortNumber

Notification thresholds: An attacker setting an arbitrarily low
threshold can cause many useless notifications to be generated.
Setting an arbitrarily high threshold can effectively disable
notifications, which could be used to hide another attack.

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:

Fu, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]

RFC 7870 DS-Lite MIB for AFTRs June 2016

entries in dsliteTunnelTable

entries in dsliteNATBindTable

Objects that reveal host identities: Various objects can reveal the
identity of private hosts that are engaged in a session with external
end nodes. A curious outsider could monitor these to assess the
number of private hosts being supported by the AFTR device. Further,
a disgruntled former employee of an enterprise could use the
information to break into specific private hosts by intercepting the
existing sessions or originating new sessions into the host. If
nothing else, unauthorized monitoring of these objects will violate
individual subscribers' privacy.

Unauthorized read access to the dsliteTunnelTable would reveal
information about the tunnel topology.

SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
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.

Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the
SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming
compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for
authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
[RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826]. Implementations
MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
[RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
[RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].

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.

10. IANA Considerations

IANA has allocated the following OBJECT IDENTIFIER value and recorded
it in the SMI Numbers registry in the subregistry called "SMI Network
Management MGMT Codes Internet-standard MIB" under the mib-2 branch
(1.3.6.1.2.1):

Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
---------- -----------------------
DSLite-MIB { mib-2 240 }

IANA has recorded the following IANAtunnelType Textual Convention
within the IANAifType-MIB:

IANAtunnelType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
SYNTAX INTEGER {
dsLite(17) -- DS-Lite tunnel
}
