RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

1. Introduction

PINT services are an emerging set of new Internet based applications
where voice (and fax) requests to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone
Network) are carried over the Internet. RFC 2458 [1] gives a good
introduction to the (pre-standard) PINT architecture and services.
It also has examples of some of the early implementations of pre-
PINT.

This document defines a MIB which contains the elements for
monitoring the performance of a PINT based service. The MIB consists
of details of the four basic PINT services and their performance
statistics measured under various criteria.

It is not the purpose of this MIB to enable management of the PINT
networking elements. We are concerned only with the PINT specific
performance parameters. While it is understood that PINT service
performance is closely related to host and network performance, they
are not addressed here.

2. The SNMP Management Framework

The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:

o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [2].

o 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
STD 16, RFC 1155 [3], STD 16, RFC 1212 [4] and RFC 1215 [5].
The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [6], RFC 2579 [7] and RFC 2580 [8].

o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [9]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [10] and
RFC 1906 [11]. The third version of the message protocol is
called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [11], RFC 2572 [12] and
RFC 2574 [13].

o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [9]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[14].

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 2]

RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [15] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[16].

A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [17].

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. The need for PINT services monitoring MIB

Traditionally voice (and fax) requests originate and terminate inside
a PSTN network. This network is well known for robust handling of
the requests, in terms of availability and security. However when
the requests originate from the Internet there is a concern both on
the part of the user as well as the provider about issues like
reliable forwarding of the call requests to the PINT gateway under
various network conditions, user/host authentication, secure handling
of the user information etc. Performance and security management
becomes all the more important where PINT services cross multiple
administrative domains (or providers).

This MIB is an attempt to list the parameters that need to be
monitored on an user, PINT client, PINT server and PINT gateway
basis.

(PINT services, their invocation methods/protocols and security
issues associated with the PINT architecture are discussed in detail
in [18]).

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

4. PINT MIB - Overview

Following is a list of some explanations on the MIB definitions that
we have chosen to construct.

o The basic purpose of this MIB is to monitor the access to PINT
services both from the performance and security point of view.
Information may pertain to a certain user or his/her system
(PINT client) or the system providing the PINT services (PINT
server) or the PINT gateway that forwards the call to the PSTN
network.

o We chose to build the configuration table as an extension of the
Application MIB - RFC 2287 [19] using the augments construct.
Server location and contact might be retrieved from the standard
MIB-II sysLocation and sysContact objects. There is no need to
replicate this information in the PINT MIB. However, the PINT
administrator may be a different person than the sysadmin with
global responsibilities, thus a pintSysContact object is
defined.

o We chose to monitor the gateway connections from the PINT
server. While the agent runs in the PINT servers, the
connections to the gateways might need to be monitored in order
to understand what goes on. We placed them in a separate MIB
group, and by using MODULE-COMPLIANCE clauses, agents that
cannot implement this stuff will not be mandated to do it.

o There is no traps definition in this MIB module. Note that
thresholding on counters is always possible by using a standard
mechanism defined by the Remote Monitoring MIB, that can be
referenced here. Some events that may be defined by using this
mechanisms:

* continuous login/authentication failure or refusal from a
particular client or user

* nuisance call - repeated calls (within a specified
period) to a number originating from the same user

o The client performance and user performance tables may be rather
resource demanding for an agent implementation. In some MIBs,
like the Remote Monitoring (RMON) MIBs, control mechanisms were
built in order to activate those statistics on demand. If
needed, a sorting ('topN') mechanism can be designed, so that a
sorted view of clients or users is presented for the high level
debugging.

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

o We built a time-distribution trying to cover both short-lived,
as well as longer sessions (1-10 secs, 10 secs - 1 min., 1-15
min., 15 mins-24 hours, longer).

o PintServerClientAddress is defined as a SnmpAdminString. It may
include an IpAddress and/or name, but we preferred to minimize
the number of indices at this stage, and keep a human-readable
format at the same time.

o We define pintServerUserIdName as the UserId. This UserId needs
to be unique across multiple PINT servers and gateways
(depending on the architecture) and is mapped to the SessionId.
One way to achieve this uniqueness is by appending clientId to
the UserId string before sending to the PINT server. The
SessionId could then be a combination of this new UserId and a
timestamp.

to produce this work.

7. Security Considerations

There is only one management object defined in this MIB that has a
MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write (pintSysContact). There are no
read-create objects. This read-write object 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.

There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain
information that may be sensitive from a business perspective. One
could be the customer identification (UserIdName). Also information
on PINT services performance might itself be need to be guarded. 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 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.

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 [13] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [16] is recommended.

Krishnaswamy & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 17]

RFC 3055 PINT MIB February 2001

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.

8. IANA Considerations

All extensions to the values listed in this MIB must be done through
Standards Action processes as defined in RFC 2434 [20].

9. Intellectual Property

The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in
this document or the extent to which any license under such rights
might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it
has made any effort to identify any such rights. Information on the
IETF's procedures with respect to rights in standards-track and
standards-related documentation can be found in BCP-11. Copies of
claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of
licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to
obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
proprietary rights by implementors or users of this specification can
be obtained from the IETF Secretariat.

The IETF invites any interested party to bring to its attention any
copyrights, patents or patent applications, or other proprietary
rights which may cover technology that may be required to practice
this standard. Please address the information to the IETF Executive
Director.
