1. Introduction

This document describes a model for managing "emulated" ATM services
over a Packet Switched Network (PSN).

The document follows the requirements for Pseudowire Emulation Edge-
to-Edge [PWREQ]; it is closely related to [ATMENCAP] and [ATMTRANS],
which describe the encapsulation of ATM signals and provide the
Emulation Service over a Packet Switched Network.

The ATM management model consists of several MIB modules, following
the layering model described in the PWE3 Architecture [PWARCH]
document. The ATM MIB module described in this document works
closely with the MIB modules described in [AToMTC], [AToM], [IFMIB],
[PWMIB], and the textual conventions defined in [PWTC]. The
conceptual layering and relationship among all of those is described
in Figure 1 and in the "Relation to Other PW-MIB Modules" section
listed below. An ATM connection will be a pseudowire (PW)
connection. It will not be treated as an interface and will
therefore not be represented in the ifTable.

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 [BCP14].

3. Terminology

This document follows the terminology used in PW Architecture
[PWARCH].

PSN-bound References the traffic direction where an ATM Cell
is received, adapted to the packet, assigned a PW
label, and sent into the PSN. Within the MIB
objects, it is called outbound.

Nicklass & Nadeau Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 5605 Manage ATM over PSN July 2009

CE-bound The direction where packets are received
from the PSN, cells are reconstructed from the
packet payloads, and are sent into the ATM network
as cells. Within the MIB objects, it is called
inbound.

Adaptation Refers to the method of adapting a "foreign"
communications protocol such that it can be
carried by a packet switched net (the PSN). For
example, in an ATM service, the foreign protocol
is ATM. The PSN may be MPLS.

PSN Packet Switched Network.

PSN Tunnel A general term indicating a virtual connection
between the two PW edge devices. In practice,
this connection is not limited to path-oriented
types of PSNs such as MPLS. An example of a non-
path-oriented PSN is an IP PSN.

4. 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].

5. Overview

This MIB module is designed to satisfy the following requirements and
constraints:

o Fit within the architecture defined by [PWARCH] and [PWMIB].

o Fit within the model for Virtual Path/Virtual Circuit (VP/VC)
definitions and management concept as defined in the [AToM] MIB.

o Support manually configured ATM PWs.

Nicklass & Nadeau Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 5605 Manage ATM over PSN July 2009

o Support automatically configured ATM PWs.

o Enable the use of any PSN type.

o Support point-to-point ATM PW connections. Point-to-multipoint
and multipoint-to-point connections are for future study.

o Allow configuration of all the parameters needed to establish a PW
to carry ATM cells.

o Report ATM performance metrics for the ATM PW. This includes
cells transmit, Cells dropped, Cells received, and unknownCells.
In addition, it reports performance metrics at packet level.

o Support ATM Operations, Administration, and Management (OAM)
cells.

o Do not consider Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)
support.

6. Relation to Other PW-MIB Modules

The MIB structure for defining a PW service is composed of three
layers of MIB modules functioning together. This general model is
defined in the PWE3 Architecture [PWARCH]. The layering model is
intended to sufficiently isolate PW services from the underlying PSN
layer that carries the emulated service. This is done at the same
time as providing a standard means for connecting any supported
services to any supported PSNs.

The first layer, known as the service layer, contains service-
specific modules such as the one defined in this document. These
modules define service-specific management objects that interface or
collaborate with existing MIB modules for the native version of the
service. The service-specific module "glues" the standard module to
the PWE MIB framework.

The next layer of the PWE MIB framework is comprised of the PW-MIB
module [PWMIB]. This module is used to configure general parameters
of PW connections that are common to all types of emulated services
and PSNs. This layer is connected to the service-specific layer
above, and the PSN layer below.

The PSN layer provides PSN-specific modules for each type of PSN.
These modules associate the PW with one or more "tunnels" that carry
the service over the PSN. These modules are defined in other
documents. This module is used to "glue" the PW service to the

Nicklass & Nadeau Standards Track [Page 5]

RFC 5605 Manage ATM over PSN July 2009

underlying PSN-specific MIB modules. In the case of MPLS, for
example, the PW-MPLS MIB [PWMPLSMIB] is used to connect the PW
service to either the MPLS-LDP [LDPMIB] or MPLS-TE [TEMIB] MIBs.

[PWTC] defines some of the object types used in these modules.

7. ATM-PW MIB Usage

This section provides an example of using the MIB objects described
in section 9 to set up an ATM PW. While this example is not meant to
illustrate every permutation of the MIB, it is intended as an aid in
the understanding of some key concepts. It is meant to be read after
going through the MIB itself. See [PWMIB] for an example of setting
up a PSN Tunnel.

The following example illustrates how a user will set up an ATM
Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) ATM PW on a switch/router with cells
entering the switch/router through ATM Interface with IfIndex 1000
[IFMIB], Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) 1 and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) 100 (from an ATM network to a PSN -- outbound
direction) and on the way back, it goes out of the switch/router
through ATM Interface 1000 with VPI 1 and VCI 100 (PSN to ATM network
-- inbound direction).

First create an entry in the PW MIB with pwType atmAal5SduVcc(2),
then create entries in the pwAtmCfg table, inbound and outbound
tables.

pwAtmOutboundVpi 1 --Outbound VPI
pwAtmOutboundVci 100 --Outbound VCI
pwAtmOutboundTrafficParamDescr 0.0 --Best Effort

In pwAtmInboundTable
{
pwAtmInboundAtmIf 1000 --Inbound AtmIf
pwAtmInboundVpi 1 --Inbound VPI
pwAtmInboundVci 100 --Inbound VCI
pwAtmInboundTrafficParamDescr 0.0 --Best Effort
pwAtmInboundRowStatus createAndGo
}

8. Structure of the MIB Module

This MIB consists of 4 types of tables;

It is important to note that the TrafficParamDescr Table is not
defined as part of this MIB, although an object pointing to such a
table entry exists in all configuration tables of this MIB module.
Users can refer to any ATM TrafficDescr (TD) Table if there is a need
to overwrite the TD assigned to the ATM endpoint in the ATM service
MIB [AToM].

o PW ATM Cfg Table: A table for generic parameters for ATM PW
configuration that is applicable for each ATM PW.

o PW ATM Outbound Table: There are two tables to configure an
outbound ATM PW depending on the type of service. One table for
1:1 service, and the other for N:1 service and transparent cell
mode [ATMTRANS].

Nicklass & Nadeau Standards Track [Page 7]

RFC 5605 Manage ATM over PSN July 2009

o PW ATM Inbound Table: There are two tables to configure an inbound
ATM PW depending on the type of service. One table for 1:1
service, and the other for N:1 service and transparent cell mode.

o PW ATM Perf Table: There are three tables; each contains the
relevant time-dependent statistics for an ATM PW Entry. There is
a current table, a 15-minute interval table, and a one-day
interval table. The tables are aligned with statistic models of
other PW services.

10. 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 can have a negative effect on
network operations. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:

The pwAtmOutboundTable, pwAtmInboundTable, pwAtmCfgTable,
pwAtmOutboundNto1Table, and pwAtmInboundNto1Table contain objects of
ATM PW parameters on a Provider Edge (PE) device. Unauthorized
access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of
traffic on the network.

The use of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be
considered where possible. Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM MUST be
used with any SNMPV3 agent, which implements this MIB module.
Administrators should consider whether read access to these objects
should be allowed, since read access may be undesirable under certain
circumstances.

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:

Nicklass & Nadeau Standards Track [Page 33]

RFC 5605 Manage ATM over PSN July 2009

The pwATMCfgTable, pwAtmPerfCurrentTable, pwAtmPerfIntervalTable, and
pwAtmPerf1DayIntervalTable collectively show the ATM pseudowire
connectivity topology and its performance characteristics.

If an Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then
these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable.

SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
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 module.

It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).

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.
