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.

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].

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
                               }
