1. Introduction
In BGP/MPLS Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) is used for distributing routes and Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) is used for forwarding packets across service
provider networks.
The procedures for supporting multicast in a BGP/MPLS Layer 3 (L3)
VPN are specified in [RFC6513]. The procedures for supporting
multicast in a BGP/MPLS Layer 2 (L2) VPN are specified in [RFC7117].
Throughout this document, we will use the term "L2L3VpnMCast network"
to mean a BGP/MPLS L2 and L3 VPN that supports multicast.
L2L3VpnMCast networks use various transport mechanisms for forwarding
a packet to all or a subset of Provider Edge (PE) routers across
service provider networks. These transport mechanisms are abstracted
as provider tunnels (P-tunnels). The type of P-tunnel indicates the
type of tunneling technology used to establish the P-tunnel. The
syntax and semantics of a Tunnel Identifier are determined by the
corresponding P-tunnel type [RFC6514]. The P-tunnel type and
P-tunnel identifier together identify a P-tunnel.
A BGP attribute that specifies information of a P-tunnel is called a
Provider Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel attribute. The
PMSI Tunnel attribute is advertised/received by PEs in BGP auto-
discovery (A-D) routes. [RFC6514] defines the format of a PMSI
Tunnel attribute. The P-tunnel type and the P-tunnel identifier are
included in the corresponding PMSI Tunnel attribute.
Zhang & Tsunoda Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 8502 L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB December 2018
This document describes textual conventions (TCs) and common managed
objects (MOs) that will be used by other Management Information Base
(MIB) modules for monitoring and/or configuring L2L3VpnMCast
networks.
This document defines two TCs to represent
(a) the type of a P-tunnel and
(b) the identifier of a P-tunnel
The document also defines MOs that will provide the information
contained in a PMSI Tunnel attribute and corresponding P-tunnel.
1.1. Terminology
This document adopts the definitions, acronyms, and mechanisms
described in [RFC6513] [RFC6514] [RFC7117] and other documents that
they refer to. Familiarity with multicast, MPLS, Layer 3 VPN, and
Multicast VPN concepts and/or mechanisms is assumed. Some terms
specifically related to this document are explained below.
PMSI [RFC6513] is a conceptual interface instantiated by a P-tunnel,
which is a transport mechanism used to deliver multicast traffic. A
PE uses it to send customer multicast traffic to all or some PEs in
the same VPN.
There are two kinds of PMSIs: Inclusive PMSI (I-PMSI) and Selective
PMSI (S-PMSI) [RFC6513]. An I-PMSI is a PMSI that enables a PE
attached to a particular Multicast VPN to transmit a message to all
PEs in the same VPN. An S-PMSI is a PMSI that enables a PE attached
to a particular Multicast VPN to transmit a message to some of the
PEs in the same VPN.
Throughout this document, we will use the term "PMSI" to refer to
both "I-PMSI" and "S-PMSI".
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 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.

2. 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].
3. Summary of MIB Modules
This document defines two MIB modules: L2L3-VPN-MULTICAST-TC-MIB and
L2L3-VPN-MULTICAST-MIB.
o L2L3-VPN-MULTICAST-TC-MIB contains two textual conventions:
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType and L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId.
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType provides an enumeration of the
P-tunnel types. L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId represents an
identifier of a P-tunnel.
o L2L3-VPN-MULTICAST-MIB defines the following table:
l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable. An entry in this table
corresponds to the attribute information of a specific P-tunnel on
a PE router. Entries in this table will be used by other MIB
modules for monitoring and/or configuring an L2L3VpnMCast network.
The table index uniquely identifies a P-tunnel. It is composed of
a type and identifier of a P-tunnel. The table may also be used
in conjunction with other MIBs, such as the MPLS Traffic
Engineering MIB (MPLS-TE-STD-MIB) [RFC3812], to obtain further
information about a P-tunnel. It may also be used in conjunction
with the Interfaces Group MIB (IF-MIB) [RFC2863] to obtain further
information about the interface corresponding to a P-tunnel.

DESCRIPTION
"This textual convention represents the Tunnel Identifier
of a P-tunnel.
The size of the identifier depends on the address family
(IPv4 or IPv6) and the value of the corresponding
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType object.
The corresponding L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType object
represents the type of tunneling technology used
to establish the P-tunnel.
The size of the identifier for each tunneling technology
is summarized below.
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelType Size (in octets)

ingressReplication (Ingress Replication) 4 16
ldpMp2mp (mLDP MP2MP LSP) 17 29
transportTunnel (Transport Tunnel) 8 32
The Tunnel Type is set to 'No tunnel information'
when the PMSI Tunnel attribute carries no tunnel
information (there is no Tunnel Identifier).
The value of the corresponding L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId
object will be a string of length zero.
Zhang & Tsunoda Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 8502 L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB December 2018
For Tunnel Type rsvpP2mp(1), the corresponding Tunnel
Identifier is composed of an Extended Tunnel ID (4 octets in
IPv4, 16 octets in IPv6), 2 unused (Reserved) octets that of
value zero, a Tunnel ID (2 octets), and a Point-to-Multipoint
(P2MP) ID (4 octets). The size of the corresponding
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId object will be 12 octets in IPv4
and 24 octets in IPv6.
For Tunnel Type ldpP2mp(2), the corresponding Tunnel
Identifier is the P2MP Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC)
Element (RFC 6388). The size of the corresponding
L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId object will be 17 octets
in IPv4 and 29 octets in IPv6.
For Tunnel Types pimSsm(3), PimAsm(4), and PimBidir(5), the
corresponding Tunnel Identifier is composed of the source IP
address and the group IP address.
The size of the corresponding L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId
object will be 8 octets in IPv4 and 32 octets in IPv6.
For Tunnel Type ingressReplication(6), the Tunnel Identifier
is the unicast tunnel endpoint IP address of the local PE.
The size of the corresponding L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId
object will be 4 octets in IPv4 and 16 octets in IPv6.
For Tunnel Type ldpMp2mp(7), the Tunnel Identifier is
a Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) FEC Element (RFC 6388).
The size of the corresponding L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId
object will be 17 octets in IPv4 and 29 octets in IPv6.
For Tunnel Type transportTunnel(8), the Tunnel Identifier
is a tuple of Source PE Address and Local Number,
which is a number that is unique to the Source PE (RFC 7524).
Both Source PE Address and Local Number are 4 octets in IPv4
and 16 octets in IPv6.
The size of the corresponding L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId
object will be 8 octets in IPv4 and 32 octets in IPv6.

5. Security Considerations
There are no management objects defined in these MIB modules that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if
this MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that
an intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB
module via direct SNMP SET operations.
Some of the objects in these MIB modules may be considered sensitive
or vulnerable in some network environments. This includes INDEX
objects with a MAX-ACCESS of not-accessible, and any indices from
other modules exposed via AUGMENTS. 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:
Zhang & Tsunoda Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 8502 L2L3-VPN-MCAST MIB December 2018
o the l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable collectively shows the
P-tunnel network topology and its performance characteristics.
For instance, l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeId in this table will
contain the identifier that uniquely identifies a P-tunnel. This
identifier may be composed of source and multicast group IP
addresses. l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelPointer and
l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelIf will point to the corresponding entries
in other tables containing configuration and/or performance
information of a P-tunnel and its interface. If an Administrator
does not want to reveal this information, then these objects
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),
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.
6. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the "SMI Network Management MGMT
Codes Internet-standard MIB" registry:
Name Description OBJECT-IDENTIFIER value
----------------- -------------------------- ----------------------
l2L3VpnMcastTCMIB L2L3-VPN-MULTICAST-TC-MIB { mib-2 244 }
l2L3VpnMcastMIB L2L3-VPN-MULTICAST-MIB { mib-2 245 }
