Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular it defines objects for managing IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) [RFC4944]. 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. Conventions 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 [RFC2119]. 4. Overview The LOWPAN-MIB module is primarily a collection of counters that reflect how 6LoWPAN datagrams are processed by the 6LoWPAN layer. The objects are defined twice, once to report the global statistics as seen by the 6LoWPAN layer and once to report per interface 6LoWPAN layer statistics. The per interface statistics are optional to implement. The object identifier registration tree has the following structure: ---- lowpanMIB(1.3.6.1.2.1.XXXX) +---- lowpanNotifications(0) +---- lowpanObjects(1) | +---- lowpanStats(1) | | +--r- lowpanReasmTimeout(1) Unsigned32 | | +--r- lowpanInReceives(2) Counter32 | | +--r- lowpanInHdrErrors(3) Counter32 | | +--r- lowpanInMeshReceives(4) Counter32 | | +--r- lowpanInMeshForwds(5) Counter32 | | +--r- lowpanInMeshDelivers(6) Counter32 Schoenwaelder, et al.

For link-layers that use the 6LoWPAN dispatch byte as defined in [RFC4944] (e.g., IEEE 802.15.4), a 6LoWPAN datagram is a datagram with a dispatch byte matching the bit patterns 01xxxxxx, 10xxxxxx, or 11xxxxxx. Datagrams with a dispatch byte matching the bit pattern 00xxxxxx (NALP - not a LoWPAN frame) are not considered to be 6LoWPAN datagram by this specification. Other radio technologies may use different mechanisms to identify 6LoWPAN datagrams (e.g., the BLUETOOTH Low Energy Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol uses Channel Identifiers [I-D.ietf-6lo-btle]). The following diagram illustrates the conceptual relationships between the counters. Schoenwaelder, et al.

The discard counters have been placed at the end of the input and output chains but they can be bumped any time if a datagram is discarded for a reason not covered by the other counters. The compression related counters provide insights into compression requests and in particular also compression related failures. Note that the diagram is conceptual in the sense that compression happens after reassembly for incoming 6LoWPAN datagrams and compression happens before fragmentation for outgoing 6LoWPAN datagrams. Implementations may choose to implement things slightly differently. For example, implementations may decompress FRAG1 fragments as soon as they are received, not waiting for reassembly to complete. The mesh header processing related counters do not have an explicit Schoenwaelder, et al. Expires October 10, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft LOWPAN-MIB April 2014 discard counter. Implementations that do not support mesh forwarding MUST count the number of received 6LoWPAN datagrams with a MESH header (lowpanInMeshReceives) but they MUST NOT increment the lowpanInMeshReceives and lowpanInMeshDelivers counters if these 6LoWPAN datagrams are dropped. 5.

Security Considerations 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: The read-only counters provide insights into the amount of 6LoWPAN traffic a node is receiving or transmitting. This might provide information whether a device is regularly exchanging information with other devices or whether a device is mostly not participating in any communication (e.g., the device might be "easier" to take away unnoticed). The reassembly counters could be used to direct denial of service attacks on the reassembly mechanism. 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. 8. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to assign a value for "XXXX" under the 'mib-2' subtree and to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry. When the assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace "XXXX" (here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove this note. Schoenwaelder, et al.

JSON Representation Using the translation algorithm defined in [RFC6643], the SMIv2 module can be translated to YANG. Using the JSON representation of data modeled in YANG defined in [I-D.lhotka-netmod-yang-json], the objects defined in the MIB module can be represented in JSON as shown below. The compact representation without any white space uses 468 octets. (Of course, this number depends on the number of octets needed for the counter values.) Schoenwaelder, et al.
