1. Introduction
This memo defines a MIB for managing network measurements based upon
the IP performance metrics specified by the IPPM Working Group.
The definition of objects in the IPPM MIB are built on notions
introduced and discussed in the IPPM Framework document, RFC 2330
[ii].
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB), and as such it
is intended to be respectful of the "Boilerplate for IETF MIBs"
defined in http://www.ops.ietf.org/mib-boilerplate.html.
There are companion documents to the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB both in the
Transport Area (See section 2), and in the Operations and Management
Area (See section 3). The reader should be familiar with these
documents.

2. The IPPM Framework
The IPPM Framework consists of 3 major components:
A general framework for defining performance metrics, as described in
the Framework for IP Performance Metrics, RFC 2330 [2];
A set of standardized metrics which conform to this framework: The
IPPM Metrics for Measuring Connectivity, RFC 2678 [iii]; The One-way
Delay Metric for IPPM, RFC 2679 [iv]; The One-way Packet Loss Metric
for IPPM, RFC 2680 [v]; The Round-trip Delay Metric for IPPM, RFC
2681 [vi].
Emerging metrics that are being specified in respect of this
framework.
3. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework consists of five major components:
An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [2].
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], STD 58,
RFC 2579 [7] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [8].
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].
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].
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].
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 3]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
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.
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an
OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name.
The object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to
refer to the object type.

4. Overview
Although the number of measurement devices that implement IPPM
metrics is growing, there is not currently any standardized
management interface to manage remotely the measurement of these
metrics. This memo defines a Management Information Base for managing
the measurement of IPPM metrics.
To permit metrics to be referenced by other MIBs and other protocols,
the IPPM WG has defined a registry of the current metrics and a
framework for the integration of future metrics in the [IPPM metrics
registry].
As the specification of new metrics is a continuous process, this
memo defines a framework for the integration of the future
standardized metrics.
The MIB architecture is inspired by the RMON model [xxiii],[xxiv]
which specifies the MIB for the monitoring of a single point of
measure. The IPPM-REPORTING-MIB differs from this model in that IPPM
metrics measurement involves several points of measure and requires
common references for time and for measure identification.
The IPPM-REPORTING-MIB introduces a framework where each application
identifies its measures in an owner namespace. The administrator may
grant access to a measure, or set of measures to another owner via
view based access control. As a result, one owner may compute
aggregated metrics on another ownerĆs network measures.
Different architectures may be used to perform metric measurements,
using a control protocol and a test protocol. Different control
frameworks are suitable for performing measurements. The memo lists
them, while also looking for a way to integrate them with the IPPM-
REPORTING-MIB. This section is for informational purposes only, and
is intended to help to specify the relationship among the test
protocol, the control protocol and the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB.
Special care has been taken to provide a reporting mode suitable for
control protocols and test protocols. It addresses the need to
provide access to results for the applications. Moreover, it may be
used to reduce the number of control frameworks.
This MIB is intended to handle multiple concurrent sessions by SNMP
applications. However, the SNMP requests are not necessarily to be
handled explicitly by the measurement devices, but can be sent to
middleware performing an aggregation function. This allows for
continuous collection of measurements and statistics computation.

Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
4.1. Textual Conventions
Seven types of data are introduced as textual conventions in this
document: IppmOwnerString, TimeUnit,TypeP, TypePaddress,
GMTTimeStamp, IppmStandardMetrics and IppmReportDefinition.
4.1.1 IppmOwnerString
This octet string is used to represent the owners of the various
measures and reports in the measurement system.
4.1.2 TimeUnit
This textual convention is used to indicate a unit of time, ranging
from nanosecond, microsecond, millisecond, second, hour, day, week,
month, and year.
4.1.3 TypeP and TypePaddress
Section 13 of the IPPM framework [2] introduces the generic notion of
a "packet of type P" because in some contexts the metric's value
depends on the type of the packets involved in the metric. In the
definition of a metric, the type P will be explicitly defined,
partially defined, or left generic. Measurement of metrics defined
with generic type P are made specific when performing actual
measurements. It is important that one be conscious of the exact type
of traffic being measured.
The standardization of the management of the IPPM measures relies on
the capability to finely and unambiguously configure the type P of
the packets, and the parameters of the protocol suites of the type P.
RMON2 introduced the concept of protocol identifiers. RFC2895 [xxv]
specifies a macro for the definition of protocol identifier. The
RFC2896 [xxvi] defines the protocol identifiers for different
protocol encapsulation trees.
The type P implementation relies on the MACRO PROTOCOL-IDENTIFIER
defined for identifying protocol suites in RMON2. It is achieved by
defining the TypeP and the TypePaddress as new syntax in SMIv2
TEXTUAL-CONVENTION.
4.1.3.1 Internet addresses
The section 14 of the IPPM framework defines (for the usual case of a
unidirectional path through the Internet) the term "Src" and "Dst".
"Src" denotes the IP address of the beginning of the path, and "Dst"
denotes the IP address of the end.
The section 3 of the RMON PI Reference specifies the Protocol
Identifier Encoding rules, which consists briefly in a recursive
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 6]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
length value format. "Src" and "Dst" are protocol identifier
parameters. Their values are encoded in separated fields using the
encoding rules of the protocol identifier, but without trailing
parameters.
The packet encapsulation defined in an instance of TypeP embeds the
format of "Src" and "Dst" and their values. The type and value of
these addresses depend on the type P of the packet, IP version 4,
IPV6, IP in IP... Both participate in the completion of the packet
encoding.
Examples:
RFC2896 defines the protocol identifiers ip and ipip4. Should there
be an Internet tunnel end-point of the IP address 192.168.1.1 in the
tunnel 128.2.6.7. the TypeP of the source address of the tunnel, Src,
is 'ip.ipip4'. The encoding of 'ip.ipip4' using the RFC2895 rules
adds a trailer 2.0.0. It means that an instance of this protocol
identifier has 2 parameters, which values will be set only when
implemented. In the IPPM TypeP context these 2 parameters are
provided in Src (or Dst). In the current example the value of Src is
"192.168.1.1 128.2.6.7".
4.1.4 GMTTimeStamp
This textual convention defines the time at which an event occurred.
It is very similar to the NTP timestamp format except that it
represents the time elapsed since January 1st, 2000 instead of
January 1st, 1900.
4.1.5 IppmStandardMetrics
Each standard metric is identified in the IPPM-METRICS-REGISTRY under
the node rfc in a chronological order. This textual convention
defines an octet string to permit several metrics to be performed in
a single measure.
4.1.6 Report definition
A report consists of sending, or logging, a subset of results of
measurements that have been taken over a period of time. The report
consists of actions that are taken on the measurement results. An
action is performed either:
+ For each result
+ On the results corresponding to a measurement cycle
+ On the results available at the measurement completion.
To preserve the scalability of the whole measurement system, it
limits:
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 7]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
+ The amount of data sent to the applications
+ The bandwidth consumption for uploading the result
+ The number of alarms sent to the applications
+ The amount of data saved in the point of measure
The comparison of the measures results in a metric threshold that
identifies particular measure values and times that directly impact
service availability.
The comparison of the duration of repeated events with a duration
threshold identifies particular measure values and times that
directly affect an SLA.
The combination of IPPM metric results, threshold events, and event
filtering provides a very efficient mechanism to report results,
events, and alarms.
A report is described using the TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
IppmReportDefinition. The report setup must not dramatically increase
the amount of data needed by the control protocol to setup a measure:
+ A basic report is defined in the object ippmReportSetupDefinition;
+ More elaborate reports are described using a metric threshold to
generate alarms and events.
+ Pushing of alarms and reports requires a management station
address to which the data will be sent.
+ SLA alarms are described using an events duration threshold.
The TEXTUAL-CONVENTION IppmReportDefinition specifies the list of
events and actions that are used to create a report.
4.2 Structure of the MIB
The MIB is arranged as follow:
- ippmSystem
- ippmOwners
- ippmHistory
- ippmNetMeasure
- ippmAggrMeasure
- ippmReport
- ippmNotifications
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 8]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
4.2.1 The ippmSystem Group
This group consists of a set of parameters describing the clock
synchronization at a particular point of measure over time, as well
as the system clock where the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB agent resides.
This group is critical to the implementation of the IPPM MIB.
Section 6.3. of the IPPM Framework states that
"Those who develop such measurement methodologies should strive to:
+ Minimize their uncertainties/errors,
+ Understand and document the sources of uncertainty/error, and
+ Quantify the amounts of uncertainty/error."
The aim of this group is to have these values available to compute
reliable statistics. The implementation of this group is mandatory,
whether the time synchronization is automatic or not.
4.2.2 The ippmOwners Group
This group identifies an owner, or group of owners that have access
to measurements on a probe.
4.2.3 The ippmMeasure Group
This group contains all the IPPM metrics that are registered and
available for use by the agent.
The measurement entity describes in the ippmMetricsTable of the SNMP
agent the local implementation of the standardized metrics. All
standardized metrics should be displayed in this table, with the
ippmMetricCapabilities object defining whether the metric is
implemented or not.
4.2.4 The ippmHistory Group
The results of any given measure are stored in the ippmHistoryTable.
The indexing is such that there is an entry in this table for each
result of a given measure for a given metric.
4.2.5 The ippmNetMeasure Group
The control protocol registers a description of the existing network
measures in the ippmNetMeasureTable.
This group displays the network measures defined by the control
protocol. The results are saved in the ippmHistoryTable.
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 9]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
ippmNetMeasureTable is a reflection of the configuration of the
network measure.
4.2.6 The ippmAggrMeasure Group
ippmAggrMeasureTable is responsible for the consolidation, or
aggregation, of results previously measured and saved in the
ippmHistoryTable. The aggregated results are saved in the
ippmHistoryTable and may be used for higher aggregated measures.
4.2.7 The Report Group
This group displays the existing reports of the measures collected.
The ippmReportSetupTable is responsible for the configuration of the
reports.
The reports are saved in the ippmReportTable, or sent directly to the
applications.
4.2.8 The Notification Group
The Notification group specifies a list of valid notifications. They
are used to generate alarms,or reports, to the applications.
4.3 Row identification in an application namespace
The control protocol, or the test protocol, adds rows in the
namespace of the corresponding measure.
An object instance identifier in an owner namespace is defined as a
list of objects in the clause INDEX where the first object type is
IppmOwnerString.
As the OBJECT IDENTIFIER, which identifies the instance, begins with
the owner value, the remaining values of the index fields may be
chosen independently from one namespace to another.
This allows the user to choose arbitrary values for the remaining
fields of the INDEX clause without checking that the values of these
fields exists in the MIB tables. This allows the owner to use the
same values across MIB implementations.
Thus, it avoids polling to determine the next free index. Also, as a
consequence, two applications will never find the same free index
value.
The usage of owner namespace increases the speed of the management
operations while reducing bandwidth consumption and CPU load in the
agents and applications.
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 10]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
Measurements are requested by management applications. An instance of
an object managed by a management station is identified by the
management station IppmOwnerString and the private index provided by
the MS.
As the MS manages its private range of indices, it simply chooses one
when it wishes to create a new control entry. For the same reason,
the setup of a measure on several points of measures consists of
simply sending the same copy of the measure setup to the different
points of measures involved.
4.4 Relationship of IPPM REPORTING MIB tables
There is inherently a relationship between various tables in the IPPM
REPORTING MIB, and as such, the data integrity must be assured. This
relationship is depicted in the following examples.
4.4.1 Relationship between the Owners Table and the aggregated
measure table
The owners table contains the list of "owners" that can create and
activate remotely aggregated measures in an IPPM agent or read the
existing network measures.
It is recommended to make use of "view based access control" in order
to restrict access to this table. For example, the master user
"administrator" may be given "write" privileges on the
ippmOwnersTable, whereas all others are restricted to "read" access.
The user "administrator" can then setup the list of other users that
have access to measures.
There must be at least 1 owner in the owners' table. This owner may
be either setup by default by the IPPM agent, or configured as stated
above.
An owner may have multiple corresponding entries in the network and
aggregated measure tables. Each entry in the measure table is
associated with one, and only one, entry in the owners' table. That
is to say, that a defined measure may NOT have multiple owners.
Thus, we have a 1:N relationship between the owners' table and a
measure table.
4.4.2 Relationship between the Network Measure Table and the
Aggregated Measure Table
The network measure table is read-only, thus entries in this table
must be populated by the agent upon startup.
The agent could potentially read a database that contains network
measures configured by a 3rd party proprietary management system that
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 11]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
directly interacts with the points of measure. However, the "owner"
of the measure be defined in the owners table.
The aggregated measure table allows for an "owner" to create
aggregated measures (such as average, minimum, maximum) on existing
measures. An owner may even create aggregated measures on network
measures that are owned by other owners. However, it is recommended
to use view based access control to grant access of network measures
to owners in the system.
5 Measurement architectures
There are three main measurement architectures.
5.1 Proxy architecture
. +----+ +----+
. |NMS1| |NMS2|
. +----+ +----+
. ^ ^
. | |
. +----------+ +----------+
. | |
. SNMP or Sibling

. | |
. +----------+ +----------+
. | |
. v v
.+----------------+ +------------------+
.| Packets-Sender |--OWDP-Test-->| Packets-Receiver |
.+----------------+ +------------------+
In this architecture, the different NMSĆs query the IPPM-REPORTING-
MIB agent for measurements. The agent controls whether the NMS is
granted access to perform the measure requested. Each NMS accesses
the results of its measurements in the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB statistics
table.
The measurement setup/teardown and the data collection are done using
the control protocol and the test protocol.
In this mode the NMS does not depend on the control protocol nor on
the test protocol. The entities involved in the measurement do not
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 12]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
need to implement the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB nor SNMP. This mode allows
for lightweight implementation in the point of measure, and also for
heterogeneous control protocols to coexist.
Finally, the proxy is a checkpoint where measurement activity may be
logged, and where access to measurement setups may be tightly
controlled. Thus, it provides a reliable architecture to manage the
security of a measurement system.
5.2 Reporting architecture
In this architecture the SNMP protocol is only used to read the
results of the measurements in the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB History Table,
and also to inform the NMS that an event has occurred.

. +------------------+ +------------------+
The activation of a measure by the control protocol or the test
protocol creates a measure in the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB Network Measure
table. The table in question may be not accessible by SNMP. In this
case, a list of the measure identifiers (owner, index) is handled by
the measurement software.
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 13]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
Each timestamped result of the measure is logged in the IPPM-
REPORTING-MIB History table in order to allow read access to the
NMSĆs and event handling.
On completion, the measurement results are managed according to the
measure setup:
+ The results may be sent to an NMS;
+ They may be dropped from the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB History table.
In this mode, it is recommended to use an SNMPv2 Inform PDU to send
reporting events because it ensures that the entire block of the
result is received. There is no control using SNMP Trap PDU.

5.3 Gateway architecture
The gateway architecture combines the proxy mode and the reporting
mode.

. +-------------+---------+ +--------+-------------+
The NMS measurement queries are registered in the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB
gateway and performed by the control and the test protocol. The NMS
directly consults the result in the corresponding IPPM REPORTING MIB
agent of the points of measure.
5.4 Security
The proxy mode provides flexibility and control of the access to the
points of measure, while allowing lightweight control protocol and
test protocol implementations in the points of measure. Different
security rules may be applied to the NMS domain and to measurement
system domains.
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 15]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
The reporting mode has 2 security domains:
+ The control of the measurement setups relies on the control
and the test protocol security mechanisms;
+ The control of access to the results depends on the SNMP
security mechanisms such as community strings, but may also be
restricted using VACM for customized access.
The gateway mode security relies on the security of the proxy mode
and of the reporting mode.
6 Reporting mode integration
The IPPM-REPORTING-MIB standardizes the parameters that:
+ Define the configuration of the IPPM metrics measures;
+ Define the format of the results of the measure;
+ Define the report of the IPPM metric measures results.
It introduces the concept of owner namespace to allow for fast
configuration and reporting across multiple points of measurement.
A measure is a distributed object describing a task to be performed
by the control and the test protocols. A measure is identified by its
owner and its owner index. This identifier is the same in all the
points of measure. As the owner chooses the index, there is no need
for negotiation between the NMS and the points of measure before
activating the measure.
A measure is primarily defined by its identifier, the metrics to
measure, the description of the end point addresses and the
description of the scheduling of the measure.
The description of the measure is distributed to the points of
measure involved. The distribution may not be synchronized.
6.1 Integration
The integration of the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB, and the test and control
protocols consists in pushing the network measure setup/teardown
parameters and the result values from the measurement software to the
IPPM-REPORTING-MIB agent.
6.2 Setup of the measure network
The measurement system updates the MIB on creation of a network
measure.
6.3 Setup of a measurement report
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 16]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
A measurement report setup describes events and data to include in
the report. A report is read by an NMS in the ippmReportTable, or
pushed to a NMS using a SNMP Inform PDU, an email, or a SMS.
Different types of reports may be combined:
+ A trivial report defines the results to be saved in the
ippmReportTable;
+ A basic report defines the host to which the results are pushed
on completion of the measure;
+ An alarm report defines a threshold on the results of the
measure. A message is sent to a host when the result rises above,
or falls below the threshold;
+ An SLA report defines a threshold on the results of the
measure. The report consists of the results of the measure (time
and value) of the filtered events. The reports are sent at each
measurement cycle, or when the measure completes.
6.4 Updating the history of the MIB
Results have to be written by the measurement task in the agent
implementing the IPPM REPORTING MIB.
Adding the results of a measurement consists in the transfer of the
result from the measurement software to the SNMP agent. The protocol
that provides the result may be the control protocol, or the test
protocol.
6.5 Report download and upload
A report is read in the ippmReportTable using SNMP, or pushed by the
IPPM_MIB agent using a SNMP Inform PDU, an email or a SMS.
6.6 Default value
The default values correspond to IP version 4.

IppmStandardMetrics ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
" Each standard metric is identified in the IPPM-METRICS-
REGISTRY under the node rfc in chronological order. In order to
allow for
several metrics to be calculated in a single measure, there is an
need
to describe in a bit string the metrics to be measured.
This textual convention defines an octet string that gathers in a
bit string a sequence of bits. The bit order corresponds to the
order
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 19]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
of the metric identifiers in the registry.
The first bit of the string has the index 0. The index 1
corresponds to the first metric of the registry
(instantaneousUnidirectionalConnectivity ).
Example:
One-way-Delay(6) is identified as the leaf number 6 of the node
rfc of the
registry. One-way-Packet-Loss(12) is identified as the leaf
number 12 of the node
rfc of the registry. A network measure performing both One-way-
Delay(6) and One-
way-Packet-Loss(12) will be described as '0001000001000000'b,
'1040'B.

* the value is in network-byte order
The timestamp format is directly inspired from the NTP timestamp
format.
It differs because it counts the second since 1 Jan 2000 0H00
instead of 1 Jan 1900 0H00. The most significant bit of the part
that represents the second is reserved. It will wrap in year 2068
(The NTP timestamp will wrap in year 2036).
This bit is set to indicate if the fractional part of the second
contains a precision field and a synchronization field as
initially proposed in the OWAMP draft.
When this bit is not set the resolution is maximal.
The maximal resolution is close to 250 picoseconds.
The precision of the timestamp must be provided in another field.

TypeP ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This textual convention is a display string used to describe the
protocol encapsulation list of a packet, and is used as the value
of the SYNTAX clause for the type of the Src and Dst of an IPPM
measure. The RFC2895 specifies a macro named PROTOCOL-IDENTIFIER
for the definition of protocol identifiers, while its companion
document, the RFC2896 defines a set of protocol identifiers.
TypeP is defined as a display string. It consists of a list of
dot separated protocol names. Each protocol name has been
previously defined using the macro PROTOCOL-IDENTIFIER of the RFC
2895.
Examples:
The RFC2896 defines the protocol identifiers 'ether2', 'ip',
'ipip4', 'udp', 'tcp', 'telnet'...
The TypeP of the source address corresponding to telnet is the
string 'ip.tcp.telnet'.
The TypeP of the source address corresponding to UDP packets sent
in an IP tunnel is the string 'ip.ipip4.udp'.
Note:
An IPPM measure is active, so generally a TypeP value does not
describe the link layer (i.e. ether2...). Valid Internet packets
are sent from Src to Dst. Then the choice of the link layer
relies on the Internet stack."

DESCRIPTION
"This textual convention is a Display string used to describe the

basically the address.
TypePaddress is defined as a display string. It consists in a
list of space separated parameter list. Each parameter in the
list corresponds to a parameter of a PROTOCOL-IDENTIFIER of the
TypeP.
Example:
The TypeP 'ip.ipip4' has 2 parameters. A valid TypePaddress value
is '192.168.1.1 128.2.6.7'."

IppmReportDefinition ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
" A report definition is a list of statements describing a report. A
statement is part of this process if its bit in the definition is set
to '1'. For all bit values that are set to one, a report will be
generated.
The report process uses results saved in the history table. Threshold
values are provided by the report setup.
Given that not all results from a metric measurement are
pertinent to a particular report, and that the size of the report
must be limited whenever possible, the guidelines for the definition
of a report are as follows:
+ Select the events for consideration (1);
+ Configure filters to select pertinent values (2);
+ Describe the way the report is delivered (3);
+ Describe clean up actions to perform on report completion (4);
-1- events
Events determine when a report is processed. Events are
exclusive. The possible values are:
onSingleton:
The report is processed each time a new result of the measurement
occurs.
onMeasureCycle:
The report is processed each time a cycle of measure is
completed.
onMeasureCompletion:
The report is processed at the end of the measurement.
-2- filters
Filters determine if a result belongs to a report.
ReportInBandResults and ReportOutBandResults are exclusive. The
usage of ReportInBandResults and ReportOutBandResults exclude the
usage of ReportAboveResults and ReportBelowResults.
Possible values are:
reportUpAndDownResults:
Report contiguous results that are on opposite sides of
the up and down metric threshold.
ReportInBandResults:
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 22]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
Report results lower than the high metric threshold
field of the report setup and greater than the low
metric threshold field of the report setup.
ReportOutBandResults:
Report results greater than the high metric threshold
field of the report setup and lower than the low metric
threshold field of the report setup.
ReportAboveResults:
Report results greater than the high metric threshold
field of the report setup.
ReportBelowResults:
Report results lower than the low metric threshold field
of the report setup.
reportExceededEventsDuration:
Save the results of the metric only if the current
filter triggers repeatedly for a series of contiguous
results during more than
ippmReportSetupDurationThreshold seconds.
-3- deliver
Even though report delivery statements are not exclusive, care
should be taken to limit the number of report methods to 2. The
delivery methods are:
inIppmReportTable:
Store the report in the local ippmReportTable.
NOTE WELL: Results are not stored in the report table if
this flag is not set.
inSNMPv2TrapPDU:
Send the report using a SNMPv2-Trap-PDU.
inInformRequestPDU:
Send the report using a SNMP InformRequest-PDU.
inEmail:
Send the report using an email.
inSMS:
Send the report using a SMS.
-4- Cleanup
onReportDeliveryClearReport(12):
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 23]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
Remove all the results corresponding to this measure
from the ippmReportTable when the report has been

Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
The format of a report sent to a NMS is described in a
notification defined in the ippmNotifications node.
The event and the filter selected in the report definition
determines the notification to refer:
+ Up and Down filter report format is ippmUpAndDownReport;
+ Inband filter report format is ippmInBandReport;
+ Outband filter report format is ippmOutBandReport;
+ Above filter report format is ippmAboveReport;
+ Below filter report format is ippmBelowReport;
+ Any filter and reportExceededEventsDuration report format is
ippmEventsDurationExceededReport;
+ Any filter and the event onMeasureCompletion report format is
ippmCompletedMeasureReport;
Example 1:
Consider a report definition, which reports on the fly, up and
down result events of a metric measure:
ippmReportSetupDefinition {
onSingleton,
reportUpAndDownMetricResults,
inSNMPv2TrapPDU
}
The value of the threshold is given by
ippmReportSetupUpDownThreshold. It has the value '5' in this
example.
Being a flow of results { 3.3 3.2 3.2 5.1 5.3 5.6 6.3 5.2 4.0 3.8
...}, the report process will send 2 traps:
+ The first one carries the results 3.2 and 5.1
corresponding to a down to up event;
+ The second one carries the results 5.2 and 4.0 of the
up to down event
UpAndDown
Example 2:
Consider the report definition, which reports per measure cycle
in a SNMP informRequestPDU, up and down results events of a
metric measure:
:
ippmReportSetupDefinition {
onMeasureCycle,
reportUpAndDownMetricResults,
inInformRequestPDU,
onReportDeliveryClearReport
}
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 56]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
The value of the threshold is given by
ippmReportSetupUpDownThreshold. It has the value '5' in this
example.
The cycle of measure of the measure setup is set to 10 results.
Being a flow of 10 results { 3.3 3.2 3.2 5.1 5.3 5.6 6.3 5.2 4.0
3.8 ... }, the report process will send one InformRequestPDU that
carries the couples (3.2, 5.1) and (5.2 ,4.0) corresponding to
the first down to up event and to the second up to down event,
respectively.

8 Security Considerations
8.1 VACM Access control
Stephan/Jewitt Informational - Expires December 2003 [Page 71]
Internet Draft IPPM reporting MIB June 2003
View Based Access Control, or VACM may be used to restrict access to
certain objects, or even object instances within tables. For example,
one may:
+ Give an 'administrator' write access to the ippmOwnersTable,
whereas all other users may only have read access
+ Give access to individual rows in the network measure, aggregated
measure, history, and report table to particular owners based upon
indexing on an 'owners name', and even upon a particular measure.
This will be illustrated below.
+ Give access of one ownerĆs measure, and associated results, to
another owner in order to create an aggregated measure based upon the
results.
8.1.1 Example of implementing VACM control for the IPPM-REPORTING-MIB
The following example illustrates how one could use VACM to restrict
access to particular objects within the MIB. It uses syntax specific
to a particular agent development toolkit, but may be generalized
using the concepts as defined in the VACM MIB.
In this example, we have two NMS users, namely user1=owner1 and
user2=owner2:
1) First we define the two users and their host addresses:
com2sec owner1 owner1computer@ private
com2sec owner2 owner2computer@ private
2) We then define SNMPv2c groups
group owner1 v2c owner1
group owner2 v2c owner2
view notif included ippmNotifications ff
3.1) For the user owner1, we now define the views for which he will
have read access
# covers PointOfMeasureTable SynchronizationTable and all scalars

access

3.5) Now we give the two users access to the views defined above.
Note that owner1 and owner2 have read access to owner1read and
owner2read views respectively. They have write access to owner1write
and owner2write view respectively. And they both have access to all
the notifications.

8.2 Privacy
The privacy concerns of network measurement are intrinsically limited
by the active measurements. Unlike passive measurements, there can be
no release of existing user data.
8.3 Measurement aspects
Conducting Internet measurements raises both security and privacy
concerns. This memo does not specify an implementation of the
metrics, so it does not directly affect the security of the Internet
nor of applications that run on the Internet. However,
implementations of these metrics must be mindful of security and
privacy concerns.
There are two types of security concerns: potential harm caused by
the measurements, and potential harm to the measurements. The
measurements could cause harm because they are active, and inject
packets into the network. The measurement parameters MUST be
carefully selected so that the measurements inject trivial amounts of
additional traffic into the networks they measure. If they inject
"too much" traffic, they can skew the results of the measurement, and
in extreme cases cause congestion and denial of service.
The measurements themselves could be harmed by routers giving
measurement traffic a different priority than "normal" traffic, or by
an attacker injecting artificial measurement traffic. If routers can
recognize measurement traffic and treat it separately, the
measurements will not reflect actual user traffic. If an attacker
injects artificial traffic that is accepted as legitimate, the loss
rate will be artificially lowered. Therefore, the measurement
methodologies SHOULD include appropriate techniques to reduce the
probability measurement traffic can be distinguished from "normal"
traffic.
Authentication techniques, such as digital signatures, may be used
where appropriate to guard against injected traffic attacks.

8.4 Management aspects
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-only. 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.
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 implementors consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [18] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [21] is recommended.
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.
