Abstract

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing remote network monitoring devices.

Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Sta-

The Network Management Framework

The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are:

RFC 1902 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

RFC 1213, STD 17, [3] which defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.

RFC 1905 [4] which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network access to managed objects.

The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Within a given MIB module, objects are defined using the SMI's OBJECT-TYPE macro. At a minimum, each object has a name, a syntax, an access-level, and an implementation-status.

The name is an object identifier, an administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type. 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 object descriptor, to also refer to the object type.

The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 [6] language is used for this purpose. However, RFC 1902 purposely restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made for simplicity.

The access-level of an object type defines whether it makes "protocol sense" to read and/or write the value of an instance of the object type. (This access-level is independent of any administrative authorization policy.)

The implementation-status of an object type indicates whether the object is mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated.

Overview

This document continues the architecture created in the RMON MIB [RFC 1757] by providing a major feature upgrade, primarily by providing RMON analysis up to the application layer.

Remote network monitoring devices, often called monitors or probes, are instruments that exist for the purpose of managing a network. Often these remote probes are stand-alone devices and devote significant internal resources for the sole purpose of managing a network. An organization may employ many of these devices, one per network segment, to manage its internet. In addition, these devices may be used for a network management service provider to access a client network, often geographically remote.

The objects defined in this document are intended as an interface between an RMON agent and an RMON management application and are not intended for direct manipulation by humans. While some users may tolerate the direct display of some of these objects, few will tolerate the complexity of manually manipulating objects to accomplish row creation. These functions should be handled by the management application.

Remote Network Management Goals

o Offline Operation
    There are sometimes conditions when a management
    station will not be in constant contact with its
    remote monitoring devices.  This is sometimes by
    design in an attempt to lower communications costs
    (especially when communicating over a WAN or
    dialup link), or by accident as network failures
    affect the communications between the management
    station and the probe.
    For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be
    configured to perform diagnostics and to collect
    statistics continuously, even when communication with
    the management station may not be possible or
    efficient.  The probe may then attempt to notify
    the management station when an exceptional condition
    occurs.  Thus, even in circumstances where
    communication between management station and probe is
    not continuous, fault, performance, and configuration
    information may be continuously accumulated and
    communicated to the management station conveniently
    and efficiently.
o Proactive Monitoring
    Given the resources available on the monitor, it
    is potentially helpful for it continuously to run
    diagnostics and to log network performance.  The
    monitor is always available at the onset of any
    failure.  It can notify the management station of the
    failure and can store historical statistical
    information about the failure.  This historical
    information can be played back by the management
    station in an attempt to perform further diagnosis
    into the cause of the problem.
o Problem Detection and Reporting
    The monitor can be configured to recognize
    conditions, most notably error conditions, and
    continuously to check for them.  When one of these
    conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and
    management stations may be notified in a number of
    ways.
o Value Added Data
    Because a remote monitoring device represents a
    network resource dedicated exclusively to network
    management functions, and because it is located
    directly on the monitored portion of the network, the
    remote network monitoring device has the opportunity
    to add significant value to the data it collects.
    For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the
    network that generate the most traffic or errors, the
    probe can give the management station precisely the
    information it needs to solve a class of problems.
o Multiple Managers
    An organization may have multiple management stations
    for different units of the organization, for different
    functions (e.g. engineering and operations), and in an
    attempt to provide disaster recovery.  Because
    environments with multiple management stations are
    common, the remote network monitoring device has to
    deal with more than own management station,
    potentially using its resources concurrently.

Structure of MIB

The objects are arranged into the following groups:

    - protocol directory
    - protocol distribution
    - address mapping
    - network layer host
    - network layer matrix
    - application layer host
    - application layer matrix
    - user history
    - probe configuration

These groups are the basic units of conformance. If a remote monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement all objects in that group. For example, a managed agent that implements the network layer matrix group must implement the nlMatrixSDTable and the nlMatrixDSTable.

Implementations of this MIB must also implement the system and interfaces group of MIB-II [3]. MIB-II may also mandate the implementation of additional groups.

These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning object identifiers, and to provide a method for managed agents to know which objects they must implement.

This document also contains enhancements to tables defined in the RMON MIB [[[RFC1757|RFC 1757]]]. These enhancements include:

1) Adding the DroppedFrames and LastCreateTime
   conventions to each table defined in the RMON MIB.
2) Augmenting the RMON filter table with a mechanism
   that allows filtering based on an offset from the
   beginning of a particular protocol, even if the
   protocol headers are variable length.
3) Augmenting the RMON filter and capture status bits
   with additional bits for WAN media and generic media.
   These bits are defined here as:
    Bit     Definition
    6       For WAN media, this bit is set for packets
            coming from one direction and cleared for
            packets coming from the other direction.
            It is an implementation specific matter
            as to which bit is assigned to which
            direction, but it must be consistent for
            all packets received by the agent, and if
            the agent knows which end of the link is
            "local" and which end is "network", the bit
            should be set for packets from the "local"
            side and should be cleared for packets from
            the "network" side.
    7       For any media, this bit is set for any packet
            with a physical layer error. This bit may be
            set in addition to other media-specific bits
            that denote the same condition.
    8       For any media, this bit is set for any packet
            that is too short for the media. This bit may
            be set in addition to other media-specific
            bits that denote the same condition.
    9       For any media, this bit is set for any packet
            that is too long for the media. This bit may
            be set in addition to other media-specific bits
            that denote the same condition.

These enhancements are implemented by RMON-2 probes that also implement RMON and do not add any requirements to probes that are compliant to just RMON.

Control of Remote Network Monitoring Devices

Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these devices, the functions often need user configuration. In many cases, the function requires parameters to be set up for a data collection operation. The operation can proceed only after these parameters are fully set up.

Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in which to set up control parameters, and one or more data tables in which to place the results of the operation. The control tables are typically read/write in nature, while the data tables are typically read/only.

Because the parameters in the control table often describe resulting data in the data table, many of the parameters can be modified only when the control entry is not active. Thus, the method for modifying these parameters is to de-activate the entry, perform the SNMP Set operations to modify the entry, and then re-activate the entry. Deleting the control entry causes the deletion of any associated data entries, which also gives a convenient method for reclaiming the resources used by the associated data.

Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an action on the remote monitoring device. These objects may execute an action as a result of a change in the state of the object. For those objects in this MIB, a request to set an object to the same value as it currently holds would thus cause no action to occur.

To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to be shared among the managers. These resources are typically the memory and computation resources that a function requires.

Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Stations

When multiple management stations wish to use functions that compete for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method to facilitate this sharing of resources is required. Potential conflicts include:

o Two management stations wish to simultaneously use
  resources that together would exceed the capability of
  the device.
o A management station uses a significant amount of
  resources for a long period of time.
o A management station uses resources and then crashes,
  forgetting to free the resources so others may
  use them.

The OwnerString mechanism is provided for each management station initiated function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help resolve them when they occur. Each function has a label identifying the initiator (owner) of the function. This label is set by the initiator to provide for the following possibilities:

o A management station may recognize resources it owns
  and no longer needs.
o A network operator can find the management station that
  owns the resource and negotiate for it to be freed.
o A network operator may decide to unilaterally free
  resources another network operator has reserved.
o Upon initialization, a management station may recognize
  resources it had reserved in the past.  With this
  information it may free the resources if it no longer
  needs them.

Management stations and probes should support any format of the owner string dictated by the local policy of the organization. It is suggested that this name contain one or more of the following: IP address, management station name, network manager's name, location, or phone number. This information will help users to share the resources more effectively.

There is often default functionality that the device or the administrator of the probe (often the network administrator) wishes to set up. The resources associated with this functionality are then owned by the device itself or by the network administrator, and are intended to be long-lived. In this case, the device or the administrator will set the relevant owner object to a string starting with 'monitor'. Indiscriminate modification of the monitor-owned configuration by network management stations is discouraged. In fact, a network management station should only modify these objects under the direction of the administrator of the probe.

Resources on a probe are scarce and are typically allocated when control rows are created by an application. Since many applications may be using a probe simultaneously, indiscriminate allocation of resources to particular applications is very likely to cause resource shortages in the probe.

When a network management station wishes to utilize a function in a monitor, it is encouraged to first scan the control table of that function to find an instance with similar parameters to share. This is especially true for those instances owned by the monitor, which can be assumed to change infrequently. If a management station decides to share an instance owned by another management station, it should understand that the management station that owns the instance may indiscriminately modify or delete it.

It should be noted that a management application should have the most trust in a monitor-owned row because it should be changed very infrequently. A row owned by the management application is less long-lived because a network administrator is more likely to re- assign resources from a row that is in use by one user than from a monitor-owned row that is potentially in use by many users. A row owned by another application would be even less long-lived because the other application may delete or modify that row completely at its discretion.

Row Addition Among Multiple Management Stations

The addition of new rows is achieved using the RowStatus method described in RFC 1903 [2]. In this MIB, rows are often added to a table in order to configure a function. This configuration usually involves parameters that control the operation of the function. The agent must check these parameters to make sure they are appropriate given restrictions defined in this MIB as well as any implementation specific restrictions such as lack of resources. The agent implementor may be confused as to when to check these parameters and when to signal to the management station that the parameters are invalid. There are two opportunities:

o When the management station sets each parameter object.
o When the management station sets the row status object
  to active.

If the latter is chosen, it would be unclear to the management station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused the badValue error to be emitted. Thus, wherever possible, the implementor should choose the former as it will provide more information to the management station.

A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt to set configuration information simultaneously using SNMP. When this involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the same control table, the managers may collide, attempting to create the same entry. To guard against these collisions, each such control entry contains a status object with special semantics that help to arbitrate among the managers. If an attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to create such a status object and that object already exists, an error is returned. When more than one manager simultaneously attempts to create the same conceptual row, only the first will succeed. The others will receive an error.

In the RMON MIB [[[RFC1757|RFC 1757]]], the EntryStatus textual convention was introduced to provide this mutual exclusion function. Since then, this function was added to the SNMP framework as the RowStatus textual convention. The RowStatus textual convention is used for the definition of all new tables.

When a manager wishes to create a new control entry, it needs to choose an index for that row. It may choose this index in a variety of ways, hopefully minimizing the chances that the index is in use by another manager. If the index is in use, the mechanism mentioned previously will guard against collisions. Examples of schemes to choose index values include random selection or scanning the control

table looking for the first unused index. Because index values may be any valid value in the range and they are chosen by the manager, the agent must allow a row to be created with any unused index value if it has the resources to create a new row.

Some tables in this MIB reference other tables within this MIB. When creating or deleting entries in these tables, it is generally allowable for dangling references to exist. There is no defined order for creating or deleting entries in these tables.

Conventions

The following conventions are used throughout the RMON MIB and its companion documents.

Good Packets

Good packets are error-free packets that have a valid frame length. For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free packets that are between 64 octets long and 1518 octets long. They follow the form defined in IEEE 802.3 section 3.2.all.

Bad Packets

Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and are therefore recognized as packets, but contain errors within the packet or have an invalid length. For example, on Ethernet, bad packets have a valid preamble and SFD, but have a bad CRC, or are either shorter than 64 octets or longer than 1518 octets.

RMON 2 Conventions

The following practices and conventions are introduced in the RMON 2 MIB.

Usage of the term Application Level

There are many cases in this MIB where the term Application Level is used to describe a class of protocols or a capability. This does not typically mean a protocol that is an OSI Layer 7 protocol. Rather, it is used to identify a class of protocols that is not limited to MAC-layer and network-layer protocols, but can also include transport, session, presentation, and application-layer protocols.

Protocol Directory and Limited Extensibility

Every RMON 2 implementation will have the capability to parse certain types of packets and identify their protocol type at multiple levels, The protocol directory presents an inventory of those protocol types the probe is capable of monitoring, and allows the addition, deletion, and configuration of protocol types in this list.

One concept deserves special attention: the "limited extensibility" of the protocol directory table. The RMON 2 model is that protocols are detected by static software that has been written at implementation time. Therefore, as a matter of configuration, an implementation does not have the ability to suddenly learn how to parse new packet types. However, an implementation may be written such that the software knows where the demultiplexing field is for a particular protocol, and can be written in such a way that the decoding of the next layer up is table-driven. This works when the code has been written to accomodate it and can be extended no more than one level higher. This extensibility is called "limited extensibility" to highlight these limitations. However, this can be a very useful tool.

For example, suppose that an implementation has C code that understands how to decode IP packets on any of several ethernet encapsulations, and also knows how to interpret the IP protocol field to recognize UDP packets and how to decode the UDP port number fields. That implementation may be table- driven so that among the many different UDP port numbers possible, it is configured to recognize 161 as SNMP, port 53 as DNS, and port 69 as TFTP. The limited extensibility of the protocol directory table would allow an SNMP operation to create an entry that would create an additional table mapping for UDP that would recognize UDP port 123 as NTP and begin counting such packets.

This limited extensibility is an option that an implementation can choose to allow or disallow for any protocol that has child protocols.

Errors in packets

Packets with link-level errors are not counted anywhere in this MIB because most variables in this MIB requires the decoding of the contents of the packet, which is meaningless if there is a link-level error.

Packets in which protocol errors are detected are counted for all protocols below the layer in which the error was encountered. The implication of this is that packets in which errors are detected at

the network-layer are not counted anywhere in this MIB, while packets with errors detected at the transport layer may have network-layer statistics counted.

    zero(0) on creation and will thereafter count appropriate
    events, wrapping back to zero(0) when the value 2^32 is
    reached.
    Provided that an application discovers the new object within
    the minimum time to wrap it can use the initial value as a
    delta since it last polled the table of which this object is
    part.  It is important for a management station to be aware of
    this minimum time and the actual time between polls, and to
    discard data if the actual time is too long or there is no
    defined minimum time.
    Typically this TC is used in tables where the INDEX space is

STATUS        current
DESCRIPTION
    "To be used for the index to a table.  Allows an application
    to download only those rows changed since a particular time.
    A row is considered changed if the value of any object in the
    row changes or if the row is created or deleted.
    When sysUpTime is equal to zero, this table shall be empty.
    One entry exists for each past value of sysUpTime, except that
    the whole table is purged should sysUpTime wrap.
    As this basic row is updated new conceptual rows are created
    (which still share the now updated object values with all
    other instances).  The number of instances which are created
    is determined by the value of sysUpTime at which the basic row
    was last updated.  One instance will exist for each value of
    sysUpTime at the last update time for the row.  A new
    timeMark instance is created for each new sysUpTime value.
    Each new conceptual row will be associated with the timeMark
    instance which was created at the value of sysUpTime with
    which the conceptual row is to be associated.
    By definition all conceptual rows were updated at or after
    time zero and so at least one conceptual row (associated with
    timeMark.0) must exist for each underlying (basic) row.
    See the appendix for further discussion of this variable.
    Consider the following fooTable:
    fooTable ...
    INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIndex }
    FooEntry {
       fooTimeMark  TimeFilter
       fooIndex     INTEGER,
       fooCounts    Counter
    }
    Should there be two basic rows in this table (fooIndex == 1,
    fooIndex == 2) and row 1 was updated most recently at time 6,
    while row 2 was updated most recently at time 8, and both rows
    had been updated on several earlier occasions such that the
    current values were 5 and 9 respectively then the following
    fooCounts instances would exist.
    fooCounts.0.1  5
    fooCounts.0.2  9
    fooCounts.1.1  5

    entries in here for those protocols it chooses to collect.  In
    other words, it need not populate this table with all of the
    possible ethernet protocol types, nor need it create them on
    the fly when it sees them.  Whether or not it does these
    things is a matter of product definition (cost/benefit,
    usability), and is up to the designer of the product.
    If an entry is written to this table with a protocolDirID that
    the agent doesn't understand, either directly or
    algorithmically, the SET request will be rejected with an
    inconsistentName or badValue (for SNMPv1) error."

MAX-ACCESS  read-only
STATUS      current
DESCRIPTION
    "This object describes 2 attributes of this protocol
     directory entry.
     The presence or absence of the `extensible' bit describes
     whether or not this protocol directory entry can be extended
     by the user by creating protocol directory entries which are
     children of this protocol.
     An example of an entry that will often allow extensibility is
     `ip.udp'.  The probe may automatically populate some children
     of this node such as `ip.udp.snmp' and `ip.udp.dns'.
     A probe administrator or user may also populate additional
     children via remote SNMP requests that create entries in this
     table.  When a child node is added for a protocol for which the
     probe has no built in support, extending a parent node (for
     which the probe does have built in support),
     that child node is not extendible.  This is termed `limited
     extensibility'.
     When a child node is added through this extensibility
     mechanism, the values of protocolDirLocalIndex and
     protocolDirType shall be assigned by the agent.
     The other objects in the entry will be assigned by the
     manager who is creating the new entry.
     This object also describes whether or not this agent can
     recognize addresses for this protocol, should it be a network
     level protocol.  That is, while a probe may be able to
     recognize packets of a particular network layer protocol and
     count them, it takes additional logic to be able to recognize
     the addresses in this protocol and to populate network layer
     or application layer tables with the addresses in this
     protocol.  If this bit is set, the agent will recognize
     network layer addresses for this protoocl and populate the
     network and application layer host and matrix tables with
     these protocols.
     Note that when an entry is created, the agent will supply
     values for the bits that match the capabilities of the agent
     with respect to this protocol.  Note that since row creations
     usually exercise the limited extensibility feature, these
     bits will usually be set to zero."

    of the protocolDirTable does not extend to interpreting

    protocol.  Note that if the alHostTable is implemented, the
    probe may only support a protocol if it is supported in both
    the nlHostTable and the alHostTable.
    If the associated protocolDirType object has the
    addressRecognitionCapable bit set, then this is a network

    Whenever this value changes from supportedOn(3) to

    For example, if an entry were to receive data from

-- -- User History Collection Group (usrHistory) -- -- The usrHistory group combines mechanisms seen in the alarm and -- history groups to provide user-specified history collection, -- utilizing two additional control tables and one additional data -- table.

The usrHistory group allows -- this task to be offloaded to an RMON probe. -- -- Data (an ASN.1 INTEGER based object) is collected in the same -- manner as any history data table (e.g. etherHistoryTable) except -- that the user specifies the MIB instances to be collected. Objects -- are collected in bucket-groups, with the intent that all MIB -- instances in the same bucket-group are collected as atomically as -- possible by the RMON probe. -- -- The usrHistoryControlTable is a one-dimensional read-create table. -- Each row configures a collection of user history buckets, much -- the same as a historyControlEntry, except that the creation of a -- row in this table will cause one or more associated instances in -- the usrHistoryObjectTable to be created. The user specifies the -- number of bucket elements (rows in the usrHistoryObjectTable) -- requested, as well as the number of buckets requested. -- -- The usrHistoryObjectTable is a 2-d read-write table. -- Each row configures a single MIB instance to be collected. -- All rows with the same major index constitute a bucket-group. -- -- The usrHistoryTable is a 3-d read-only table containing -- the data of associated usrHistoryControlEntries.

This allows numbers from -(2G-1) to +4G to be -- stored. The status object also indicates whether a sample is -- valid.

DESCRIPTION
    "This data type is used to communicate with a modem or a

    commands to control how the device will interact with the
    remote device through the serial interface.  Commands are
    represented as two character sequences beginning with
    the `^' character.
    The following commands are recognized by the device (note
    that command characters are case sensitive):
       ^s  Send string that follows which is terminated by the
           next command or the end of string.
       ^c  Delay for the number of seconds that follows.  Toss
           out any data received rather than storing it in a
           buffer for parsing.
       ^t  Set timeout to the value represented by the decimal
           digits that follow.  The default timeout is 20
           seconds. Note that this timeout may be overridden
           by a smaller serialTimeout configured for the
           associated serial interface (see serialConfigTable).
       ^w  Wait for the reply string that follows which is
           terminated by the next command or the end of string.
           Partial and case insensitive matching is applied, ie.
           if the reply string (any case combination) is found
           anywhere in the received string, then the a match is
           found.  If the current timeout elapses without a match,
           then the remaining control string is ignored.
       ^!  The ^ character.
       ^d  Delay the number of seconds specified by the decimal
           digits that follow.
       ^b  Send break for the number of milliseconds specified by
           the decimal digits that follow.  If no digits follow,
           break will be enforced for 250 milliseconds by default.
    The following ASCII control characters may be inserted into
    the `^s' send string or the `^w' reply string:
       ^@    0x00
       ^A    0x01
        ..
       ^M    0x0D
        ..
       ^Z    0x1A
       ^[    0x1B
       ^    0x1C
       ^]    0x1D
       ^^    0x1E
       ^_    0x1F
    Binary data may also be inserted into the data stream.  The
    control sequence for each byte of binary data is ^0x##, where
    ## is the hexadecimal representation of the data byte.  Two
    ASCII characters (0-9, a-f, A-F) must follow the `^0x'
    control prefix.  For example, `^0x0D^0x0A' is interpreted as a
    carriage return followed by a line feed."

Security Considerations

In order to implement this MIB, a probe must capture all packets on the locally-attached network, including packets between third parties. These packets are analyzed to collect network addresses, protocol usage information, and conversation statistics. Data of this nature may be considered sensitive in some environments. In such environments the administrator may wish to restrict SNMP access to the probe.

A probe implementing this MIB is likely to also implement RMON RFC1757, which includes functions for returning the contents of captured packets, potentially including sensitive user data or passwords. It is recommended that SNMP access to these functions be restricted.

Appendix - TimeFilter Implementation Notes

1) Theory of Operation

The TimeFilter mechanism allows an NMS to reduce the number of SNMP transactions required for a 'table-update' operation. Polling of tables that incorporate a 'TimeFilter' INDEX can be reduced to a theoretical minimum (if used correctly). It can be easily implemented by an agent in a way independent of the number of NMS applications using the same time-filtered table.

Although the name 'TimeFilter' may imply that a history of change events is maintained by the agent, this is not the case. A time- filtered-value represents the current value of the object instance, not the 'saved' value at the time indicated by the TimeFilter INDEX value. Note that TimeFilter objects only appear in INDEX clauses (always not-accessible), so their value is never retrieved. By design, the actual value of a TimeFilter instance is not in itself meaningful (it's not a 'last-change-timestamp').

The TimeFilter is a boolean filtering function applied in internal Get* PDU processing. If the 'last-change-time' of the specified instance is less than the particular TimeFilter INDEX value, then the instance is considered 'not-present' (skipped for GetNext and GetBulk PDUs; 'noSuchInstance' or returned to the requester.

1.1) Agent Implementation of a Time-Filtered Table

In implementation, the time-filtered rows (one for each tick of sysUpTime) are only conceptual. The agent simply filters a real table based on:

   * the current value of sysUpTime
   * the TimeFilter value passed in the varbind
   * the last-update timestamp of each requested counter
     (agent implementation requirement)

For example, to implement a time-filtered counter, an agent maintains a timestamp in a 32-bit storage location, initialized to zero. This is in addition to whatever instrumentation is needed for the counter.

Each time the counter is updated, the current value of sysUpTime is recorded in the associated timestamp. If this is not possible or practical, then a background polling process must 'refresh' the timestamp by sampling counter values and comparing them to recorded samples. The timestamp update must occur within 5 seconds of the actual change event.

When an agent receives a Get, GetNext, or GetBulk PDU requesting a time-filtered instance, the following agent has determined that the instance is within the MIB view indicated by the community string in the PDU.

   /* return TRUE if the object is present */
   boolean time_filter_test (
       TimeFilter  last_modified_timestamp,
       TimeFilter  index_value_in_pdu )
   {
       if (last_modified_timestamp < index_value_in_pdu)
        return FALSE;
       else
           return TRUE;
   }

The agent applies this function regardless of the lastActivationTime of the conceptual row in question. In other words, counter discontinuities are ignored (i.e. conceptual row deleted and then re-created later). An agent should consider a object instance 'changed' when it is created (either at restart time for scalars and static objects, or row-creation-time for dynamic tables).

Note that using a timeFilter INDEX value of zero removes the filtering functionality, as the instance will always be

1.2) NMS Implementation of a Time-Filtered Table

The particular TimeFilter INDEX values used by an NMS reflect the polling interval of the NMS, relative to the particular agent's notion of sysUpTime.

An NMS needs to maintain one timestamp variable per agent (initialized to zero) for an arbitrary group of time-filtered MIB objects that are gathered together in the same PDU. Each time the Get* PDU is sent, a request for sysUpTime is included. The retrieved sysUpTime value is used as the timeFilter value in the next polling cycle. If a polling sweep of a time-filtered group of objects requires more than one SNMP transaction, then the sysUpTime value retrieved in the first GetResponse PDU of the polling sweep is saved as the next timeFilter value.

The actual last-update time of a given object is not indicated in the returned GetResponse instance identifier, but rather the timeFilter value passed in the Get*Request PDU is returned.

A "time-filtered get-next/bulk-sweep", done once per polling cycle, is a series of GetNext or GetBulk transactions, and is over when one of the following events occurs:

 1) the TimeFilter index value returned in the GetResponse is
    different than the TimeFilter index value passed in the
    GetNext or GetBulk request. Counter values will still be
    returned beyond this point (until the last-change-time is
    reached), but most likely the same values will be

returned.

 2) the return PDU includes instances lexigraphically greater
    than the objects expected (i.e. same GetNext semantics as
    if the TimeFilter wasn't there)
 3) a noSuchName or other exception/error is returned.

Note that the use of a time-filtered table in combination with a GetRequest PDU neutralizes any optimization that otherwise might be achieved with the TimeFilter, because no PDU transactions are saved. Either the current time-filtered object-value is returned, or a 'noSuchInstance' exception (SNMPv1c) or 'noSuchName' error (SNMPv1) is returned.

If GetBulk PDUs are used, then the value selected for response PDUs generated by the agent, since duplicate entries (one per size. An appropriate of conceptual rows in the time-filtered table if known, or equal to the number of instances expected to fit in a GetResponse PDU without causing a 'tooBig' error from the agent.

2) TimeFilter Example

The following example demonstrates how an NMS and Agent might use a table with a TimeFilter object in the INDEX. A static table is assumed to keep the example simple, but dynamic tables can also be supported.

2.1) General Assumptions

fooEntry INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIfIndex } FooEntry = SEQUENCE {

   fooTimeMark    TimeFilter,
   fooIfIndex     Integer32,
   fooCounts      Counter32

}

The NMS polls the fooTable every 15 seconds and the baseline poll occurs when the agent has been up for 6 seconds, and the NMS has been up for 10 seconds.

There are 2 static rows in this table at system initialization (fooCounts.0.1 and fooCounts.0.2).

Row 1 was updated as follows:

   SysUpTime    fooCounts.*.1 value         500

1 900 2

      2300            3

Row 2 was updated as follows:

   SysUpTime    fooCounts.*.2 value
      1100            1
      1400            2

2.2) SNMP Transactions from NMS Perspective

Time nms-1000:

   # NMS baseline poll -- get everything since last agent

restart

   # TimeFilter == 0
   get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
        fooCounts.0);
   returns:
      sysUpTime.0 == 600
      fooCounts.0.1 == 1  # incremented at time 500

fooCounts.0.2 == 0 # visible since created at time 0

Time nms-2500:

   # NMS 1st poll
   # TimeFilter index == 600
   get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
        fooCounts.600);
   returns:
      sysUpTime.0 == 2100
      fooCounts.600.1 == 2   # incremented at time 900
   fooCounts.600.2 == 2   # incremented at times 1100 and

1400

      fooCounts.601.1 == 2   # indicates end of sweep

Time nms-4000:

   # NMS 2nd poll
   # TimeFilter == 2100
   get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
        fooCounts.2100);
   returns:
       sysUpTime.0 == 3600
       fooCounts.2100.1 == 3  # incremented at time 2300
       fooCounts.2102.1 == 3  # indicates end-of-sweep
   # the counter value for row 2 is not returned because
   # it hasn't changed since sysUpTime == 2100.
   # The next timetick value for row 1 is returned instead

Time nms-5500:

   # NMS 3rd poll
   # TimeFilter == 3600
   get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
         fooCounts.3600);
   returns:
       sysUpTime.0 == 5100
       some-instance-outside-the-fooTable == <don't care>
       some-instance-outside-the-fooTable == <don't care>
   # no 'fooTable' counter values at all are returned

because

   # neither counter has been updated since sysUpTime ==

3600

2.3) Transactions and TimeFilter Maintenance: Agent Perspective

Time agt-0:

   # initialize fooTable
   fooCounts.1 = 0; changed.1 = 0;
   fooCounts.2 = 0; changed.2 = 0;

Time agt-500:

   # increment fooCounts.1
   ++fooCounts.1; changed.1 = 500;

Time agt-600

   # answer get-bulk
   #   get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
   #       fooCounts.0);
   # (changed >= 0)
   # return both counters

Time agt-900:

   # increment fooCounts.1
   ++fooCounts.1; changed.1 = 900;

Time agt-1100:

   # increment fooCounts.2
   ++fooCounts.2; changed.2 = 1100;

Time agt-1400:

   # increment fooCounts.2
   ++fooCounts.2; changed.2 = 1400;

Time agt-2100

   # answer get-bulk
   # get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
   #     fooCounts.600);
   # (changed >= 600)
   # return both counters

Time agt-2300:

   # increment fooCounts.1
   ++fooCounts.1; changed.1 = 2300;

Time agt-3600:

   # answer get-bulk
   # get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
   #     fooCounts.2100);
   # (changed >= 2100)
   # return only fooCounts.1 from the fooTable--twice

Time agt-5100:

   # answer get-bulk
   # get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
   #      fooCounts.3600);
   # (changed >= 3600)
   # return lexigraphically-next two MIB instances
