Hi,

there was no time before the I-D cutoff to review the -03 version and
hence I am sending my comments straight to the list (even though I am
likely the one to act on some of them). But this may be useful input
for the WG meeting later this week.

/js

- You can't write 'indexed MIBs' or 'indexed MIB object. You probably
  mean 'columnar objects'?  This is the term used in RFC 2578.  We
  should in general check that this document uses RFC 2578 terms. I am
  also not sure about the usage of phrases such as "MIB Indexing". I
  guess I have to go through the doc and carefully mark all phrases
  that may need rewriting. (A phrase like 'the MIB' does not work
  either, it is the MIB module but often you really mean the object
  definition in RFC 2578 sense.)

- The I-D talks about a number of new information elements that are
  defined later and initially when you read from the beginning, the
  solution remains relatively unclear for quite some time. What is
  missing is perhaps a simple right at the beginning that makes things
  clear for the reader.

- In the enumeration in section 5.2, I suggest to inline the
  explanations rather than having the explanation below.

- Figure 4 helps getting an overview (but perhaps a bit late). But you
  seem to make the assumption that there is a fixed # of
  mibObjectValues mapping to the same fixed number of mibFieldOptions.
  This may be fine - I am just noting this (and if correct it might be
  good to spell it out).

- What about ordering requirements? I assume no lexicographic ordering
  needed when MIB data is moved via IPFIX?

- What about instead using mibObjectValue you use mibObjectValue<Type>
  (mibObjectValueCounter32, mibObjectValueCounter64, ...)? Since there
  is a limited number of base types, you can also benefit from knowing
  the length in many cases without having to have the corresponding 
  mibFieldOption. But then, if you need a mibFieldOption anyway, the
  current design makes sense.

- I have trouble to understand Figure 6 and Figure 7.

- I do not fully understand mibIndexList in section 5.3.5. I assume
  Figure 10 is a Data Record? Should the caption be "Format of a
  mibFieldOption Data Record for a Columnar Object"? But even then, I
  think there should have been a corresponding template record example
  before. Oh no, this is an option template for a columnar object.  So
  the caption should be "MIB Field Option Template Format for a
  Columnar Object".

- I think mibName should be renamed to mibModuleName.

- Should the mibContextIdentifier not go into mibFieldOption Template?
  If so, should the text in 5.4 be more specific?

- Second paragraph in section 6.1 I think is not needed.

- It seems the example in 6.1 does not match the new templates etc??

- Is section 6.3 really needed? The only important sentence is this:

    This example stresses that, even though the OID cpmCPUTotal1minRev is
    enterprise-specific, the E bit for the mibObjectValue and
    mibObjectIdentifier is set to "0" since the "mibObjectValue" and
    "mibObjectIdentifier" Information Element is not enterprise-specific.

  This should be generalized and written down where the normative text
  is of the mibObjectValue and mibObjectIdentifier definitions, e.g.

    The E bit of the mibObjectValue or mibObjectIdentifier Information
    Elements is set to "0" since they are not enterprise-specific. This
    holds true even if the data carried inside the mibObjectValue or
    mibObjectIdentifier may be enterprise specific.

- Section 6.4 talks about multiple indexes. This is confusing. RFC
  2578 calls this indexed by multiple objects. I do not know how to
  read "index 2 is not an index of index 1".

- Is Figure 22 a "Options Template Set"? I expected this to be a
  Template Set...

- Should ipIfStatsIPVersion not be InetVersion in Figure 24?

- I have not fully understood the mibIndexList - the example in 6.4
  did not fully help either.

- Am I correct that the example in 6.4 is supposed to show the value
  of ipIfStatsInForwDatagrams (10000 and 20000) for ip4 and ip6 on
  interface 10? If so, note that InetVersion encodes IPv4 using '1'
  and IPv6 using '2'. In any case, showing how a data record is
  encoded is very useful but requires some textual explanation.

- Section 6.6. has not been updated? Otherwise, I do not understand
  what mibIndexString is here. I assume this is outdated text. I guess
  the same applies to section 6.8.

- Why do we talk about IPFIX transports in section 8? All this should
  be pretty agnostic to the choice of the transport, no?

- I think there needs to be some more explicit text saying that the
  security administrator must make sure that IPFIX export of MIB
  objects does not cause a hole into the SNMP access control
  configuration. (Some SNMP hardliners might even say that IPFIX
  should access data through the SNMP access control subsystem, in
  which case there would need to be proper parameters such as a
  (securityName, securityModel, securityLevel) tuple...

- Section 11.2 says "the MIB OID" which is ambiguous at best. It
  should probably be "the OID of a MIB object" or even better "the OID
  assigned to the MIB object definition".

- Is it really useful to encode OIDs as strings? SNMP uses a binary
  BER encoding which is more compact (but less human readable).

- Do we still need mibIndexString? Is this just an additional add-on?

- Section 11.2.5:

  Description of mibObjectName: RFC 2578 calls this a
  descriptor. Perhaps use this text:

  The name (called a descriptor in RFC 2578) of an object type
  definition.

- Section 11.2.6 Description of mibObjectDescription. Perhaps use
  this text:

  The value of the DESCRIPTION clause of an object type definition.

- Section 11.2.7: This should be SMIv2 (a superset of SMIv1). Since
  you include Integer32 and Gauge32, do you expect that type to be
  reported that SNMP uses on the wire or the type that is acting as a
  base type in a MIB object definition? In a MIB module, I can define
  something to use Integer32, on the wire it is always INTEGER. Same
  for Gauge32.

- Section 11.2.8: Are you talking about using the content of the
  SYNTAX clause of an object type definition or a subset of it?  Note
  that the SYNTAX clause may contain refinements and enumerations.

- Section 11.2.10: An SNMP context is a type of a contextEngineID and
  a contextName. See section 3.3 of RFC 3411. What exactly does the
  mibContextIdentifier contain? Note that the contextName defaults to
  an empty string for the common case of the default context. To
  follow the SNMP architecture correctly, you would still have to
  explain which contextEngineID your data belongs to.

- Section 11.2.11: As said before, this should be called mibModuleName
  and the description should be "The name of an SMIv2 MIB module".

SNMP uses ASN.1/BER and this gives you are much more compact encoding
of OIDs (but this is of course a much less human/programmer friendly
representation).

The IPv6 address types are an OCTET STRING on the wire (not a tagged
type anymore).

No, an SNMP context is actually a more complex thing, namely a tuple
of an snmpContextEngineID and an snmpContextName.

So, would a simple octetArray like Brian asked about make sense?  I'm
still not sure.

I've occasionally wondered if an ipAddress type (varlen 4 or 16 octets)
would be useful in IPFIX.

Not sure exactly what Brian proposed but a sub-identifier can be up to
32-bit long.

Maybe it is but surely this is not how SNMP represents data; the
InetAddress textual convention actually can carry zone indexes and
hence the assumption 4 or 16 octets may not hold true in general.

Nevil,

I just found that the WG meeting is scheduled for 5.30 - 6.30pm this 
Thursday.

That's 1.30 - 2.30am here, and 2.30 - 3.30am in Europe where most of the 
WG attendees are based.

I object! That's a ridiculous meeting time.

Dear IPFIXers,

This is a minor update to address the issues reported by Ben Campbell in 
his Gen-ART review.

Specifically:

* changed the 3rd paragraph of the intro to clarify that:

    ... the PSAMP
    Information Model [RFC5477] and the IPFIX Information Model [RFC7011]
    don't yet contain enough Information Elements related to data link
    layer,


* corrected 3.2.18.  droppedL2OctetTotalCount to define a total counter 
rather than a delta counter:

    Description:

       The total number of octets in observed layer 2 packets (including
       the layer 2 header) that were dropped by packet treatment since
       the (re-)initialization of the Metering Process.

* I also took the opportunity to make some small formatting changes to 
Figures 1, 2, and 3 in section 6, to avoid idnits complaining that 
Figure 3 is overly wide, and to keep Figures 1 and 2 in sync.


* One issue remains from Ben's review:

    It looks like this draft updates at least RFC5477. If so, this should be indicated in the header and in the abstract.


Our view is that IANA's IPFIX registry is now the ultimate reference, so 
we don't constantly have to be referring back to old RFCs in each new 
draft.

TBD.

P.

That makes sense since RFC 7012 mentions that IANA registry is now THE 
reference

    The IANA "IPFIX Information Elements" registry [IANA-IPFIX] is the
    current complete reference for IPFIX Information Elements.

The IE-doctors collectively agreed that updating the OLD is not needed, 
and they will consistently apply this rule for future IEs
I thought I would let the IPFIX community know.

For the record, IANA's IPFIX registry MUST be the reference because 20% 
of the Information Elements in the registry are not defined in any RFC.

So if you only refer to RFCs, you will be missing 20% of the Information 
Elements.

Perhaps the details of my example were too narrow, but my question remains.

Actually, reading Juergen's comment I went looking for the InetAddress
textual convention and was reminded that some textual conventions denote
structure which we will need to represent.  Even looking at a simpler
textual convention like InetPortNumber which is just a name for a
unsigned16 I'm not sure what I should do with that if sent using IPFIX. 
Is that:
sourceTransportPort
destinationTransportPort
collectorTransportPort
exporterTransportPort
postNAPTSourceTransportPort
postNAPTDestinationTransportPort

Perhaps it is possible to use other info in the various MIBs to map an
InetPortNumber appropriately, but I'll need to do some more looking to
really know.

Juergen, just out of curiousity... What exactly is the "zone index" in
the InetAddress?  I read some words in RFC3291, still wasn't clear how
that is used.

I think you can't do such a mapping. The textual convention
InetPortNumber does not define what the port number represents. And
there is nothing machine readable which allows a machine to decide
whether a specific usage of InetPortNumber maps to those IPFIX
information elements. In general, you may not want to make IE specific
mappings since there are tons of MIB objects and data types out there.

Details in RFC 4007. In short, if you have scoped addresses such as
link local addresses, then you need additional information to
disambiguate them and this is called a zone index. An example from the
command line:

     inet6 fe80::217:f2ff:fed0:4c82%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6

The %en0 is the zone index. It can be represented as a name or
numerically as an ifIndex value. The InetAddress TCs use the numeric
representation.

The complexity that still remains is an attempt to allow existing keys
in a data record to be used to index into the columns of data.

The other option is to just export an extra 'string' in the data record
if there are no key fields that can be used. That is what mibIndexString is
for.

I'll need to look into using a similar method to flowKeyIndicator. And see
if there is a clearer way to do the indexing/explain it.

Using a bit flag to mark the fields indexing a mibObjectValue would also
be more efficient than giving a list of indexes into a template. What you wouldn't
be able to specify is the ordering that might be different than the order
of the fields in the template.

I don't think we need to have new Abstract Data Types to make the mechanism work.

We would only need new ADTs if we are actually adding extra snmp types.

This is carried over from the previous versions of the draft so I'm not sure about the
background on the choice.

I agree that encoding the mibObjectIdentifier in the same format as SNMP might
be ideal as we would have a complete definition in another RFC.

Sending the OID as a string is 'simpler' but potentially wasteful. On the other
hand a lot of the sub-identifiers are short and would be more efficient as a single
character than a 32bit number.

Note that this string is only being sent once for each mib field. The records using
mib objects are not exporting any extra strings.

I did consider writing this using the basicList structured data that might be
clearer. We also discussed that if the type of the fields and the elements never changes it
seems wasteful in the simple case of a single index.

Defining a single mibIndex field and a basicList mibIndexList field might be
the best compromise.

I haven't fully groked '7013 section 4.2' - I'll go and reread it.

We might still want the definition in mibIndexString 11.2.4 as that allows indexing
in a different manner.

That was my thinking by requiring the basesyntax field - and having that
information in the data template is probably worth having the extra fields.

Also aside from having to decode the options template the cp needs to have
access to the correct mib to work out the base data type for the field. Depending
on the implementation the correct mib might be missing or require a network lookup.

While the OID/ ObjectIdentifier provides enough information in theory to understand
the field it might take some 'work' - providing the base syntax or encoding the
base type in the IE is a nice compromise - the CP can store/display the values nicely
and always lookup the MIB later.

> Not being a SNMP geek, I don't understand why you need 11 here.

I included all 11 base 'types' in the baseSyntax as I didn't understand the
nuiances of the differences. It also made it simpler when mapping from the
definitions of mib objects.

Yes I don't think we want to lose any type information when exporting mib
data types via ipfix. I don't see any problem with using RLE though.

Yes the cp would know the basic data for the field even without having access
to the mib so it wouldn't need to be in the mibOption. The only required field
would be the mibObjectIdentifier, which is nicer.

Agree, if we can simplify to one required field this can all be made clearer as well.

Hi Paul and Colin,

This draft is quite clever and headed in the right direction.

I am confused by Figure 14 with a "Set ID = ??"  Is this left from the
earlier version?

I like the goal of

Honestly I kind of liked the original export method, but I have been
mostly convinced that there is some benefit to this new method.  Mostly
that it at least allows existing collectors to use known IEs and get
some data while ignoring SNMP elements until the work is done to fully
implement collection of SNMP data over IPFIX.  This fits with the stated
goal to "augmented [an existing Template Record] with some MIB variables
whose index was already present in the Template Record as an IPFIX
Information Element". Although this draft also allows more than that so
how much practical use the backwards compatibility is will likely depend
on exactly what is ultimately exported.

The collector has to do a bit of correlation of different pieces to get
there, but in the end I get a template with specific IEs.  This aligns
nicely with how regular templates work.

(eg, mibObjectIntegerValue, mibObjectIpAddressValue, ...) ?
I think having multiple value IEs (one per data type) is nice, but I'm
not sure it is strictly necessary.  At least not if this draft is fully
implemented.  As I noted above, once all the templates are correlated
the collector should know the type of each element unambiguously.  That
said I think my personal bias is still for one value / type.  I suspect
that will simplify some things once I dive in and try implementing any
of this.

Once again, each sub-identifier (except the first two) can be an
unsigned32 number. SNMP uses BER encoding and using BER encoding,
smaller numbers need less space. For most of the small sub-identifiers
(range 0-127), you only need one octet in BER and there are no
separators (hence they will be about 50% of the length of a string
representation). For larger sub-identifier, the savings may be even
more significant (but they are less frequent, although private OIDs
usually have at least one larger sub-identifier, the enterprise ID,
except for those companies that got a private number very early).

Bottom line: If you care about efficiency on the wire, use BER
encoding of the OIDs. If efficiency is not much of a concern since
these OIDs only show up rarely, a string encoding may be easier for
implementors.

Ok, I think I'm understanding you now.

I'll experiment with the format.

Sounds like BER might be the better choice.

A string encoding may be easier for some implementors but might require
translation into a string if any OIDs being exported are already stored internally
with a BER encoding. I'm thinking more of the case where the value of a mibObject
is itself an OID.

Exporting the value is more likely to be a straight copy into the export packet if it
is in the same format.

The encoding is already a standard and there are library implementations of the BER encoding.
Also anything extracting values out of an existing MIB implementation will probably already
have support.

OIDs as values are rare and even then it is an implementation choice
whether they are stored internally BER encoded.

Yes, for the exporter this should not be an issue at all. For
something processing collected IPFIX records, BER encoded OIDs may be
a bit more fun. That said, it should be possible to write a fairly
simple piece of C code to go into an appendix in case people think it
is hard to figure out how this works.

Hi all:

Here are the draft minutes.  As always, please email corrections and
comments to me (or to the list).

Cheers, Nevil

Minutes of the IPFIX meeting at IETF 88 in Vancouver

About 22 people present, plus some on jabber

Scribes: Nevil Brownlee and Chris Innacio
Jabber Scribe: Brian Trammell

Meeting chair: Nevil Brownlee

Nevil opened the meeting, and gave the IPFIX status update:
- Internet Standard RFCs published since last meeting:
     7011 = 5101bis, 7012 = 5102bis, 7013 = IE Doctors
     7014 = Flow Selection Techniques, 7015 = IPFIX Aggregation
- Other WG drafts in process
     Link Layer IEs - on IESG telechat 21 Nov
     Mediation Protocol - IETF LC completed, new version needed
-  AD-sponsored draft
     trammell-ipfix-tcpcontrolbits-revision - IANA waiting on IE Doctors

Nevil presented Paul Aitken's slides on the MIB Variable Export draft:
- There have been several good reviews on the latest verision
- One particular problem discussed is that SNMP's type system is
    not a good match for IPFIX's type system
- The authors will produce a new version, taking account of all
    the feedback
- Benoit, Brian and Juergen will review that version

Next Steps for IPFIX
- The meeting discussed the various drafts that have been presented
   at IPFIX meetings over about the last 12 months.
- Several of these can be AD-sponsored:
     draft-yourtchenko-cisco-ies    (Joel)
     draft-trammell-ipfix-text-adt  (Benoit)
- Others need more work:
   Enterprise IEs
     draft-aitken-ipfix-equivalent-ies
     draft-inacio-ipfix-penie-00
     These offer two solutions to the problem of managing Enterprise
     IEs.  A single solution is needed.
   Unobserved Fields
     draft-aitken-ipfix-unobserved-fields
- Summary:
     . The chairs propose to close the WG when the current charter
         items are completed.  Other drafts may be AD-sponsored.
     . The mailing list will be kept open for IPFIX-related discussions
     . New work could be handled in the opsarea wg.

Other Business
- IE Doctors.  Benoit proposed adding Andrew Ferren to the IE Doctors.
     Feedback on that is welcome on the list.

There was no Other Business.

The meeting finished at 1800

I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. For background on
Gen-ART, please see the FAQ at
< http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/gen/trac/wiki/GenArtfaq>.

Please wait for direction from your document shepherd
or AD before posting a new version of the draft.

Document: draft-ietf-ipfix-data-link-layer-monitoring-07
Reviewer: Ben Campbell
Review Date: 2013-11-19
IESG Telechat date: 2013-11-21

Summary: This draft is essentially ready for publication as a standards =
track RFC. However, there is one issue that I unfortunately missed in my =
last call review of version 06 that should be considered prior to =
publication.

Major issues:

None

Minor issues:

There's a normative downref to RFC 2804, which is informational. That =
seems a really odd draft for a normative reference. There may be =
precedent, as I note that RFC 5477, referenced here for security =
considerations, does the same thing.  I apologize for bringing this up =
this late in the process--I missed it in my earlier review at last call.

As I understand it the context is that certain data elements can include =
payload octets. This is subject to the security considerations in 5477, =
which basically say don't include too much, because of guidance from =
2804. But my reading of 2804 does not give specific guidance things like =
how much payload one can capture before it becomes too much.

I think the simplest solution would be to keep the reference to the 5477 =
security considerations, and reiterate that this model is not intended =
for gross capture of payloads, perhaps with an _informative_ reference =
to 2804.

Actually RFC 5477 uses an informative reference to RFC 2804.

The informative reference would be in line with RFC 5477. So yes.
Not sure if we need the reiteration.
