    DESCRIPTION
        "The MIB module for managing remote monitoring
         device implementations.  This MIB module
         extends the architecture introduced in the original
         RMON MIB as specified in RFC 2819.

         Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2006).  This version of
         this MIB module is part of RFC 4502;  see the RFC itself for
         full legal notices."

    REVISION "200605020000Z"    -- May 2, 2006
    DESCRIPTION
        "This version updates the proposed-standard version of the
        RMON2 MIB (published as RFC 2021) by adding 2 new
        enumerations to the nlMatrixTopNControlRateBase object and
        4 new enumerations to the alMatrixTopNControlRateBase object.
        These new enumerations support the creation of high-capacity
        topN reports in the High Capacity RMON MIB [RFC3273].

        Additionally, the following objects have been deprecated, as
        they have not had enough independent implementations to
        demonstrate interoperability to meet the requirements of a
        Draft Standard:

        In addition, two corrections were made.  The LastCreateTime
        Textual Convention had been defined with a base type of
        another textual convention, which isn't allowed in SMIv2.  The
        definition has been modified to use TimeTicks as the base
        type.

        Further, the SerialConfigEntry SEQUENCE definition included
        sub-typing information that is not allowed in SMIv2.  This
        information has been deleted.  Ranges were added to a number of
        objects and textual-conventions to constrain their maximum
        (and sometimes minimum) sizes.  The addition of these ranges
        documents existing practice for these objects.  These objects

        are:

        Finally, the TimeFilter TC has been updated to encourage agent
        implementations that allow a MIB walk to behave well even when
        performed by an application that is not aware of the special
        TimeFilter semantics."

-- Textual Conventions

ZeroBasedCounter32 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This TC describes an object that counts events with the
        following semantics: objects of this type will be set to
        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
        constantly changing and/or the TimeFilter mechanism is in use."
    SYNTAX Gauge32

LastCreateTime ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This TC describes an object that stores the value of the
        sysUpTime object at the last time its entry was created.

        This can be used for polling applications to determine that an
        entry has been deleted and re-created between polls, causing
        an otherwise undetectable discontinuity in the data.

        If sysUpTime is reset to zero as a result of a re-
        initialization of the network management (sub)system, then
        the values of all LastCreateTime objects are also reset.
        However, after approximately 497 days without a re-
        initialization, the sysUpTime object will reach 2^^32-1 and
        then increment to zero; in this case, existing values
        of TimeStamp objects do not change.  This can lead to
        ambiguities in the value of TimeStamp objects."
    SYNTAX TimeTicks

TimeFilter ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
  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.
Top   ToC   RFC4502 - Page 16
      Note that this is not a history mechanism.  Only current values
      of underlying objects are returned; saved instance values
      associated with particular values of sysUpTime are not.

      An entry is considered changed if the value of any object in the
      entry changes, if the row is created, or if any object in the
      entry is created or deleted.  Note that deleted entries cannot
      be detected or downloaded.

      A time-filtered conceptual table is created by inserting a
      single object of SYNTAX TimeFilter as the first INDEX component
      in a copy of an existing basic conceptual table (i.e., any
      SEQUENCE without a TimeFilter INDEX component).  Thus, for
      each conceptual entry 'I' in the basic table, there exists N
      conceptual entries in the time-filtered version, indexed N.I,
      where 'N' is equal to the value of sysUpTime.

      When an application retrieves conceptual instances from a
      time-filtered table, and an INDEX value is provided for the
      TimeFilter INDEX component 'N', the agent will only consider
      returning basic conceptual entries (e.g., 'fooColumn.N.I') if
      any column within the basic conceptual entry has changed since
      sysUpTime 'N'.  If not, the basic conceptual entry will
      be ignored for the particular retrieval operation.

      When sysUpTime is equal to zero, this table shall be empty.

      One conceptual entry exists for each past value of sysUpTime,
      except that the whole table is purged should sysUpTime wrap.

      As an entry in a time-filtered table is updated (i.e., one of
      the columns in the basic conceptual table is changed), new
      conceptual entries are also created in the time-filtered version
      (which still shares the now updated object values with all other
      instances).  The number of unique time-filtered instances that
      are created is determined by the value of sysUpTime at which the
      basic entry was last updated.  One unique instance will exist
      for each value of sysUpTime at the last update time for the row.
      However, a new TimeFilter index instance is created for each new
      sysUpTime value.  The TimeFilter index values not associated
      with entry updates are called duplicate time-filtered instances.

      After some deployment experience, it has been determined that
      a time-filtered table is more efficient if the agent
      stops a MIB walk operation by skipping over rows with a
      TimeFilter index value higher than the value in the received
      GetNext/GetBulk request.  That is, instead of incrementing a
      TimeFilter index value, the agent will continue to the next
Top   ToC   RFC4502 - Page 17
      object or table.  As a consequence, GetNext or GetBulk
      operations will provide only one pass through a time-filtered
      table.

      It is suggested that an agent implement a time-filtered table
      in this manner to improve performance and avoid a MIB walk
      getting stuck in time-filtered tables.  It is, however, still
      acceptable for an agent to implement a time-filtered table in
      the traditional manner (i.e., every conceptual time-filtered
      instance is returned in GetNext and GetBulk PDU responses), and
      management applications must be able to deal with such
      traditional implementations.

      See the appendix for further discussion of this textual
      convention.

      The following example is provided to demonstrate TimeFilter
      behavior:

      Consider the following basic conceptual table, basicFooTable.
      (Note that the basic version of a time-filtered table may not
      actually be defined.)

          basicFooTable:

          basicFooTable ...
          INDEX { fooIndex }

          BasicFooEntry {
             fooIndex     Integer32,
             fooCounts    Counter32
          }

      For this example, the basicFooTable contains two static
      conceptual entries (fooIndex equals '1' and '2'), created at
      time zero.  It also contains one dynamic conceptual entry
      (fooIndex equals '3'), which is created at time '3' and deleted
      at time '7'.

      The time-filtered version of the basicFooTable could be defined
      as follows:

          FooTable:

          fooTable ...
          INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIndex }

          FooEntry {
Top   ToC   RFC4502 - Page 18
             fooTimeMark  TimeFilter,
             fooIndex     Integer32,
             fooCounts    Counter32
          }


      Note that entries exist in the time-filtered conceptual table
      only if they actually exist in the underlying (basic) table.

      For this example, the fooTable will have three underlying
      basic entries (fooIndex == 1, 2, and 3), with the following
      activity (for sysUpTime equal 0 to 9):

         - fooEntry.N.1 is created at time '0' and most recently
           updated at time '6' to the value '5'.
         - fooEntry.N.2 is created at time '0' and most recently
           updated at time '8' to the value '9'.
         - fooEntry.N.3 is created at time '3', updated at time '5'
           to the value '17', and deleted at time '7'.

     The following tables show the values that would be returned for
     MIB walk operations with various TimeFilter values, done at
     different times.  An application issues a retrieval request at
     time 'T', with a TimeFilter value, 'N' (typically set to a lower
     value, such as the value of sysUpTime at the last polling cycle).

     The following values would be returned in a MIB walk of
     fooCounts.N if T equals '0' and N equals '0':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           ==========================
           fooCounts.0.1    0
           fooCounts.0.2    0

       Note that nothing is returned for fooCounts.0.3, since that
       entry does not exist at sysUpTime equals '0'.

     The following values would be returned in a full (traditional) MIB
     walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '3' and N equals '0':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           =======================
           fooCounts.0.1    0
           fooCounts.0.2    0
           fooCounts.0.3    0
           fooCounts.1.3    0
           fooCounts.2.3    0
           fooCounts.3.3    0
Top   ToC   RFC4502 - Page 19
       Note that there are no instances for T equals 1 or 2 for the
       first two values of N, as these entries did not change
       since they were created at time '0'.

       Note that the current value for 'fooCounts.N.3' is returned
       here, even for values of N less than '3' (when the entry was
       created).  The agent only considers the current existence of an
       entry in the TimeFilter algorithm, not the time when the entry
       was created.

       Note that the instances 'fooCounts.0.3', 'fooCounts.1.3',
       and 'fooCounts.2.3' are duplicates and can be suppressed by the
       agent in a MIB walk.

     The following values would be returned in a full (traditional)
     MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '6' and N equals '3':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           =======================
           fooCounts.3.1    5
           fooCounts.3.3    17
           fooCounts.4.1    5
           fooCounts.4.3    17
           fooCounts.5.1    5
           fooCounts.5.3    17
           fooCounts.6.1    5

        Note that no instances for entry 'fooCounts.N.2' are returned,
        since it has not changed since time '3'.

        Note that all instances except 'fooCounts.5.3' and
        'fooCounts.6.1' are duplicates and can be suppressed by the
        agent in a MIB walk.

     The following values would be returned in a full (traditional)
     MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '9' and N equals '6':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           =======================
           fooCounts.6.1    5
           fooCounts.6.2    9
           fooCounts.7.2    9
           fooCounts.8.2    9

        Note that no instances for entry 'fooCounts.N.3' are returned,
        since it was deleted at time '7'.

        Note that instances 'fooCounts.6.2' and 'fooCounts.7.2'
Top   ToC   RFC4502 - Page 20
        are duplicates and can be suppressed by the agent in a MIB

        assignment mechanisms for certain subtrees.  See RFC 2074 for
        more details.

        Despite the algorithmic mechanism, the probe will only place
        entries in here for those protocols it chooses to collect.  In
        other words, it need not populate this table with all
        possible ethernet protocol types, nor need it create them on
        the fly when it sees them.  Whether 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."

    DESCRIPTION
        "This object describes 2 attributes of this protocol
         directory entry.

         The presence or absence of the 'extensible' bit describes
         whether this protocol directory entry can be extended
         by the user by creating protocol directory entries that are
         children of this protocol.

         An example of an entry that will often allow extensibility is
Top   ToC   RFC4502 - Page 24
         '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 extendable.  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 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 protocol 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."
