Definitions of Managed Objects for IP Traffic Flow Security
Abstract
This document describes managed objects for the management of IP Traffic Flow Security additions to Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) and IPsec. This document provides a read-only version of the objects defined in the YANG module for the same purpose, which is in "A YANG Data Model for IP Traffic Flow Security" (RFC 9348).

1. Introduction
This document defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. IP Traffic Flow Security (IP-TFS) extensions, as defined in [RFC 9347], are enhancements to an IPsec tunnel Security Association (SA) to provide improved traffic confidentiality.
The objects defined here are the same as [RFC 9348], with the exception that only operational or state data is supported. By making operational data accessible via SNMP, existing network management systems can monitor IP-TFS. This data is listed in the MIB tree in Section 4.1. This module uses the YANG data model as a reference point for managed objects. Note that an IETF MIB model for IPsec was never standardized; however, the structures here could be adapted to existing proprietary MIB implementations where SNMP is used to manage networks.
1.1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to Section 7 of RFC 3410.
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, [RFC 2578], STD 58, [RFC 2579] and STD 58, [RFC 2580].
3. Overview
This document defines the MIB for access to operational parameters of IP Traffic Flow Security (IP-TFS). IP-TFS, defined in [RFC 9347], configures a Security Association for tunnel mode IPsec with characteristics that improve traffic confidentiality and reduce bandwidth efficiency loss.
This document is based on the concepts and management model defined in [RFC 9348]. This document assumes familiarity with the IPsec concepts described in [RFC 4301], IP-TFS as described in [RFC 9347], and the IP-TFS management model described in [RFC 9348].
This document specifies an extensible operational model for IP-TFS. It reuses the management model defined in [RFC 9348]. It allows SNMP systems to read operational objects (which include configured objects) from IP-TFS.

SYNTAX TruthValue
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"When set to true, the default, this enables the
congestion control on-the-wire exchange of data that is
required by congestion control algorithms, as defined by
RFC 5348. When set to false, IP-TFS sends fixed-sized
packets over an IP-TFS tunnel at a constant rate."

DESCRIPTION
"Packet size is either auto-discovered or manually
configured. If usePathMtuDiscovery is true, the system
utilizes path-mtu to determine the maximum IP-TFS packet
size. If the packet size is explicitly configured,
then it will only be adjusted downward if use-path-mtu
is set."

Encapsulating Security Payload)."

l2FixedRate OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX CounterBasedGauge64
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The IP-TFS bit rate may be specified as a layer 2 wire
rate. On transmission, the target bandwidth/bit rate in
bits per second (bps) for the IP-TFS tunnel. This rate is
the nominal timing for the fixed-size packet. If
congestion control is enabled, the rate may be adjusted
down."

DESCRIPTION
"The IP-TFS bit rate may be specified as a layer 3 packet

for the fixed-size packet. If congestion control is
enabled, the rate may be adjusted down."

DESCRIPTION
"On transmission, disable packet fragmentation across
consecutive IP-TFS tunnel packets; inner packets larger
than what can be transmitted in outer packets will be
dropped."
::= { iptfsConfigTableEntry 7 }
maxAggregationTime OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX NanoSeconds
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"On transmission, the maximum aggregation time is the
maximum length of time a received inner packet can be
held prior to transmission in the IP-TFS tunnel. Inner
packets that would be held longer than this time, based
on the current tunnel configuration, will be dropped
rather than be queued for transmission."
::= { iptfsConfigTableEntry 8 }

SYNTAX UnsignedShort
MAX-ACCESS read-only

DESCRIPTION
"On reception, the maximum number of out-of-order
packets that will be reordered by an IP-TFS receiver
while performing the reordering operation. The value 0
disables any reordering."
::= { iptfsConfigTableEntry 9 }
sendImmediately OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TruthValue
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"On reception, send inner packets as soon as possible; do
not wait for lost or misordered outer packets.
Selecting this option reduces the inner (user) packet
delay but can amplify out-of-order delivery of the inner
packet stream in the presence of packet aggregation and
any reordering."
::= { iptfsConfigTableEntry 10 }
lostPacketTimerInterval OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX NanoSeconds
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"On reception, this interval defines the length of time
an IP-TFS receiver will wait for a missing packet before
considering it lost. If not using send-immediately,
then each lost packet will delay inner (user) packets
until this timer expires. Setting this value too low can
impact reordering and reassembly."

5. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER value, recorded in the "SMI Network Management MGMT Codes Internet-standard MIB" registry:
Table 1
| Decimal | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 246 | iptfsMIB | IP-TRAFFIC-FLOW-SECURITY-MIB |
6. Security Considerations
The MIB specified in this document can read the operational behavior of IP Traffic Flow Security. For the implications regarding write configuration, consult [RFC 9347], which defines the functionality.
There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB module via direct SNMP SET operations.
Some of the objects in this MIB module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. This includes INDEX objects with a MAX-ACCESS of not-accessible, and any indices from other modules exposed via AUGMENTS. It is thus important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
- iptfsInnerStatsTable and iptfsOuterStatsTable: Access to IP inner and outer Traffic Flow Security statistics can provide information that IP Traffic Flow Security obscures, such as the true activity of the flows using IP Traffic Flow Security.
