Introduction This document describes a model for managing TDM pseudowires, i.e., TDM data encapsulated for transmission over a Packet Switched Network (PSN). The term TDM in this document is limited to the scope of Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH). It is currently specified to carry any TDM Signals in either Structure Agnostic Transport mode (E1, T1, E3, and T3) or in Structure Aware Transport mode (E1, T1, and NxDS0) as defined in the Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) TDM Requirements document [RFC4197]. This document is closely related to [SATOP], [TDMOIP], and [CESOPSN], which describe the encapsulation of TDM signals and provide the Circuit Emulation Service over a PSN. The TDM management model consists of several MIB modules, following the layering model described in the PWE3 Architecture document [RFC3985]. The TDM MIB module described in this document works closely with the MIB modules described in [DS3MIB], [DS1MIB], [DS0MIB], [IFMIB], [PWMIB], and with the textual conventions defined in [PWTC]. The conceptual layering and relationship among all those is described in Figure 1 below. A TDM connection will be a pseudowire (PW) connection. It will not be treated as an interface and will therefore not be represented in the ifTable. Nicklass Standards Track [Page 2]

Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [BCP14]. 3. Terminology The basic terminology used to refer to transmission direction in this document is taken from [SATOP], which describes a mechanism for transporting Structure-Agnostic (TDM) bit-streams over a packet- oriented network. To simplify this document, the terminology is used for structured and unstructured TDM as well. "PSN-bound" references the traffic direction where TDM data is received, adapted to the packet based on the number of payload bytes per packet, assigned a relevant TDM header (sequence numbers, flags, and timestamps (if the RTP header is used)), prepended multiplexing layer and PSN headers, and sent into the PSN. Conversely, the "CE-bound" references the traffic direction where packets are received from the PSN, packet payloads are reassembled by including a jitter buffer where payload of the received TDM packets Nicklass Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 is stored prior to play out to the TDM line. The size of this buffer SHOULD be locally configurable to allow accommodation to the PSN- specific packet delay variation. The CE-bound TDM interworking function (IWF) SHOULD use the sequence number in the control word for the detection of lost (Loss of Packet State (LOPS)) and mis-ordered packets. If the RTP header is used, the RTP sequence numbers MAY be used for the same purposes. 4. 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 [RFC3410]. 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 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580]. 5. Overview This MIB module is designed to satisfy the following requirements and constraints: 1. Fit within the architecture defined by [RFC3985] and [PWMIB]. 2. Support edge-to-edge emulation of any TDM connections. 3. Configure the connection. The connection-specific behavior is provided via the supplement MIB modules. 4. Report various alarms, counters, and status objects. 6. TDM MIB Module Usage 6.1. Structure of TDM MIB The MIB consists of five tables; - The TDM PW Table (pwTDMTable) contains generic TDM information regarding the PW connection. It contains the ifIndex of the TDM interface, an index to an entry in the generic configuration table Nicklass Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 (pwTDMCfgTable), an index to an entry in the specific configuration table (pwCXXXCfgTable, where XXX can be TDMoIP (TDM over IP) or CESoPSN (Circuit Emulation Service over PSN)), config error indications, and various status indications. The two indices of the two configuration tables are providing the connection parameters. The TDM interface can be a full link of any TDM type like E1 or DS3, for example, or the interface of the bundle holding the collection of time slots to be transmitted. Based on the TDM PW type, the relevant pwXXXCfgTable from the relevant MIB module will be used. The specific types are: o 17 Structure-agnostic E1 over Packet o 18 Structure-agnostic T1 (DS1) over Packet o 19 Structure-agnostic E3 over Packet o 20 Structure-agnostic T3 (DS3) over Packet o 21 CESoPSN basic mode (XXX=CESoPSN) o 22 TDMoIP AAL1mode (XXX=TDMoIP) o 23 CESoPSN TDM with CAS (XXX=CESoPSN) o 24 TDMoIP AAL2 Mode (XXX=TDMoIP) - The TDM Generic Parameter Table (pwTDMCfgTable) contains TDM generic configurable parameters for any TDM type. - The TDM Performance Current Table (pwTDMPerfCurrentTable) contains TDM statistics for the current 15-minute period. - The TDM Performance Interval Table (pwTDMPerfIntervalTable) contains TDM statistics for historical intervals (usually 96 15- minute entries to cover a 24 hour period). - The TDM Performance One-Day Interval Table (pwTDMPerf1DayIntervalTable) contains TDM statistics for historical intervals accumulated per day. Usually 30 one-day entries to cover a monthly period. 6.2. TDM Connection Configuration Procedure Configuring a TDM PW involves the following steps: First, configure the parameters of the interface-specific layer using the DS1-MIB and or the DS3-MIB. Nicklass Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 Next, if applicable, create a bundle of time slots using the DS0 Bundle MIB [DS0MIB]. Next, create an entry in the pwTable and configure the PSN tunnels: - Follow steps as defined in [PWMIB]. NOTE: The agent should create an entry in the pwTDMTable for any entry created in the pwTable with pwType equal to a value between (17) and (24). Next complete the TDM PW configuration: - If necessary, create an entry in the relevant pwXXXCfgTable and in the pwTDMTable (suitable entries may already exist in both tables). - Set the index of the relevant pwXXXCfgTable entry and of the relevant pwTDMCfgTable entry in the pwTDMTable. 6.3. TDM PW Monitoring Upon making the TDM PW operational, the pwTDMPerfCurrentTable, pwTDMPerfIntervalTable, and PwTDMPerf1DayIntervalTable can be used to monitor the various counters, indicators, and conditions of the PW. All performance parameters are accumulated in daily intervals and in 15-minute intervals. The number of daily intervals kept by the agent is based on the specific implementation. The 15-minute intervals, up to 96 intervals (24 hours worth), are all kept by the agent. Fewer than 96 intervals of data will be available if the agent has been restarted within the last 24 hours. Performance parameters continue to be collected when the interface is down. There is no requirement for an agent to ensure a fixed relationship between the start of a 15-minute interval and any wall clock; however, some agents may align the 15-minute intervals with quarter hours. Performance parameters are of types PerfCurrentCount and PerfIntervalCount. These textual conventions are all Gauge32, and they are used because it is possible for these objects to decrease. 7. Example of Actual TDM PW Setup This section provides an example of using the various MIB objects described in the following section to set up a TDM PW connection. The first example is setting a connection of DS1 type. The second example is setting a connection with a bandwidth of 3 DS0 (time slots). Nicklass Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 While those examples are not meant to illustrate all options of the MIB, they are intended as an aid to understanding some of the key concepts. See [PWMIB] for an example of setting up PSN tunnels. First example: 1. Configure the DS1 interface using DS1-MIB. 2. If needed, create an entry in the pwTDMCfgTable (assuming index = 10); verify that there are no errors in the configuration using the relevant object. 3. Get a new pwIndexNext [PWMIB] and create a new pwTable entry using the value of pwIndexNext (assume here, the PW index = 20). 4. Set the pwType [PWMIB] of the new entry to the relevant value (17) or (18). This should create a new entry in the pwTDMTable. 5. Configure the newly created TDM PW with the required pointers, indices, and the relevant entry in pwTDMCfgTable (index 10). In [DS1MIB] dsx1IfIndex (ifIndex = 5) In pwTDMCfgTable entry: Set the connection characteristic parameters: { pwTDMCfgPayloadSize = 43 -- payload bytes pwTDMCfgPktReorder = FALSE pwTDMCfgRtpHdrUsed = FALSE pwTDMCfgJtrBfrDepth = 30000 -- micro-seconds } In pwTDMTable entry: Set the relevant ifIndex, the generic TDM index, and the specific TDM index to complete creation: { pwTDMIfIndex = 5 -- IfIndex of associated entry -- in DS1 table pwGenTDMCfgIndex = 10 -- Index of associated entry -- in pwTDMCfgTable. pwRelTDMCfgIndex = 0 -- No Index in associated entry -- in pwXXXCfgTable. } Verify that there are no error bits set in pwTDMConfigError. Nicklass Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 Second example: 1. Configure the DS1 interface using DS1-MIB. 2. Set up a bundle and get its dsx0BundleIfIndex. Setting up the bundle should involve using IFMIB properly. 3. Since structured TDMoIP circuit is defined, the next MIB module to be used is TDMoIP-MIB. 4. If needed, create an entry in the pwTDMCfgTable (assuming index = 7). 5. If needed, create an entry in the pwXXXCfgTable (index = 11). XXX can be TDMoIP or CESoPSN. 6. Verify that there are no errors in the configuration using the relevant object when signaling is in use. 7. Get a new pwIndexNext [PWMIB] and create a new pwTable entry using the value of pwIndexNext. 8. Set the pwType [PWMIB] of the new entry to (24). This should create a new entry in the pwTDMTable. 9. Configure the newly created TDM PW with the required pointers, indices, and the relevant entries in pwTDMCfgTable and in pwXXXCfgTable (assuming indices 7 and 11). In [DS1MIB] dsx1IfIndex (ifIndex) = 5 In [DS0MIB] dsx0BundleIfIndex = 8 In pwTDMTable entry: Set the relevant ifIndex, the generic TDM index, and the specific TDM index to complete creation: { pwTDMIfIndex = 8 -- IfIndex of associated entry -- in DS0 table pwGenTDMCfgIndex = 7 -- Index of associated entry -- in pwTDMCfgTable. pwRelTDMCfgIndex = 11 -- Index of associated entry -- in pwXXXCfgTable. -- pwXXXCfgTable might be an implementation specific table too. } Verify that there are no error bits set in pwTDMConfigError.

Security Considerations It is clear that this MIB module is potentially useful for monitoring of TDM PWs. This MIB can also be used for configuration of certain objects, and anything that can be configured can be incorrectly configured, with potentially disastrous results. Nicklass Standards Track [Page 37]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. 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. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: The pwTDMTable and pwTDMCfgTable contain objects of TDM PW parameters on a Provider Edge (PE) device. Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of traffic on the network. The use of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be considered where possible. Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM MUST be used with any SNMPV3 agent, which implements this MIB module. Administrators should consider whether read access to these objects should be allowed, since read access may be undesirable under certain circumstances. Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. 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: The pwTDMTable, pwTDMPerfCurrentTable, pwTDMPerfIntervalTable, and pwTDMPerf1DayIntervalTable collectively show the TDM pseudowire connectivity topology and its performance characteristics. If an Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable. SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. 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 module. It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy). Nicklass Standards Track [Page 38]
RFC 5604 Manage TDM over PSN July 2009 Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module 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. 10.
