  Definitions of Managed Objects for Network Address Translators (NAT)
                   draft-perrault-behave-natv2-mib-04

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for devices implementing the Network Address Translator (NAT)
   function.  The new MIB module defined in this document, NATV2-MIB, is
   intended to replace module NAT-MIB (RFC 4008).  NATV2-MIB is not
   backwards compatible with NAT-MIB, for reasons given in the text of
   this document.  A companion document deprecates all objects in NAT-
   MIB.  NATV2-MIB can be used for monitoring of NAT instances on a
   device capable of NAT function.  Compliance levels are defined for
   three application scenarios: basic NAT, pooled NAT, and carrier-grade
   NAT (CGN).

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


1.  The SNMP 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,
   [RFC2578], [RFC2579] and [RFC2580].

2.  Introduction

   Note to RFC Ed.: please replace RFC yyyy with actual RFC number
   throughout this document and remove this note.

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for devices implementing NAT functions.  This MIB module, NATV2-MIB,
   may be used for monitoring of such devices.  NATV2-MIB supersedes
   NAT-MIB [RFC4008], which did not fit well with existing NAT
   implementations, and hence was not itself much implemented.
   [I-D.perrault-behave-deprecate-nat-mib-v1] provides a detailed
   analysis of the deficiencies of NAT-MIB.

   Relative to [RFC4008] and based on the analysis just mentioned, the
   present document introduces the following changes:

   o  removed all writable configuration except that related to control
      of the generation of notifications and the setting of quotas on
      the use of NAT resources;

   o  minimized the read-only exposure of configuration to what is
      needed to provide context for the state and statistical
      information presented by the MIB module;

   o  removed the association between mapping and interfaces, retaining
      only the mapping aspect;

   o  replaced references to NAT types with references to NAT behaviors
      as specified in [RFC4787];

   o  replaced a module-specific enumeration of protocols with the
      standard protocol numbers provided by the IANA Assigned Internet
      Protocol Numbers registry.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   This MIB module adds the following features not present in [RFC4008]:

   o  additional writable protective limits on NAT state data;

   o  additional objects to report state, statistics, and notifications;

   o  support for the carrier grade NAT (CGN) application, including
      subscriber-awareness, support for an arbitrary number of address
      realms, and support for multiple NAT instances running on a single
      device;

   o  expanded support for address pools;

   o  revised indexing of port map entries to simplify traceback from
      externally observable packet parameters to the corresponding
      internal endpoint.

   These features are described in more detail below.

   The remainder of this document is organized as follows:

   o  Section 3 provides a verbal description of the content and
      organization of the MIB module.

   o  Section 4 provides the MIB module definition.

   o  Section 5 discusses operational and management issues relating to
      the deployment of NATV2-MIB.  One of these issues is NAT
      management when both NAT-MIB [RFC4008] and NATV2-MIB are deployed.

   o  Section 6 and Section 7 provide a security discussion and a
      request to IANA for allocation of an object identifier for the
      module in the mib-2 tree, respectively.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   [RFC2119].

   This document uses the following terminology:

   Upper layer protocol:  The protocol following the outer IP header of
      a packet.  This follows the terminology of [RFC2460], but as that
      document points out, "upper" is not necessarily a correct
      description of the protocol relationships (e.g., where IP is
      encapsulated in IP).  The abbreviated term "protocol" will often
      be used where it is unambiguous.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   Trigger:  With respect to notifications, the logical recognition of
      the event that the notification is intended to report.

   Report:  The actual production of a notification message.  Reporting
      can happen later than triggering, or may never happen for a given
      notification instance, because of the operation of notification
      rate controls.

   Address realm:  A network domain in which the network addresses are
      uniquely assigned to entities such that datagrams can be routed to
      them.  (Definition taken from [RFC2663] Section 2.1.)  The
      abbreviated term "realm" will often be used.

3.  Overview

   This section provides a prose description of the contents and
   organization of the NATV2-MIB module.

3.1.  Content Provided by the NATV2-MIB Module

   The content provided by the NATV2-MIB module can be classed under
   four headings: configuration data, notifications, state information,
   and statistics.

3.1.1.  Configuration Data

   As mentioned above, the intent in designing the NATV2-MIB module was
   to minimize the amount of configuration data presented to that needed
   to give a context for interpreting the other types of information
   provided.  Detailed descriptions of the configuration data are
   included with the descriptions of the individual tables.  In general,
   that data is limited to what is needed for indexing and cross-
   referencing between tables.  The two exceptions are the objects
   describing NAT instance behavior in the NAT instance table, and the
   detailed enumeration of resources allocated to each address pool in
   the pool table and its extension.

   The NATV2-MIB module provides three sets of read-write objects,
   specifically related to other aspects of the module content.  The
   first set controls the rate at which specific notifications are
   generated.  The second set provides thresholds used to trigger the
   notifications.  These objects are listed in Section 3.1.2.

   A third set of read-write objects sets limits on resource consumption
   per NAT instance and per subscriber.  When these limits are reached,
   packets requiring further consumption of the given resource are
   dropped rather than translated.  Statistics described in

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   Section 3.1.4 record the numbers of packets so dropped.  Limits are
   provided for:

   o  total number of address map entries over the NAT instance.  Limit
      is set by object natv2InstanceLimitAddressMapEntries in table
      natv2InstanceTable.  Dropped packets are counted in
      natv2InstanceAddressMapEntryLimitDrops in that table.

   o  total number of port map entries over the NAT instance.  Limit is
      set by object natv2InstanceLimitPortMapEntries in table
      natv2InstanceTable.  Dropped packets are counted in
      natv2InstancePortMapEntryLimitDrops in that table.

   o  total number of held fragments (applicable only when the NAT
      instance can receive fragments out of order; see [RFC4787]
      Section 11).  Limit is set by object
      natv2InstanceLimitPendingFragments in table natv2InstanceTable.
      Dropped packets are counted by natv2InstanceFragmentDrops in the
      same table.

   o  total number of active subscribers (i.e., subscribers having at
      least one mapping table entry) over the NAT instance.  Limit is
      set by object natv2InstanceLimitSubscriberActives in table
      natv2InstanceTable.  Dropped packets are counted by
      natv2InstanceSubscriberActiveLimitDrops in the same table.

   o  number of port map entries for an individual subscriber.  Limit is
      set by object natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries in table
      natv2SubscriberTable.  Dropped packets are counted by
      natv2SubscriberPortMapFailureDrops in the same table.  Note that,
      unlike in the instance table, the per-subscriber count is lumped
      in with the count of packets dropped because of failures to
      allocate a port map entry for other reasons to save on storage.

3.1.2.  Notifications

   NATV2-MIB provides five notifications, intended to provide warning of
   the need to provision or reallocate NAT resources.  As indicated in
   the previous section, each notification is associated with two read-
   write objects: a control on the rate at which that notification is
   generated, and a threshold value used to trigger the notification in
   the first place.  The default setting within the MIB module
   specification is that all notifications are disabled.  The setting of
   threshold values is discussed in Section 5.

   The five notifications are as follows:

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   o  Two notifications relate to the management of address pools.  One
      indicates that usage equals or exceeds an upper threshold, and is
      therefore a warning that the pool may be over-utilized unless more
      addresses are assigned to it.  The other notification indicates
      that usage equals or has fallen below a lower threshold,
      suggesting that some addresses allocated to that pool could be
      reallocated to other pools.  Address pool usage is calculated as
      the percentage of the total number of ports allocated to the
      address pool that are already in use, for the most-mapped protocol
      at the time the notification is generated.  The notifications
      identify that protocol and report the number of port map entries
      for that protocol in the given address pool at the moment the
      notification was triggered.

   o  Two notifications relate to the number of address and port map
      entries respectively, in total over the whole NAT instance.  In
      both cases the threshold that triggers the notification is an
      upper threshold.  The notifications return the number of mapping
      entries of the given type, plus a cumulative counter of the number
      of entries created in that mapping table at the moment the
      notification was triggered.  The intent is that the notifications
      provide a warning that the total number of address or port map
      entries is approaching the configured limit.

   o  The final notification is generated on a per-subscriber basis when
      the number of port map entries for that subscriber crosses the
      associated threshold.  The objects returned by this notification
      are similar to those returned for the instance-level mapping
      notifications.  This notification is a warning that the number of
      port map entries for the subscriber is approaching the configured
      limit for that subscriber.

   Here is a detailed specification of the notifications.  A given
   notification can be disabled by setting the threshold to 0 (default),
   with the exception noted below.

   Notification: natv2NotificationPoolUsageLow.  Indicates that address
   pool usage for the most-mapped protocol equals or is less than the
   threshold value.

   Compared value:  natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries as a percentage of
      total available ports in the pool.

   Threshold:  natv2PoolThresholdUsageLow in natv2PoolTable.  To allow
      for a threshold of zero usage, disabling of the
      natv2NotificationPoolUsageLow is done by setting
      natv2PoolThresholdUsageLow to -1 rather than 0, in contrast to all
      of the other notifications.

3.1.3.  State Information

   State information provides a snapshot of the content and extent of
   the NAT mapping tables at a given moment of time.  The address and
   port mapping tables are described in detail below.  In addition to
   these tables, two state variables are provided: current number of
   entries in the address mapping table, and current number of entries
   in the port mapping table.  With one exception, these are provided at
   four levels of granularity: per NAT instance, per protocol, per
   address pool, and per subscriber.  Address map entries are not
   tracked per protocol, since address mapping is protocol-independent.

3.1.4.  Statistics

   NATV2-MIB provides a number of counters, intended to help both with
   provisioning of the NAT and debugging of problems.  As with the state
   data, these counters are provided at the four levels of NAT instance,
   protocol, address pool, and subscriber when they make sense.  Each
   counter is cumulative beginning from a "last discontuity time"
   recorded by an object that is usually in the table containing the
   counter.

   The basic set of counters, as reflected in the NAT instance table, is
   as follows:

   Translations:  number of packets processed and translated (in this
      case, in total for the NAT instance);

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   Address map entry creations:  cumulative number of address map
      entries created, including static mappings;

   Port map entry creations:  cumulative number of port map entries
      created, including static mappings;

   Address map limit drops:  cumulative number of packets dropped rather
      than translated because the packet would have triggered the
      creation of a new address mapping, but the configured limit on
      number of address map entries has already been reached.

   Port map limit drops:  cumulative number of packets dropped rather
      than translated because the packet would have triggered the
      creation of a new port mapping, but the configured limit on number
      of port map entries has already been reached.

   Active subscriber limit drops:  cumulative number of packets dropped
      rather than translated because the packet would have triggered the
      creation of a new address and/or port mapping for a subscriber
      with no existing entries in either table, but the configured limit
      on number of active subscribers has already been reached.

   Address mapping failure drops:  cumulative number of packets dropped
      because the packet would have triggered the creation of a new
      address mapping, but no address could be allocated in the external
      realm concerned because all addresses from the selected address
      pool (or the whole realm, if no address pool has been configured
      for that realm) have already been fully allocated.

   Port mapping failure drops:  cumulative number of packets dropped
      because the packet would have triggered the creation of a new port
      mapping, but no port could be allocated for the protocol
      concerned.  The precise conditions under which these packet drops
      occur depend on the pooling behavior [RFC4787] configured or
      implemented in the NAT instance.  See the DESCRIPTION clause for
      the natv2InstancePortMapFailureDrops object for a detailed
      description of the different cases.  These cases were defined with
      care to ensure that address mapping failure could be distinguished
      from port mapping failure.

   Fragment drops:  cumulative number of packets dropped because the
      packet contains a fragment and the fragment behavior [RFC4787]
      configured or implemented in the NAT instance indicates that the
      packet should be dropped.  The main case is a NAT instance that
      meets REQ-14 of [RFC4787], hence can receive and process out-of-
      order fragments.  In that case, dropping occurs only when the

3.2.  Outline of MIB Module Organization

   Figure 1 shows how object identifiers are organized in the NATV2-MIB
   module.  Under the general natv2MIB object identifier in the mib-2
   tree, the objects are classed into four groups:

   natv2MIBNotifications(0)  identifies the five notifications described
      in Section 3.1.2;

   natv2MIBDeviceObjects(1)  identifies objects relating to the whole
      device, specifically, the subscriber table.

   natv2MIBInstanceObjects(2)  identifies objects relating to individual
      NAT instances.  These include the NAT instance table, the protocol
      table, the address pool table and its address range expansion, the
      address map table, and the port map table.

   natv2MIBConformance(3)  identifies the group and compliance clauses,
      specified for the three application scenarios described in
      Section 3.4.

3.3.  Detailed MIB Module Walk-Through

   This section reviews the contents of the NATV2-MIB module.  The table
   descriptions include references to subsections of Section 3.1 where
   desirable to avoid repetition of that information.

3.3.1.  Textual Conventions

   The module defines four key textual conventions: ProtocolNumber,
   Natv2SubscriberIndex, Natv2InstanceIndex, and Natv2PoolIndex.
   ProtocolNumber is based on the IANA registry of protocol numbers,
   hence is potentially reusable by other MIB modules.

   Objects of type Natv2SubscriberIndex identify individual subscribers
   served by the the NAT device.  The values of these identifiers are
   administered and, in intent, are permanently associated with their
   respective subscribers.  Reuse of a value after a subscriber has been
   deleted is discouraged.  The scope of the subscriber index was
   defined to be at device rather than NAT instance level to make it
   easier to shift subscribers between instances (e.g., for load
   balancing).

   Objects of type Natv2InstanceIndex identify specific NAT instances on
   the device.  Again, these are administered values intended to be
   permanently associated with the NAT instances to which they have been
   assigned.

   Objects of type Natv2PoolIndex identify individual address pools in a
   given NAT instance.  As with the subscriber and instance index
   objects, the pool identifiers are administered and intended to be
   permanently associated with their respective pools.

3.3.2.  Notifications

   Notifications were described in Section 3.1.2.

3.3.3.  The Subscriber Table: natv2SubscriberTable

   Table natv2SubscriberTable is indexed by subscriber index.  One
   conceptual row contains information relating to a specific
   subscriber: the subscriber's internal address or prefix for
   correlation with other management information; state and statistical
   information as described in Section 3.1.3 and Section 3.1.4, the per-
   subscriber control objects described in Section 3.1.1, and
   natv2SubscriberDiscontinuityTime, which provides a timestamp of the
   latest time following which the statistics have accumulated without
   discontinuity.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   Turning back to the address information for a moment: this
   information includes the identity of the address realm in which the
   address is routable.  That enables support of an arbitrary number of
   address realms on the same NAT instance.  Address realm identifiers
   are administered values in the form of a limited-length
   SnmpAdminString.  In the absence of configuration to the contrary,
   the default realm for all internal addresses as recorded in mapping
   entries is "internal".

      The term "address realm" is defined in [RFC2663] Section 2.1 and
      reused in subsequent NAT-related documents.

   In the special case of DS-Lite [RFC6333], for unique matching of the
   subscriber data to other information in the MIB module, it is
   necessary that the address information should relate to the outer
   IPv6 header of packets going to or from the host, with the address
   realm being the one in which that IPv6 address is routable.  The
   presentation of address information for other types of tunneled
   access to the NAT is out of scope.

3.3.4.  The Instance Table: natv2InstanceTable

   Table natv2InstanceTable is indexed by an object of type
   Natv2InstanceIndex.  A conceptual row of this table provides
   information relating to a particular NAT instance configured on the
   device.

   Configuration information provided by this table includes an instance
   name of type DisplayString that may have been configured for this
   instance, and a set of objects indicating respectively the port
   mapping, filtering, pooling, and fragment behaviors configured or
   implemented in the instance.  These behaviors are all defined in
   [RFC4787].  Their values affect the interpretation of some of the
   statistics provided in the instance table.

   Read-write objects listed in Section 3.1.2 set the notification rate
   for instance-level notifications and set the thresholds that trigger
   them.  Additional read-write objects described in Section 3.1.1 set
   limits on the number of address and port mapping entries, number of
   pending fragments, and number of active subscribers for the instance.

   The state and statistical information provided by this table consists
   of the per-instance items described in Section 3.1.3 and
   Section 3.1.4 respectively. natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime is a
   timestamp giving the time beyond which all of the statistical
   counters in natv2InstanceTable are guaranteed to have accumulated
   continuously.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


3.3.5.  The Protocol Table: natv2ProtocolTable

   The protocol table is indexed by the NAT instance number and an
   object of type ProtocolNumber as described in Section 3.3.1 (i.e., an
   IANA-registered protocol number).  The set of protocols supported by
   the NAT instance is implementation-dependent, but MUST include
   ICMP(1), TCP(6), UDP(17), and ICMPv6(58).  Depending on the
   application, it SHOULD include IPv4 encapsulation(4), IPv6
   encapsulation(41), IPSec AH(51), and SCTP(132).  Support of PIM(103)
   is highly desirable.

   This table includes no configuration information.  The state and
   statistical information provided by this table consists of the per-
   protocol items described in Section 3.1.3 and Section 3.1.4
   respectively. natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime in natv2InstanceTable is
   reused as the timestamp giving the time beyond which all of the
   statistical counters in natv2ProtocolTable are guaranteed to have
   accumulated continuously.  The reasoning is that any event affecting
   the continuity of per-protocol statistics will affect the continuity
   of NAT instance statistics, and vice versa.

3.3.6.  The Address Pool Table: natv2PoolTable

   The address pool table is indexed by the NAT instance identifier for
   the instance on which it is provisioned, plus a pool index of type
   Natv2PoolIndex.  Configuration information provided includes the
   address realm for which the pool provides addresses, the type of
   address (IPv4 or IPv6) supported by the realm, plus the port range it
   makes available for allocation.  The same set of port numbers (or, in
   the ICMP case, identifier values), is made available for every
   protocol supported by the NAT instance.  The port range is specified
   in terms of minimum and maximum port number.

   The state and statistical information provided by this table consists
   of the per-pool items described in Section 3.1.3 and Section 3.1.4
   respectively, plus two additional state objects described below.
   natv2PoolTable provides the pool-specific object
   natv2PoolDiscontinuityTime to indicate the time since which the
   statistical counters have accumulated continuously.

   Read-write objects to set high and low thresholds for pool usage
   notifications and for governing notification rate were identified in
   Section 3.1.2.

      Implementation note: the thresholds are defined in terms of
      percentage of available port utilization.  The number of available
      ports in a pool is equal to (max port - min port + 1) (from the
      natv2PoolTable configuration information) multiplied by the number



Perreault, et al.       Expires November 26, 2015              [Page 15]


Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


      of addresses provisioned in the pool (sum of number of addresses
      provided by each natv2PoolRangeTable conceptual row relating to
      that pool).  At configuration time, the thresholds can be
      recalculated in terms of total number of port map entries
      corresponding to the configured percentage, so that runtime
      comparisons to the current number of port map entries require no
      further arithmetic operations.

   natv2PoolTable also provides two state objects that are returned with
   the notifications.  natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapProtocol identifies the
   most-mapped protocol at the time the notification was triggered.
   natv2PoolNotifiedPortMapEntries provides the total number of port map
   entries for that protocol using addresses owned by this pool at that
   same time.

3.3.7.  The Address Pool Address Range Table: natv2PoolRangeTable

   natv2PoolRangeTable provides configuration information only.  It is
   an expansion of natv2PoolTable giving the address ranges with which a
   given address pool has been configured.  As such, it is indexed by
   the combination of NAT instance index, address pool index, and a
   conceptual row index, where each conceptual row conveys a different
   address range.  The address range is specified in terms of lowest
   address, highest address rather than the usual prefix notation to
   provide maximum flexibility.

3.3.8.  The Address Map Table: natv2AddressMapTable

   The address map table provides a table of mappings from internal to
   external address at a given moment.  It is indexed by the combination
   of NAT instance index, internal realm, internal address type (IPv4 or
   IPv6) in that realm, the internal address of the local host for which
   the map entry was created, and a conceptual row index to traverse all
   of the entries relating to the same internal address.

   In the special case of DS-Lite [RFC6333], the internal address and
   realm used in the index are those of the IPv6 outer header.  The IPv4
   source address for the inner header, for which [RFC6333] has reserved
   addresses in the 192.0.0.0/29 range, is captured in two additional
   objects in the corresponding conceptual row:
   natv2AddressMapInternalMappedAddressType, and
   natv2AddressMapInternalMappedAddress.  In cases other than DS-Lite
   access these objects have no meaning.  (Other tunneled access is out
   of scope.)

   The additional information provided by natv2AddressMapTable consists
   of the external realm, address type in that realm, and mapped
   external address.  Depending on implementation support, the table



Perreault, et al.       Expires November 26, 2015              [Page 16]


Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   also provides the index of the address pool from which the external
   address was drawn and the index of the subscriber to which the map
   entry belongs.

3.3.9.  The Port Map Table: natv2PortMapTable

   The port map table provides a table of mappings by protocol from
   external port, address, and realm to internal port, address, and
   realm.  As such, it is indexed by the combination of NAT instance
   index, protocol number, external realm identifier, address type in
   that realm, external address, and external port.  The mapping from
   external realm, address, and port to internal realm, address, and
   port is unique, so no conceptual row index is needed.  The indexing
   is designed to make it easy to trace individual sessions back to the
   host, based on the contents of packets observed in the external
   realm.

   Beyond the indexing, the information provided by the port map table
   consists of the internal realm, address type, address, and port
   number, and, depending on implementation support, the index of the
   subscriber to which the map entry belongs.

   As with the address map table, special provision is made for the case
   of DS-Lite [RFC6333].  The realm and outgoing source address are
   those for the outer header, and the address type is IPv6.  Additional
   objects natv2PortMapInternalMappedAddressType and
   natv2PortMapInternalMappedAddress capture the outgoing source address
   in the inner header, which will be in the well-known 192.0.0.0/29
   range.

3.4.  Conformance: Three Application Scenarios

   The conformance statements in NATV2-MIB provide for three application
   scenarios: basic NAT, NAT supporting address pools, and carrier grade
   NAT (CGN).

   A basic NAT MAY limit the number of NAT instances it supports to one,
   but MUST support indexing by NAT instance.  Similarly, a basic NAT
   MAY limit the number of realms it supports to two.  By definition, a
   basic NAT is not required to support the subscriber table, the
   address pool table, or the address pool address range table.  Some
   individual objects in other tables are also not relevant to basic
   NAT.

   A NAT supporting address pools adds the address pool table and the
   address pool address range table to what it implements.  Some
   individual objects in other tables also need to be implemented.  A
   NAT supporting address pools MUST support more than two realms.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   Finally, a CGN MUST support the full contents of the MIB module.
   That includes the subscriber table, but also includes the special
   provision for DS-Lite access in the address and port map tables.

      DESCRIPTION
          "The cumulative number of packets dropped because the
           packet would have triggered the creation of a new
           port mapping, but no port could be allocated for the
           protocol concerned. The usual case for this will be
           for a NAT instance that supports address pooling and
           the 'paired' pooling behavior recommended by RFC 4787,
           where the internal endpoint has used up all of the
           ports allocated to it for the address it was mapped to
           in the selected address pool in the external realm
           concerned and cannot be given more ports because
           - policy or implementation prevents it from having a
             second address in the same pool, and
           - policy or unavailability prevents it from acquiring
             more ports at its originally assigned address.

           If the NAT instance supports address pooling but its
           pooling behavior is 'arbitrary' (meaning that
           the NAT instance can allocate a new port mapping for
           the given internal endpoint on any address in the
           selected address pool and is not bound to what it has
           already mapped for that endpoint), then this counter
           is incremented when all ports for the protocol concerned
           over the whole of the selected address pool are already
           in use.

           As a third case, if no address pools have been configured
           for the external realm concerned, then this counter is
           incremented because all ports for the protocol involved over
           the whole set of addresses available for that external realm
           are already in use.

           Finally, this counter is incremented if the packet would
           have triggered the creation of a new port mapping, but the
           current value of natv2SubscriberPortMapEntries equals or
           exceeds the value of natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries

      STATUS current
      DESCRIPTION
          "Table of NAT instances. As well as state and counter
           objects, it provides the instance index, instance name, and
           the last discontinuity time object which is applicable to
           the counters. It also contains writable thresholds for
           reporting of notifications and limits on usage of resources
           at the level of the NAT instance.

           It is assumed that NAT instances can be created and deleted
           dynamically, but this MIB module does not provide the means
           to do so. For restrictions on assignment and maintenance of
           the NAT index instance see the description of
           natv2InstanceIndex in the table below. For the requirements
           on maintenance of the values of the counters in this table
           see the description of natv2InstanceDiscontinuityTime in
           this table.

           Each NAT instance has its own resources and behavior. The
           resources include memory as reflected in space for map
           entries, processing power as reflected in the rate of map
           creation and deletion, and mappable addresses in each realm
           that can play the role of an external realm for at least
           some mappings for that instance. The NAT instance table
           includes limits and notification thresholds that relate to
           memory usage for mapping at the level of the whole instance.
           The limit on number of subscribers with active mappings is a
           limit to some extent on processor usage.

           The mappable 'external' addresses may or may not be
           organized into address pools. For a definition of address
           pools see the description of natv2PoolTable. If the instance
           does support address pools, it also has a pooling behavior.
           Mapping, filtering, and pooling behavior are defined in the
           descriptions of the natv2InstancePortMappingBehavior,
           natv2InstanceFilteringBehavior, and

          "The cumulative number of packets dropped because the
           packet would have triggered the creation of a new
           port map entry, but no port could be allocated for the
           protocol concerned. The usual case for this will be
           for a NAT instance that supports address pooling and
           the 'paired' pooling behavior recommended by RFC 4787,
           where the internal endpoint has used up all of the
           ports allocated to it for the address it was mapped to
           in the selected address pool in the external realm
           concerned and cannot be given more ports because
           - policy or implementation prevents it from having a
             second address in the same pool, and
           - policy or unavailability prevents it from acquiring
             more ports at its originally assigned address.

           If the NAT instance supports address pooling but its
           pooling behavior is 'arbitrary' (meaning that
           the NAT instance can allocate a new port mapping for
           the given internal endpoint on any address in the
           selected address pool and is not bound to what it has
           already mapped for that endpoint), then this counter
           is incremented when all ports for the protocol concerned
           over the whole of the selected address pool are already
           in use.

           Finally, if no address pools have been configured for the
           external realm concerned, then this counter is incremented
           because all ports for the protocol involved over the whole
           set of addresses available for that external realm are
           already in use.

5.  Operational and Management Considerations

   This section covers two particular areas of operations and
   management: configuration requirements, and transition from or
   coexistence with the [RFC4008] MIB module.

5.1.  Configuration Requirements

   This MIB module assumes that the following information is configured
   on the NAT device by means outside the scope of the present document
   or is imposed by the implementation:

   o  the set of address realms to which the device connects;

   o  For the CGN application, per-subscriber information including
      subscriber index, address realm, assigned prefix or address, and
      (possibly) policies regarding address pool selection in the
      various possible address realms to which the subscriber may
      connect.  In the particular case of DS-Lite [RFC6333] access, as
      well as the assigned outer layer (IPv6) prefix or address, the
      subscriber information will include an inner (IPv4) source
      address, usually 192.0.0.2.

   o  the set of NAT instances running on the device, identified by NAT
      instance index and name;

   o  the port mapping, filtering, pooling, and fragment behavior for
      each NAT instance;

   o  the set of protocols supported by each NAT instance;

   o  for the pooled NAT and CGN applications, address pool information
      for each NAT instance, including for each pool the pool index,
      address realm, address type, minimum and maximum port number, the
      address ranges assigned to that pool, and policies for access to
      that pool's resources;

   o  static address and port map entries.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   As described in previous sections, this MIB module does provide read-
   write objects for control of notifications (see especially
   Section 3.1.2) and limiting of resource consumption (Section 3.1.1).
   This document is written in advance of any practical experience with
   the setting of these values, and can thus provide only general
   principles for how to set them.

   By default, the MIB module definition disables notifications until
   they are explicitly enabled by the operator, using the associated
   threshold value to do so.  To make use of the notifications, the
   operator may wish to take the following considerations into account.

   Except for the low address pool utilization notification, the
   notifications imply that some sort of administrative action is
   required to mitigate an impending shortage of a particular resource.
   The choice of value for the triggering threshold needs to take two
   factors into account: the volatility of usage of the given resource,
   and the amount of time the operator needs to mitigate the potential
   overload situation.  That time could vary from almost immediate to
   several weeks required to order and install new hardware or software.

   To give a numeric example, if average utilization is going up 1% per
   week but can vary 10% around that average in any given hour, and it
   takes two weeks to carry through mitigating measures, the threshold
   should be set to 88% of the corresponding limit (two weeks' growth
   plus 10% volatility margin).  If mitigating measures can be carried
   out immediately, this can rise to 90%. For this particular example
   that change is insignificant, but in other cases the difference may
   be large enough to matter in terms of reduced load on the management
   plane.

   The notification rate limit settings really depend on the operator's
   processes, but are a tradeoff between reliably reporting the notified
   condition and not having it overload the management plane.
   Reliability rises in importance with the importance of the resource
   involved.  Thus the default notification intervals defined in this
   MIB module range from 10 seconds (high reliability) for the address
   and port map entry thresholds up to 60 seconds (lower reliability)
   for the per-subscriber port entry thresholds.  Experience may suggest
   better values.

   The limits on number of instance-level address map and port map
   entries and held fragments relate directly to memory allocations for
   these tables.  The relationship between number of map entries or
   number of held fragments and memory required will be implementation-
   specific.  Hence it is up to the implementor to provide specific
   advice on the setting of these limits.

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


   The limit on simultaneous number of active subscribers is indirectly
   related to memory consumption for map entries, but also to processor
   usage by the NAT instance.  The best strategy for setting this limit
   would seem to be to leave it disabled during an initial period while
   observing device processor utilization, then to implement a trial
   setting while observing the number of blocked packets affected by the
   new limit.  The setting may vary by NAT instance if a suitable
   estimator of likely load (e.g., total number of hosts served by that
   instance) is available.

5.2.  Transition From and Coexistence With NAT-MIB [RFC 4008]

   A manager may have to deal with a mixture of devices supporting the
   NAT-MIB module [RFC4008] and the NATV2-MIB module defined in the
   present document.  It is even possible that both modules are
   supported on the same device.  The following discussion brings out
   the limits of comparability between the two MIB modules.  A first
   point to note is that NAT-MIB is primarily focussed on configuration,
   while NATV2-MIB is primarily focussed on measurements.

   To summarize the model used by [RFC4008]:

   o  The basic unit of NAT configuration is the interface.

   o  An interface connects to a single realm, either "private", or
      "public".  In principle that means there could be multiple
      instances of one type of realm or the other, but the number is
      physically limited by the number of interfaces on the NAT device.

   o  Before the NAT can operate on a given interface, an "address map"
      has to be configured on it.  The [RFC4008] address map is
      equivalent to the pool tables in the present document.  Since just
      one "address map" is configured per interface, this is the
      equivalent of a single address pool per interface.

   o  The address binding and port binding tables are roughly equivalent
      to the address map and port map tables in the present document in
      their content, but can be either uni- directional or
      bidirectional.  The [RFC4008] model shows the address binding and
      port binding as alternative precursors to session establishment,
      depending on whether the device does address translation only or
      address and port translation.  In contrast, NATV2-MIB assumes a
      model where bidirectional port mappings are based on bidirectional
      address mappings that have conceptually been established
      beforehand.

   o  The equivalent to an [RFC4008] session in NATV2-MIB would be a
      pair of port map entries.  The added complexity in [RFC4008] is

Internet-Draft                   NAT MIB                        May 2015


      due to the modelling of NAT service types as defined in [RFC3489]
      (the symmetric NAT in particular) instead of the more granular set
      of behaviors described in [RFC4787].

   With regard to that last point, the mapping between [RFC3489] service
   types and [RFC4787] NAT behaviours is as follows:

   o  A full cone NAT exhibits endpoint-independent port mapping
      behavior and endpoint-independent filtering behavior.

   o  A restricted cone NAT exhibits endpoint-independent port mapping
      behavior, but address-dependent filtering behavior.

   o  A port restricted cone NAT exhibits endpoint-independent port
      mapping behavior, but address-and-port-dependent filtering
      behavior.

   o  A symmetric NAT exhibits address-and-port-dependent port mapping
      and filtering behaviors.

   Note that these NAT types are a subset of the types that could be
   configured according to the [RFC4787] behavioral classification used
   in NATV2-MIB, but they include the two possibilities (full and
   restricted cone NAT) that satisfy requirements REQ-1 and REQ-8 of
   [RFC4787].  Note further that other behaviors defined in [RFC4787]
   are not considered in [RFC4008].

   Having established a context for discussion, we are now in a position
   to compare the outputs provided to management from the [RFC4008] and
   NATV2-MIB modules.  This comparison relates to the ability to compare
   results if testing with both MIBs implemented on the same device
   during a transition period.

   [RFC4008] provides three counters: incoming translations, outgoing
   translations, and discarded packets, at the granularities of
   interface, address map, and protocol, and incoming and outgoing
   translations at the levels of individual address bind, address port
   bind, and session entries.  Implementation at the protocol and
   address map levels is optional.  NATV2-MIB provides a single total
   (both directions) translations counter at the instance, protocol
   within instance, and subscriber levels.  Given the differences in
   granularity, it appears that the only comparable measurement of
   translations between the two MIB modules would be through aggregation
   of the [RFC4008] interface counters to give a total number of
   translations for the NAT instance.

   NATV2-MIB has broken out the single discard counter into a number of
   different counters reflecting the cause of the discard in more

   detail, to help in trouble-shooting.  Again, with the differing
   levels of granularity, the only comparable statistic would be through
   aggregation to a single value of total discards per NAT instance.

   Moving on to state variables, [RFC4008] offers counts of number of
   "address map" (i.e., address pool) entries used (excluding static
   entries) at the address map level, and number of entries in the
   address bind and address and port bind tables respectively.  Finally,
   [RFC4008] provides a count of the number of sessions currently using
   each entry in the address and port bind table.  None of these counts
   are directly comparable with the state values offered by NATV2-MIB,
   because of the exclusion of static entries at the address map level,
   and because of the differing models of the translation tables between
   [RFC4008] and the NATV2=MIB.

6.  Security Considerations

   A number of management objects defined in this MIB module have a MAX-
   ACCESS clause of read-write.  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:

   Limits:  An attacker setting a very low or very high limit can easily
      cause a denial-of-service situation.

      *  natv2InstanceLimitAddressMapEntries;

      *  natv2InstanceLimitPortMapEntries;

      *  natv2InstanceLimitPendingFragments;

      *  natv2InstanceLimitSubscriberActives;

      *  natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries.

   Notification thresholds:  An attacker setting an arbitrarily low
      threshold can cause many useless notifications to be generated
      (subject to the notification interval).  Setting an arbitrarily
      high threshold can effectively disable notifications, which could
      be used to hide another attack.

      *  natv2InstanceThresholdAddressMapEntriesHigh;

      *  natv2InstanceThresholdPortMapEntriesHigh;

      *  natv2PoolThresholdUsageLow;

      *  natv2PoolThresholdUsageHigh;

      *  natv2SubscriberThresholdPortMapEntriesHigh.

   Notification intervals:  An attacker setting a low notification
      interval in combination with a low threshold value can cause many
      useless notifications to be generated.

      *  natv2InstanceNotificationInterval;

      *  natv2PoolNotificationInterval;

      *  natv2SubscriberNotificationInterval.

   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:

   Objects that reveal host identities:  Various objects can reveal the
      identity of private hosts that are engaged in a session with
      external end nodes.  A curious outsider could monitor these to
      assess the number of private hosts being supported by the NAT
      device.  Further, a disgruntled former employee of an enterprise
      could use the information to break into specific private hosts by
      intercepting the existing sessions or originating new sessions
      into the host.

      *  entries in the natv2AddressMapTable;

      *  entries in the natv2PortMapTable.

   Other objects that reveal NAT state:  Other managed objects in this
      MIB may contain information that may be sensitive from a business
      perspective, in that they may represent NAT capabilities, business
      policies, and state information.

      *  natv2SubscriberLimitPortMapEntries;

      *  natv2InstancePortMappingBehavior;

      *  natv2InstanceFilteringBehavior;

      *  natv2InstancePoolingBehavior;

      *  natv2InstanceFragmentBehavior;

      *  natv2InstanceAddressMapEntries;

      *  natv2InstancePortMapEntries.

   There are no objects that are sensitive in their own right, such as
   passwords or monetary amounts.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
   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.

   Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the
   SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming
   compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for
   authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
   [RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826].  Implementations
   MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
   [RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
   [RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].

   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.

7.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to assign an object identifier to the natv2MIB
   module, with prefix iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 in the Network
   Management Parameters registry [SMI-NUMBERS].
