I'm aware that the WG last call deadline was August 12th and that
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-ops-02.txt
has now replaced the above-mentioned document. However, in an
off-line e-mail exchange Pekka Savola encouraged me to send comments
even if they would be late, so I offer the following comments on the
-02 draft.
In general, this draft is on the right track, and the author/editor
deserve much thanks for all the work they put in to create the
document, but in my opinion there are quite a few minor issues that
need to be resolved before it is published. Comments are inserted
in-line with the text of the draft, which is indicated by a vertical
bar in the left margin. Proposed replacement text is has no
vertical bar but is always indented relative to the commentary.
| 2.0 Document Organization
|
| The document is organized as described below:
|
| Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 each describe the raw analysis of Full, Draft,
| and Proposed Standards, and Experimental RFCs. Each RFC is discussed in
| its turn starting with RFC 1 and ending with RFC 3247. The comments for
| each RFC is "raw" in nature. That is, each RFC is discussed in a
| vacuum and problems or issues discussed do not "look ahead" to see if
| the problems have already been fixed.
|
| Section 7 is an analysis of the data presented in Sections 3, 4, 5, and
| 6. It is here that all of the results are considered as a whole and the
| problems that have been resolved in later RFCs are correlated.
There are some important technical specifications that do not fall
into any of these classifications. For instance, RFC 1215, which is
part of the (obsolescent) SMIv1 specification, is an Informational
RFC. And RFC 3584 (the coexistence document that replaces RFC 2576)
is a BCP. I'm not aware of any other such specs, but some may
exist. Certainly it behooves us to include at least those two in the
survey. One possible way to handle RFC 1215 would be to include it
in Sections 3 and 7 along with its companion SMIv1 documents (RFCs
1155 and 1212). I'm not really sure what to do for RFC 3584; maybe a
separate section for BCPs would be appropriate. One thing for sure,
it would not be a good idea to lump all non-standards-track stuff
(BCP + informational + experimental) together.
| 3.0 Full Standards
|
| Full Internet Standards (most commonly simply referred to as
| "Standards") are fully mature protocol specification that are widely
| implemented and used throughout the Internet.
|
|
| 3.1 RFC 1157 Simple Network Management Protocol
|
| Beginning in Section 3.2.6.3.2 atTable Object Type Names thru the rest
| of Section 3 there are numerous references to the use of IPv4 addresses
| as part of OIDs.
|
| Section 4. Protocol Specification specifies the format of an SNMP
| packet which uses the overall format of:
|
| RFC1157-SNMP DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
| IMPORTS
| ObjectName, ObjectSyntax, NetworkAddress, IpAddress, TimeTicks
| FROM RFC1155-SMI;
|
|
| Section 4.1.3.1. Example of Table Traversal has many uses of IPv4
| addresses in its example of table transversal.
|
| Section 5. Definitions reiterates the use of IPv4 addresses.
|
| RFC1157-SNMP DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
|
| IMPORTS
| ObjectName, ObjectSyntax, NetworkAddress, IpAddress, TimeTicks
| FROM RFC1155-SMI;
As previously noted by Juergen Schoenwaelder, RFC 1157 is HISTORIC
(i.e., is no longer an Internet Standard) and should therefore be
excluded from the survey.
| 3.2 RFC 1155 Structure of Management Information
|
| Section 3.2.3.2. IpAddress defines the following:
|
| This application-wide type represents a 32-bit internet address. It
| is represented as an OCTET STRING of length 4, in network byte-order.
|
| There are several instances of the use of this definition in the rest of
| the document.
There should also be a subsection for RFC 1212, and perhaps also RFC
1215, since RFCs 1155 and 1212 form STD 16, and together with RFC
1215 define SMIv1.
| 3.3 RFC 1213 Management Information Base
|
| There are far too many instances of IPv4 addresses is this document
| to enumerate here. Clearly the entire IP OID sub tree is rife with
| IPv4 dependencies. A new sub tree needs to be defined to deal with
| IPv6 addresses leaving the current sub tree intact for IPv4 address
| information.
The above paragraph contains the first of many instances where the
term "OID" is misused. It is an abbreviation meaning "object
identifier," and is NOT the same thing as an object definition, a
textual convention, or any SMI construct other than an object
identifier. I am sorry to be so picky but I find this abuse of
terminology really annoying, and I'll be asking that it be fixed
everywhere I see it below. In addition, it is useful for the sake
of later analysis to identify the problems in this MIB module a
little more concretely. Here is the proposed rewrite:
There are far too many instances of IPv4 addresses is this document
to enumerate here. The particular object groups that are affected
are the IP group, the ICMP group, the TCP group, the UDP group,
and the EGP group.
| 3.4 RFC 1643 Definitions of Managed Objects for the Ethernet-like
| Interface Types
|
| There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
In the recent protocol action which elevated the following documents
to Proposed Standard:
o draft-ietf-hubmib-etherif-mib-v3-03.txt
o draft-ietf-hubmib-mau-mib-v3-04.txt
o draft-ietf-hubmib-wis-mib-07.txt
the IESG also approved the following as an informational RFC:
o draft-ietf-hubmib-1643-to-historic-01.txt
and reclassified RFC 1643 to HISTORIC as it recommends. I therefore
suggest that RFC 1643 be dropped from this survey.
| 3.5 RFC 2578 Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)
|
| Section 7.1.5. IpAddress defines:
Rewrite the above sentence as:
Section 7.1.5 defines the IpAddress data type:
| The IpAddress type represents a 32-bit internet address. It is
| represented as an OCTET STRING of length 4, in network byte-order.
|
| Note that the IpAddress type is a tagged type for historical reasons.
| Network addresses should be represented using an invocation of the
| TEXTUAL-CONVENTION macro.
|
| Note the deprecated status of this type; see RFC 3291 for details on
| TEXTUAL-CONVENTION macro.
Rewrite the last sentence as:
Note the deprecated status of this type; see RFC 3291 for details on
the replacement TEXTUAL-CONVENTION definitions.
| 3.6 RFC 2579 Textual Conventions for SMIv2
|
| There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
There is no mention of RFC 2580 (which is also an OPS Area Internet
Standard). I don't think there are any IPv4 dependencies in RFC 2580,
but it should be mentioned here for sake of completeness.
| 3.7 RFC 2819 Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base
| (RMON-MIB)
|
| There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
RFCs 3411, 3412, 3413, 3414, and 3415 are also Internet Standards;
they replace RFCs 2571, 2572, 2573, 2574, and 2575. Please move
the sections for those last five RFCs here and update the RFC numbers.
| 3.8 RFC 3416 Protocol Operations for Version 2 of the Simple Network
| Management Protocol (SNMPv2) (OPS-MIB)
Remove "(OPS-MIB)" ... the mnemonic is misleading, as this document
does not contain a MIB module. See also the note below.
| Section 4.2.2.1. Example of Table Traversal and Section 4.2.3.1.
| Another Example of Table Traversal both use OID's from MIB2 whose
| data contains IPv4 addresses. Other than their use in these example

Please correct this usage error: s/OID's/objects/
| 3.9 RFC 3417 Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network
| Management Protocol (SNMPv2) (TRANS-MIB)
NOTE: I would like to suggest that it is more useful in the case
of standards that contain a single MIB module to use the MIB module
names instead of the sometimes strange and seldom-used mnemonics
that are listed in STD 1, Official Internet Protocol Standards.
I will be making this suggestion for each spec that contains a
single MIB module; in the present case the change would be:
s/TRANS-MIB/SNMPv2-TM/
| Section 2 Definitions contains the following OID definition:
Please correct this usage error: s/OID definition/definition/

The last sentence is incorrect: there are NO IPv4 dependencies in the
actual MIB objects, only in some explanatory text describing how
table entries in the MIB module might relate to entries in MIB-II's
ipAddrTable. This relationship is expressed by ifIndex values, not by
IP address values. Ergo, rewrite:

| This clearly points out a lack of IPv6 awareness in this specification.
That last sentence is incorrect. The presence of this stuff
is not because the specification has a lack of IPv6 awareness;
it is there because it is necessary to allow a MIB translator
or a proxy forwarder to do its job ... and that job is to allow
legacy versions of the SNMP (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, both now Historic
protocols) to coexist with SNMPv3. I think Randy Presuhn has
complained about this before. Here is the suggested replacement:
Since purpose of this document is to describe how legacy
specifications with IPv4 dependencies (SMIv1, SNMPv1, and
SNMPv2c) can coexist with current ones (SMIv2 and SNMPv3),
the IPv4 dependencies documented above are acceptable and,
indeed, unavoidable.
In addition, note that RFC 2576 has been replaced by RFC 3584,

| 5.071 RFC 2564 Application Management MIB (APP-MIB)
|
| The following OID is defined:
|
| ApplTAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
| STATUS current
| DESCRIPTION
| "Denotes a transport service address.
|
| For snmpUDPDomain, an ApplTAddress is 6 octets long,
| the initial 4 octets containing the IP-address in
| network-byte order and the last 2 containing the UDP
| port in network-byte order. Consult 'Transport Mappings
| for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol
| (SNMPv2)' for further information on snmpUDPDomain."
| SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..255))

| 5.072 RFC 2576 Coexistence between Version 1 Version 2 and Version
| 3 of the Internet-standard Network Management Framework (SNMP)
|
| This document states:
|
| (11) For any object with a SYNTAX of NetworkAddress, the SYNTAX MUST
| be changed to IpAddress. Note that the use of NetworkAddress in
| new MIB documents is strongly discouraged (in fact, new MIB
| documents should be written using SMIv2, which does not define
| NetworkAddress).
|
| and defines the OID:
|
| snmpTrapAddress OBJECT-TYPE
| SYNTAX IpAddress

| STATUS current
| DESCRIPTION
| "The value of the agent-addr field of a Trap PDU which
| is forwarded by a proxy forwarder application using
| an SNMP version other than SNMPv1. The value of this
| object SHOULD contain the value of the agent-addr field
| from the original Trap PDU as generated by an SNMPv1
| agent."

| The only objects in the version of RPSL that deal with IP addresses

| <ipv4-address> An IPv4 address is represented as a sequence of four
| integers in the range from 0 to 255 separated by the character dot

| In the rest of this document, we may refer to IPv4 addresses as IP
| addresses.
|

| 128.9.128.5/32, 128.9.0.0/16, 0.0.0.0/0; and the following address
| prefixes are invalid: 0/0, 128.9/16 since 0 or 128.9 are not

| DESCRIPTION
| "The transport service address by which the logical entity

The statement that the TAddress SYNTAX value "contains IPv4
assumptions" is actually not correct. The TDomain/TAddress types
allow for arbitrary transport domains and addresses to be
represented. It is true that the DESCRIPTION clause quoted above
spells out details only for snmpUDPDomain, but that does not mean
that entLogicalTDomain and entLogicalTAddress can't represent IPv6
transport domains and addresses. See RFC 2579 and RFC 3419 for
further information. I therefore propose to replace the preceding
two paragraphs with this:

| DESCRIPTION
| "Specifies the size of the data portion of a traceroute

| yields a maximum of 65507 octets."

| MAX-ACCESS read-create
| STATUS current
| DESCRIPTION
| "The address to which RTP packets are sent by the RTP system.
| In an IP multicast RTP session, this is the single address used
| by all senders and receivers of RTP session data. In a unicast
| RTP session this is the unicast address of the remote RTP system.
| 'The destination address pair may be common for all participants,
| as in the case of IP multicast, or may be different for each, as
| in the case of individual unicast network address pairs.' See
| RFC 1889, 'RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications,'

| have to recognize that there are a number of older
| MIBs that do contain an IPv4 format address, known
| as IpAddress.

| IPv6 addresses are represented using TAddress or

| ::= { nlmLogVariableEntry 9 }
|
|
| Not withstanding the note in the DESCRIPTION.
THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN IPv4 DEPENDENCY. As explained in
previous comments to one of the authors, this MIB module has
the means to represent in a log ANY object syntax that is
allowed by the SNMP and the SMI. The fact that it can
represent objects of type IpAddress in a log does NOT make it
IPv4-specific or IPv6-unfriendly, as the last paragraph in
the above DESCRIPTION clause makes amply clear. So, please

| 7.0 Summary of Results
|
| In the initial survey of RFCs 41 positives were identified out of a
| total of 163, broken down as follows:
|
| Standards 6 of 10 or 60.00%
| Draft Standards 3 of 18 or 16.67%
| Proposed Standards 31 of 121 or 25.62%
| Experimental RFCs 1 of 14 or 7.14%
|
| Of those identified many require no action because they document
| outdated and unused protocols, while others are document protocols
| that are actively being updated by the appropriate working groups.
| Additionally there are many instances of standards that should be
| updated but do not cause any operational impact if they are not
| updated. The remaining instances are documented below.
This may need to be updated based on corrections above.
I've not checked it.
| 7.1 Standards
|
|
| 7.1.1 STD 15 Simple Network Management Protocol (RFCs 1157, 1155, 1213)
|
| The limitations identified have been addressed; RFC 1157 is HISTORIC,
| RFC1155 is obsoleted by RFC 2578-2580, and RFC1213 has been split to
| multiple modules which have been seen to.
The above actually concerns three separate STDs.
STD 15, RFC 1157, is SNMPv1, but it has been retired ... that is, it has
been reclassified as HISTORIC and therefore is no longer an Internet
Standard. So it should be dropped from the survey.
STD 16, RFCs 1155 and 1212, is SMIv1. Officially it's still in force,
although it's no longer used for new work. Note that RFC 1215 is part
of the same document set, although it is an Informational RFC.
STD 17, RFC 1213, is MIB-II. Officially it's still in force, but the
parts which are still relevant have been or are being replaced.
So I would suggest replacing the above with something along these lines:
7.1.1 STD 16, Structure of Management Information (RFCs 1155 and 1212)
RFCs 1155 and RFCs 1212 (along with the informational document RFC
1215) define SMIv1. These documents have been superseded by RFCs
2578, 2579, and 2580 which define SMIv2. Since SMIv1 is no longer
being used as the basis for new IETF MIB modules, the limitations
identified in this Internet Standard do not require any action.
7.1.2 STD 17, Management Information Base MIB II (RFC 1213)
The limitations identified are being addressed: the IP group,
the ICMP group, the TCP group, and the UDP group are being
replaced by IP version-independent MIB modules now in development
in the IPv6 working group (for more details see the entries
below for RFCs 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2096). No replacement is
being contemplated for the EGP group because EGP is a historic
protocol that is no longer in significant use in the Internet.
| 7.2 Draft Standards
|
|
| 7.2.1 BGP4 MIB (RFC 1657)
|
| This problem is currently being addressed by the Inter Domain Routing
| (IDR) WG and an ID exists (draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mib-09.txt).
s/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mib-09.txt/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mib-11.txt/
| 7.2.2 SMDS MIB (RFC 1694)
|
| See Section 7.1.22. Once a specification for IPv6 over SMDS is
| created a new MIB must be defined.
Where is Section 7.1.22? I agree with the 2nd sentence, BTW, if
"must" is changed to "should"; it stands alone quite nicely.
| 7.2.3 RIPv2 MIB (RFC 1724)
|
| See Section 7.1.24. This problem is currently being addressed by the
| RIP WG and an ID exists (draft-ietf-rip-mib-01.txt).
Where is Section 7.1.24? I agree with the 2nd sentence, except
that the draft is now draft-ietf-rip-mib-01.txt; it stands alone
quite nicely.
| 7.2.4 OSPFv2 MIB (RFC 1850)
|
| This problem is currently being addressed by the OSPF WG and an ID
| exists (draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-mib-04.txt).
s/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-mib-04.txt/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-mib-07.txt/
| 7.2.5 Transport MIB (RFC 1906)
s/Transport MIB/Transport Mappings for SNMP/
s/1906/3417/
| The problem has been fixed in RFC 2454, IPv6 Management Information
| Base for the User Datagram Protocol.
RFC 1906 has been replaced by 3417, and RFC 2454 is irrelevant. So,
move this section to the Full Standards part, change the section
heading, to point to RFC 3417, and rewrite the text as follows:
The limitations of this specification have been addressed by RFC
3419, which defines TCs that can be used to specify transport
domains in an IP version-independent way. RFC 3419 recommends that
those TCs be used in place of SnmpUDPAddress when IPv6 support is
required and for all new applications that are not SNMP-specific.
| 7.2.6 Frame Relay MIB (RFC 2115)
|
| The problem has been fixed in RFC 2954, Definitions of Managed Objects
| for Frame Relay Service.
This section should be deleted. As noted above, there is actually
no problem with RFC 2115 to begin with; and anyway, 2115 is the
MIB module for Frame Relay DTEs whilst 2954 is the MIB module for
the Frame Relay service implemented on network elements.
| 7.3 Proposed Standards
|
|
| 7.3.01 MIB for Multiprotocol Interconnect over X.25 (RFC 1461)
|
| This problem has not been addressed. A new specification should
| be created.
rewrite:
This problem has not been addressed. If a user requirement for
IPv6 over X.25 develops (which is thought to be unlikely) then
this MIB module will need to be updated in order to accomodate it.
Note that the analysis in Section 6 suggests that a whole new MIB
module isn't necessary, just updates to some object definitions.
| 7.3.02 PPP IPCP MIB (RFC 1473)
|
| There is no updated MIB to cover the problems outlined. A new MIB
| must be defined.
s/must/should/
| 7.3.03 DNS Server MIB (RFC 1611)
|
| This document is HISTORIC and no action is required.
If it's HISTORIC it's not a Proposed Standard anymore.
Drop it from the survey.
| 7.3.04 DNS Resolver MIB (RFC 1612)
|
| This document is HISTORIC and no action is required.
If it's HISTORIC it's not a Proposed Standard anymore.
Drop it from the survey.
| 7.3.05 Appletalk MIB (RFC 1742)
|
| The problems have not been addressed and a new MIB should be defined.
rewrite:
This problem has not been addressed. If a user requirement for
IPv6 over Appletalk develops (which is thought to be unlikely)
then this MIB module will need to be updated (or a new MIB module
will need to be created) in order to accomodate it.
| 7.3.06 The Definitions of Managed Objects for IP Mobility
| Support using SMIv2 (RFC 2006)
|
| The problems are being resolved by the Mobile IP WG and there is
| an ID (draft-ietf-mobileip-rfc2006bis-00.txt)
s/draft-ietf-mobileip-rfc2006bis-00.txt/draft-ietf-mobileip-rfc2006bis-02.txt/
| 7.3.07 SMIv2 MIB IP (RFC 2011)
s/SMIv2 MIB IP/SMIv2 IP MIB/
| The problems have been addressed in RFC 2851, Textual Conventions
| for Internet Network Addresses, and RFC 2465, Management Information
| Base for IP Version 6: Textual Conventions and General Group.
RFC 2851 has been replaced by RFC 3291, and RFC 2465 is going to be
replaced because implementation experience has indicated that it was
the wrong approach. I therefore recommend that the above paragraph
be rewritten as follows:
This issue is being resolved by the IPv6 WG and there is an
ID (draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2011-update-03.txt).
Note: please insert the tag for the latest version of the I-D;
my understanding is that -04 is expected "any day now" with
changes to resolve WG last call comments.
| 7.3.08 SNMPv2 MIB TCP (RFC 2012)
s/SNMPv2 MIB TCP/SMIv2 TCP MIB/
| The problems have been addressed in RFC 2452, IPv6 Management
| Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol.
RFC 2452 is headed to the dustbin, so pls rewrite:
This issue is being resolved by the IPv6 WG and there is an
ID (draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2012-update-03.txt).
Note: insert that tag for the latest version of the I-D;
my understanding is that -04 is expected "any day now" with
changes to resolve WG last call comments.
| 7.3.09 SNMPv2 MIB UDP (RFC 2013)
s/SNMPv2 MIB UDP/SMIv2 UDP MIB/
| The problems have been addressed in RFC 2454, IPv6 Management
| Information Base for the User Datagram Protocol.
RFC 2454 is headed for dustbin, so pls rewrite:
This issue is being resolved by the IPv6 WG.
At this time there is no I-D: draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2013-update-00.txt
did exist but it has expired. A new version has been promised;
the main obstacle is lack of an editor (volunteers welcome).
| 7.3.10 RMON MIB (RFC 2021)?
s/RMON MIB/RMON-II MIB/
remove question mark
| The problems have been addressed in RFC 2819, Remote Network
| Monitoring Management Information Base.
That is false: RFC 2021 is RMON-II, and RFC 2819 is the full
standard version of RMON-I (formerly RFCs 1271 and 1757). There
is a work underway to update RFC 2021, however; so the correct
statement is probably this:
This issue is being resolved by the RMONMIB WG and there is an
ID (draft-ietf-rmonmib-rmon2-v2-00.txt).
In fact draft-ietf-rmonmib-rmon2-v2-00.txt doesn't actually address
the problem but I have raised the issue on the RMONMIB mailing list.
| 7.3.11 DataLink Switching using SMIv2 MIB (RFC 2022)
s/2022/2024/
Note: RFC 2022 is the multicast over ATM spec (MARS and so on)
| The problems have not been addressed and a new MIB should be
| defined.
s/a new/an updated/
| 7.3.12 IP Forwarding Table MIB (RFC 2096)
|
| This issue is being worked on by the IPv6 WG and an ID exists to

s/draft-ietf-ipngwg-rfc2096-update-00.txt/draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2096-update-05.txt/
(it was posted on 29 Aug 2003, should be listed on IPv6 WG charter page by now)
| 7.3.13 Classical IP & ARP over ATM MIB (RFC 2320)
|
| The problems identified are not addressed and a new MIB must be
| defined.
The previous paragraph should be rewritten along the following
lines:
The current version of Classical IP and ARP over ATM (RFC xxxx)
does not support IPv6. If and when that protocol specification
is updated to add IPv6 support, then new MIB objects to represent
IPv6 addresses will need to be added to this MIB module.
| 7.3.14 Multicast over UNI 3.0/3.1 ATM MIB (RFC 2417)
|
| The problems identified are not addressed and a new MIB must be
| defined.
The previous paragraph should be rewritten along the following
lines:
The current version of Multicast over UNI 3.0/3.1 ATM (RFC
xxxx) does not support IPv6. If and when that protocol
specification is updated to add IPv6 support, then new MIB
objects to represent IPv6 addresses will need to be added to
this MIB module.
| 7.3.15 ATM MIB (RFC 2515)
|
| The problems identified are not addressed and a new MIB must be
| defined.
rewrite:
The AToM MIB WG is currently collecting implementation reports for RFC
2515 and is considering whether to advance, revise, or retire this
specification. The problems identified have been brought to the
attention of the WG.
I know that last sentence is true, since I just sent a message to that
effect to atommib@research.telcordia.com :-)
| 7.3.16 TN3270 MIB (RFC 2562)
|
| The problems identified are not addressed and a new MIB may be
| defined.
rewrite:
The problems identified are not being addressed and a new MIB
module may need to be defined.
| 7.3.17 Application MIB (RFC 2564)
|
| The problems identified are not addressed and a new MIB may be
| defined.
| One possible solution is to use RFC 3419 TCs.
rewrite:
The problems identified are not being addressed and a new MIB
module may need to be defined. One possible solution might be
to use the RFC 3419 TCs.
| 7.3.18 Coexistence of SNMP v1, v2, & v3 (RFC 2576)
|
| There are no real issues that can be resolved.
rewrite:
There are no issues that need to be resolved.
Note also that the coex doc is now RF 3584, which is a BCP.
