8、ce between a transport resource control physical entity and a transport physical entity: SNMP alternative Summary Recommendation ITU-T Q.3304.2 specifies the profile of a variant of the resource control protocol No. 4 (rcp4) that uses the simple network management protocol (SNMP) at the Rc interface

9、, i.e., between the transport resource control physical entity (TRC-PE) and the transport physical entity (T-PE) in the resource and admission control functional block. This protocol operates across the Rc reference point, as defined in Recommendation ITU-T Y.2111. The interface is used for checking

10、 the network topology and resource status information of an access or a core network.

ITU-T Q.3304.2 (08/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is

11、the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing R

12、ecommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.

13、The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Adm

14、inistration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and

15、compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendat

16、ion is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claim

17、ed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recomme

31、 to collect network topology and resource status information about an access or a core network.

33、 where the TRC-PE acts as an SNMP manager and the transport elements are SNMP agents. The TRC-PE issues the SNMP-get (resource query message) to the T-PE and collects the resource information by retrieving interface information. If a change has occurred in the operational status or administrative st

34、atus at the interfaces of the T-PE, the change is reported by the SNMP-trap (resource state report message) issued by the T-PE, and the TRC-PE then updates its resource information. 8 Protocols and messages 8.1 Resource query message The TRC-PE collects interface information by issuing the SNMP-get

35、to transport elements, as shown in IETF RFC 3416. The interface information to be retrieved corresponds to the object IDs (OIDs) under OID:1.3.6.1.2.1. The management information bases (MIBs) and OIDs associated with SNMP-get are shown in Appendix I. 8.2 Resource state report message The change in t

36、he operational status at the interfaces of the transport element is reported to the TRC-PE by the SNMP-trap IETF RFC 3416. The generic SNMP-trap can be used for resource state report messages. SNMP-traps with generic trap Type 2 (linkDown) and generic trap Type 3 (linkUp) are utilized. The OIDs asso

37、ciated with the SNMP-trap are shown in Appendix I. 9 Security considerations There might be several possible security threats at the Rc interface, such as denial of service (DoS), message disclosure by unauthorized snooping, and unauthorized message creation and modification. In general, an attacker

38、 can surreptitiously intercept information, attempt to create unauthorized information, and/or send modified or reordered information. There might be a risk that an attacker can impersonate an SNMP manager and illicitly acquire and tamper with the information. Even though the information is encrypte

39、d, a reply attack might be possible. For these security threats, operators need to be aware that no sufficient authentication and encryption mechanisms are provided between the SNMP manager (TRC-PE) and SNMP agents (T-PE) in the SNMP version 2 framework. To minimize the risk, the SNMP entity needs t

40、o be properly configured so that only authorized SNMP managers and agents can access information and exchange it with each other. Particular attention to the credence and information integrity is necessary. Therefore, it is recommended that the implementers consider security features, such as authen

41、tication and encryption mechanisms, at the application level in the case where SNMP messages are open to an insecure domain in order to prevent possibilities of attacks from such a domain. At the same time, operators need to consider physical and/or logical SNMP traffic separation, packet filtering

42、from an unauthorized SNMP manager (TRC-PE) and SNMP agents (T-PE). Operators should note that a long-term solution would be to consider implementing the SNMP version 3 framework and its security control model described in b-IETF RFC 3414 and b-IETF RFC 3415. However, that is outside of the scope of
