1.  Introduction

   Editor's note (to be removed prior to publication): This draft is to
   be published as RFC after ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib has become RFC.  The
   RFC Editor is asked to replace references to ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib by
   references to the corresponding RFC.  In the YANG module (Section 6),
   occurrences of "yyyy" shall be replaced by the RFC number of
   draft-ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib.  In the YANG module (Section 6) and in
   Section 9, occurrences of "xxxx" shall be replaced by the RFC number
   of this document.

   IPFIX and PSAMP compliant Monitoring Devices (routers, switches,
   monitoring probes, Collectors etc.) offer various configuration
   possibilities that allow adapting network monitoring to the goals and
   purposes of the application, such as accounting and charging, traffic
   analysis, performance monitoring, security monitoring.  The use of a
   common vendor-independent configuration data model for IPFIX and
   PSAMP compliant Monitoring Devices facilitates network management and
   configuration, especially if Monitoring Devices of different
   implementers or manufacturers are deployed simultaneously.  On the
   one hand, a vendor-independent configuration data model helps storing
   and managing the configuration data of Monitoring Devices in a
   consistent format.  On the other hand, it can be used for local and
   remote configuration of Monitoring Devices.

   The purpose of this document is the specification of a vendor-
   independent configuration data model that covers the commonly
   available configuration parameters of Selection Processes, Caches,
   Exporting Processes, and Collecting Processes.  In addition, it
   includes common states parameters of a Monitoring Device.  The
   configuration data model is defined using UML (Unified Modeling
   Language) class diagrams [UML] while the actual configuration data is
   encoded in Extensible Markup Language (XML) [W3C.REC-xml-20040204].
   An XML document conforming to the configuration data model contains
   the configuration data of one Monitoring Device.

   The configuration data model is designed for being used with the
   NETCONF protocol [RFC6241] in order to configure remote Monitoring
   Devices.  With the NETCONF protocol, it is possible to transfer a
   complete set of configuration data to a Monitoring Device, to query
   the current configuration and state parameters of a Monitoring
   Device, and to change specific parameter values of an existing
   Monitoring Device configuration.

   In order to ensure compatibility with the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241],
   YANG [RFC6020] is used to formally specify the configuration data
   model.  If required, the YANG specification of the configuration data
   model can be converted into XML Schema language



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt     [Page 5]

   [W3C.REC-xmlschema-0-20041028] or DSDL (Document Schema Definition
   Languages) [RFC6110], for example by using the pyang tool [YANG-WEB].
   YANG provides mechanisms to adapt the configuration data model to
   device-specific constraints and to augment the model with additional
   device-specific or vendor-specific parameters.

   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 [RFC2119].

1.1.  IPFIX Documents Overview

   The IPFIX protocol [RFC5101] provides network administrators with
   access to IP Flow information.  The architecture for the export of
   measured IP Flow information out of an IPFIX Exporting Process to a
   Collecting Process is defined in [RFC5470], per the requirements
   defined in [RFC3917].  The IPFIX protocol [RFC5101] specifies how
   IPFIX Data Records and Templates are carried via a number of
   transport protocols from IPFIX Exporting Processes to IPFIX
   Collecting Process.  IPFIX has a formal description of IPFIX
   Information Elements, their name, type and additional semantic
   information, as specified in [RFC5102].  [RFC5815] specifies the
   IPFIX Management Information Base, consisting of the IPFIX MIB module
   and the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module.  Finally, [RFC5472] describes what
   type of applications can use the IPFIX protocol and how they can use
   the information provided.  It furthermore shows how the IPFIX
   framework relates to other architectures and frameworks.  Methods for
   efficient export of bidirectional Flow information and common
   properties in Data Records are specified in [RFC5103] and [RFC5473],
   respectively.  [RFC5610] addresses the export of extended type
   information for enterprise-specific Information Elements.  The
   storage of IPFIX Messages in a file is specified in [RFC5655].

1.2.  PSAMP Documents Overview

   The framework for packet selection and reporting [RFC5474] enables
   network elements to select subsets of packets by statistical and
   other methods, and to export a stream of reports on the selected
   packets to a Collector.  The set of packet selection techniques
   (Sampling, Filtering, and hashing) standardized by PSAMP are
   described in [RFC5475].  The PSAMP protocol [RFC5476] specifies the
   export of packet information from a PSAMP Exporting Process to a
   PSAMP Collector.  Instead of exporting PSAMP Packet Reports, the
   stream of selected packets may also serve as input to the generation
   of IPFIX Flow Records.  Like IPFIX, PSAMP has a formal description of
   its Information Elements, their name, type and additional semantic
   information.  The PSAMP information model is defined in [RFC5477].
   [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib] specifies the PSAMP MIB module as an

   extension of the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module defined in [RFC5815].

      *  Selector Report Interpretation

   The terms Metering Process and Exporting Process have different
   definitions in [RFC5101] and [RFC5476].  In the scope of this
   document, these terms are used according to the following definitions
   which cover the deployment in both PSAMP Devices and IPFIX Devices:

   Metering Process

      The Metering Process generates IPFIX Flow Records or PSAMP Packet
      Reports, depending on its deployment as part of an IPFIX Device or
      PSAMP Device.  Inputs to the process are packets observed at one
      or multiple Observation Points, as well as characteristics
      describing the packet treatment at these Observation Points.  If
      IPFIX Flow Records are generated, the Metering Process MUST NOT
      aggregate packets observed at different Observation Domains in the
      same Flow.  The function of the Metering Process is split into two
      functional blocks: Selection Process and Cache.

   Exporting Process

      Depending on its deployment as part of an IPFIX Device or PSAMP
      Device, the Exporting Process sends IPFIX Flow Records or PSAMP
      Packet Reports to one or more Collecting Processes.  The IPFIX
      Flow Records or PSAMP Packet Reports are generated by one or more
      Metering Processes.

   In addition to the existing IPFIX and PSAMP terminology, the
   following terms are defined:

   Cache

      The Cache is a functional block in a Metering Process which
      generates IPFIX Flow Records or PSAMP Packet Reports from a
      Selected Packet Stream, in accordance with its configuration.  If
      Flow Records are generated, the Cache performs tasks like creating
      new records, updating existing ones, computing Flow statistics,
      deriving further Flow properties, detecting Flow expiration,
      passing Flow Records to the Exporting Process, and deleting Flow
      Records.  If Packet Reports are generated, the Cache performs
      tasks like extracting packet contents and derived packet
      properties from the Selected Packet Stream, creating new records,
      and passing them as Packet Reports to the Exporting Process.

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   Cache Layout

      The Cache Layout defines the superset of fields that are included
      in the Packet Reports or Flow Records maintained by the Cache.
      The fields are specified by the corresponding Information
      Elements.  In general, the largest possible subset of the
      specified fields is derived for every Packet Report or Flow
      Record.  More specific rules about which fields must be included
      are given in Section 4.3.3.

   Monitoring Device

      A Monitoring Device implements at least one of the functional
      blocks specified in the context of IPFIX or PSAMP.  In particular,
      the term Monitoring Device encompasses Exporters, Collectors,
      IPFIX Devices, and PSAMP Devices.

   Selected Packet Stream

      The Selected Packet Stream is the set of all packets selected by a
      Selection Process.


3.  Structure of the Configuration Data Model

   The IPFIX reference model in [RFC5470] describes Metering Processes,
   Exporting Processes, and Collecting Processes as functional blocks of
   IPFIX Devices.  The PSAMP framework [RFC5474] provides the
   corresponding information for PSAMP Devices and introduces the
   Selection Process as a functional block within Metering Processes.
   In Section 2 of the document, the Cache is defined as another
   functional block within Metering Processes.  Further explanations
   about the relationship between Selection Process and Cache are given
   in Section 3.1.  IPFIX File Reader and File Writer are defined as
   specific kinds of Exporting and Collecting Processes in [RFC5655].

   Monitoring Device implementations usually maintain the separation of
   various functional blocks although they do not necessarily implement
   all of them.  Furthermore, they provide various configuration
   possibilities; some of them are specified as mandatory by the IPFIX
   protocol [RFC5101] or PSAMP protocol [RFC5476].  The configuration
   data model enables the setting of commonly available configuration
   parameters for Selection Processes, Caches, Exporting Processes, and
   Collecting Processes.  In addition, it allows specifying the
   composition of functional blocks within a Monitoring Device
   configuration and their linkage with Observation Points.

   The selection of parameters in the configuration data model is based



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt     [Page 9]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   on configuration issues discussed in the IPFIX and PSAMP documents
   [RFC3917], [RFC5101], [RFC5470], [RFC5476], [RFC5474], and [RFC5475].
   Furthermore, the structure and content of the IPFIX MIB module
   [RFC5815] and the PSAMP MIB module [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib] have
   been taken into consideration.  Consistency between the configuration
   data model and the IPFIX and PSAMP MIB modules is an intended goal.
   Therefore, parameters in the configuration data model are named
   according to corresponding managed objects.  Certain IPFIX MIB
   objects containing state data have been adopted as state parameters
   in the configuration data model.  State parameters cannot be
   configured, yet their values can be queried from the Monitoring
   Device by a network manager.

   Section 3.2 explains how UML class diagrams are deployed to
   illustrate the structure of the configuration data model.
   Thereafter, Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 explain the class diagrams
   for the configuration of Exporters and Collectors, respectively.
   Each of the presented classes contains specific configuration
   parameters which are specified in Section 4.  Section 5 gives a short
   introduction to YANG concepts that allow adapting the configuration
   data model to the capabilities of a device.  The formal definition of
   the configuration data model in YANG is given in Section 6.
   Section 7 illustrates the usage of the model with example
   configurations in XML.

3.1.  Metering Process Decomposition in Selection Process and Cache

   In a Monitoring Device implementation, the functionality of the
   Metering Process is commonly split into packet Sampling and Filtering
   functions performed by Selection Processes, and the maintenance of
   Flow Records and Packet Reports performed by a Cache.  Figure 1
   illustrates this separation with the example of a basic Metering
   Process.

               +-----------------------------------+
               | Metering Process                  |
               | +-----------+ Selected            |
      Observed | | Selection | Packet    +-------+ |  Stream of
      Packet  -->| Process   |---------->| Cache |--> Flow Records or
      Stream   | +-----------+ Stream    +-------+ |  Packet Reports
               +-----------------------------------+

     Figure 1: Selection Process and Cache forming a Metering Process

   The configuration data model adopts the separation of Selection
   Processes and Caches in order to support the flexible configuration
   and combination of these functional blocks.  As defined in [RFC5476],
   the Selection Process takes an Observed Packet Stream as its input



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 10]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   and selects a subset of that stream as its output (Selected Packet
   Stream).  The action of the Selection Process on a single packet of
   its input is defined by one Selector (called Primitive Selector) or
   an ordered composition of multiple Selectors (called Composite
   Selector).  The Cache generates Flow Records or Packet Reports from
   the Selected Packet Stream, depending on its configuration.

   The configuration data model does not allow configuring a Metering
   Process without any Selection Process in front of the Cache.  If all
   packets in the Observed Packet Stream shall be selected and passed to
   the Cache without any Filtering or Sampling, a Selection Process
   needs to be configured with a Selector which selects all packets
   ("SelectAll" class in Section 4.2.1).

   The configuration data model enables the configuration of a Selection
   Process which receives packets from multiple Observation Points as
   its input.  In this case, the Observed Packet Streams of the
   Observation Points are processed in independent Selection Sequences.
   As specified in [RFC5476], a distinct set of Selector instances needs
   to be maintained per Selection Sequence in order to keep the
   Selection States and statistics separate.

   With the configuration data model, it is possible to configure a
   Metering Process with more than one Selection Processes whose output
   is processed by a single Cache.  This is illustrated in Figure 2.

              +-------------------------------------+
              | Metering Process                    |
              | +-----------+ Selected              |
     Observed | | Selection | Packet                |
     Packet  -->| Process   |----------+  +-------+ |
     Stream   | +-----------+ Stream   +->|       | |  Stream of

       Figure 2: Metering Process with multiple Selection Processes

   The Observed Packet Streams at the input of a Metering Process may
   originate from Observation Points belonging to different Observation
   Domains.  By definition of the Observation Domain (see [RFC5101]),
   however, a Cache MUST NOT aggregate packets observed at different
   Observation Domains in the same Flow.  Hence, if the Cache is
   configured to generate Flow Records, it needs to distinguish packets
   according to their Observation Domains.

3.2.  UML Representation

   We use UML class diagrams [UML] to explain the structure of the
   configuration data model.  The attributes of the classes are the
   configuration or state parameters.  The configuration and state
   parameters of a given Monitoring Device are represented as objects of
   these classes encoded in XML.

    +------------------------------+
    | SctpExporter                 |
    +------------------------------+    0..1 +------------------------+
    | name                         |<>-------| TransportLayerSecurity |
    | ipfixVersion = 10            |         +------------------------+
    | sourceIPAddress[0..*]        |
    | destinationIPAddress[1..*]   |    0..1 +------------------------+
    | destinationPort = 4739|4740  |<>-------| TransportSession       |
    | ifName/ifIndex[0..1]         |         +------------------------+
    | sendBufferSize {opt.}        |
    | rateLimit[0..1]              |
    | timedReliability = 0         |
    +------------------------------+

                 Figure 3: UML example: SctpExporter class

   As an example, Figure 3 shows the UML diagram of the SctpExporter
   class, which is specified in more detail in Section 4.4.1.  The upper
   box contains the name of the class.  The lower box lists the
   attributes of the class.  Each attribute corresponds to a parameter
   of the configuration data model.

   Behind an attribute's name, there may appear a multiplicity indicator
   in brackets (i.e., between "[" and "]").  An attribute with
   multiplicity indicator "[0..1]" represents an OPTIONAL configuration
   parameter which is only included in the configuration data if the
   user configures it.  Typically, the absence of an OPTIONAL parameter
   has a specific meaning.  For example, not configuring rateLimit in an
   object of the SctpExporter class means that no rate limiting will be
   applied to the exported data.  In YANG, an OPTIONAL parameter is
   specified as a "leaf" without "mandatory true" substatement.  The
   "description" substatement specifies the behavior for the case that
   the parameter is not configured.

   The multiplicity indicator "[0..*]" means that this parameter is
   OPTIONAL and MAY be configured multiple times with different values.
   In the example, multiple source IP addresses (sourceIPAddress) may be
   configured for a multi-homed Exporting Process.  In YANG, an
   attribute with multiplicity indicator "[0..*]" corresponds to a
   "leaf-list".



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 12]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   The multiplicity indicator "[1..*]" means that this parameter MUST be
   configured at least once and MAY be configured multiple times with
   different values.  In the example, one or more destination IP
   addresses (destinationIPAddress) must be configured to specify the
   export destination.  In YANG, an attribute with multiplicity
   indicator "[1..*]" corresponds to a "leaf-list" with "min-elements 1"
   substatement.  Note that attributes without this multiplicity
   indicator MUST NOT appear more than once in each object of the class.

   Attributes without multiplicity indicator may be endued with a
   default value which is indicated behind the equality symbol ("=").
   If a default value exists, the parameter does not have to be
   explicitly configured by the user.  If the parameter is not
   configured by the user, the Monitoring Device MUST use the specified
   default value for the given parameter.  In the example, IPFIX version
   10 must be used unless a different value is configured for
   ipfixVersion.  In YANG, an attribute with default value corresponds
   to a "leaf" with "default" substatement.

   In the example, there exist two default values for the destination
   port (destinationPort), namely the registered ports for IPFIX with
   and without transport layer security (i.e., DTLS or TLS), which are
   4740 and 4739, respectively.  In the UML diagram, the two default
   values are separated by a vertical bar ("|").  In YANG, such
   conditional default value alternatives cannot be specified formally.
   Instead, they are defined in the "description" substatement of the
   "leaf".

   Further attribute properties are denoted in braces (i.e., between "{"
   and "}").  An attribute with property "{opt.}", such as
   sendBufferSize in the SctpExporter class, represents a parameter that
   MAY be configured by the user.  If not configured by the user, the
   Monitoring Device MUST set an appropriate value for this parameter at
   configuration time.  As a result, the parameter will always exist in
   the configuration data, yet it is not mandatory for the user to
   configure it.  This behavior can be implemented as a static device-
   specific default value, but does not have to.  Therefore, the user
   MUST NOT expect that the device always sets the same values for the
   same parameter.  Regardless of whether the parameter value has been
   configured by the user or set by the device, the parameter value MUST
   NOT be changed by the device after configuration.  Since this
   behavior cannot be specified formally in YANG, it is specified in the
   "description" substatement of the "leaf".

   The availability of a parameter may depend on another parameter
   value.  In the UML diagram, such restrictions are indicated as
   attribute properties (e.g., "{SCTP only}").  The given example does
   not show such restrictions.  In YANG, the availability of a parameter



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 13]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   is formally restricted with the "when" substatement of the "leaf".

   Another attribute property not shown in the example is "{readOnly}"
   specifying state parameters which cannot be configured.  In YANG,
   this corresponds to the "config false" substatement.

   Attributes without multiplicity indicator, without default value, and
   without "{readOnly}" property are mandatory configuration parameters.
   These parameters MUST be configured by the user unless an attribute
   property determines that the parameter is not available.  In YANG, a
   mandatory parameter corresponds to a "leaf" with "mandatory true"
   substatement.  In the example, the user MUST configure the name
   parameter.

   If some parameters are related to each other, it makes sense to group
   these parameters in a subclass.  This is especially useful if
   different subclasses represent choices of different parameter sets,
   or if the parameters of a subclass may appear multiple times.  For
   example, the SctpExporter class MAY contain the parameters of the
   TransportLayerSecurity subclass.

   An object of a class is encoded as an XML element.  In order to
   distinguish between classes and objects, class names start with an
   upper case character while the associated XML elements start with
   lower case characters.  Paramaters appear as XML elements which are
   nested in the XML element of the object.  In XML, the parameters of
   an object can appear in any order and do not have to follow the order
   in the UML class diagram.  Unless specified differently, the order in
   which parameters appear does not have a meaning.  As an example, an
   object of the SctpExporter class corresponds to one occurrence of

     <sctpExporter>
       <name>my-sctp-export</name>
       ...
     </sctpExporter>

   There are various possibilities how objects of classes can be related
   to each other.  In the scope of this document, we use two different
   types of relationship between objects: aggregation and unidirectional
   association.  In UML class diagrams, two different arrow types are
   used as shown in Figure 4.

            +---+   0..* +---+         +---+ 0..*  1 +---+
            | A |<>------| B |         | A |-------->| B |
            +---+        +---+         +---+         +---+
             (a) Aggregation     (b) Unidirectional association

            Figure 4: Class relationships in UML class diagrams



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 14]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   Aggregation means that one object is part of the other object.  In
   Figure 4 (a), an object of class B is part of an object of class A.
   This corresponds to nested XML elements:

     <a>
       <b>
         ...
       </b>
       ...
     </a>

   In the example, objects of the TransportLayerSecurity class and the
   TransportSession class appear as nested XML elements
   <transportLayerSecurity> and <transportSession> within an object of
   the SctpExporter class <sctpExporter>.

   A unidirectional association is a reference to an object.  In
   Figure 4 (b), an object of class A contains a reference to an object
   of class B. This corresponds to separate XML elements that are not
   nested.  To distinguish different objects of class B, class B must
   have a key.  In the configuration data model, keys are string
   parameters called "name", corresponding to XML elements <name>.  The
   names MUST be unique within the given XML subtree.  The reference to
   a specific object of class B is encoded with an XML element <b> which
   contains the name of an object.  If an object of class A refers to
   the object of class B with name "foo", this looks as follows:

     <a>
       ...
       <b>foo</b>
       ...
     </a>

     <b>
       <name>foo</name>
       ...
     </b>

   In Figure 4, the indicated numbers define the multiplicity:

      "1": one only
      "0..*": zero or more
      "1..*": one or more

   In the case of aggregation, the multiplicity indicates how many
   objects of one class may be included in one object of the other
   class.  In Figure 4 (a), an object of class A may contain an
   arbitrary number of objects of class B. In the case of unidirectional



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 15]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   association, the multiplicity at the arrowhead specifies the number
   of objects of a given class that may be referred to.  The
   multiplicity at the arrow tail specifies how many different objects
   of one class may refer to a single object of the other class.  In
   Figure 4 (b), an object of class A refers to single object of class
   B. One object of class B can be referred to from an arbitrary number
   of objects of class A.

   Similar to classes that are referenced in UML associations, classes
   which contain configuration parameters and which occur in an
   aggregation relationship with multiplicity greater than one must have
   a key.  This key is necessary because every configuration parameter
   must be addressable in order to manipulate or delete it.  The key
   values MUST be unique in the given XML subtree (i.e., unique within
   the aggregating object).  Hence, if class B in Figure 4 (a) contains
   a configuration parameter, all objects of class B belonging to the
   same object of class A must have different key values.  Again, the
   key appears as an attribute called "name" in the concerned classes.

   A class which contains state parameters but no configuration
   parameters, such as the Template class (see Section 4.8), does not
   have a key.  This is because state parameters cannot be manipulated
   or deleted, and therefore do not need to be addressable.

   Note that the usage of keys as described above is required by YANG
   [RFC6020] which mandates the existence of a key for elements which
   appear in a list of configuration data.

   The configuration data model for IPFIX and PSAMP makes use of
   unidirectional associations to specify the data flow between
   different functional blocks.  For example, if the output of a
   Selection Process is processed by a Cache, this corresponds to an
   object of the SelectionProcess class that contains a reference to an
   object of the Cache class.  The configuration data model does not
   mandate that such a reference exists for every functional block that
   has an output.  If such a reference is absent, the output is dropped
   without any further processing.  Although such configurations are
   incomplete, we do not consider them as invalid as they may
   temporarily occur if a Monitoring Device is configured in multiple
   steps.  Also, it might be useful to pre-configure certain functions
   of a Monitoring Device in order to be able to switch to a new
   configuration more quickly.

3.3.  Exporter Configuration

   Figure 5 below shows the main classes of the configuration data model
   which are involved in the configuration of an IPFIX or PSAMP
   Exporter.  The role of the classes can be briefly summarized as



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 16]

   follows:

   o  The ObservationPoint class specifies an Observation Point (i.e.,
      an interface or linecard) of the Monitoring Device at which
      packets are captured for traffic measurements.  An object of the
      ObservationPoint class may be associated with one or more objects
      of the SelectionProcess class configuring Selection Processes that
      process the observed packets in parallel.  As long as an
      ObservationPoint object is specified without any references to
      SelectionProcess objects, the captured packets are not considered
      by any Metering Process.

   o  The SelectionProcess class contains the configuration and state
      parameters of a Selection Process.  The Selection Process may be
      composed of a single Selector or a sequence of Selectors, defining
      a Primitive or Composite Selector, respectively.

      The Selection Process selects packets from one or more Observed
      Packet Streams, each originating from a different Observation
      Point.  Therefore, a SelectionProcess object MAY be referred to
      from one or more ObservationPoint objects.

      A Selection Process MAY pass the Selected Packet Stream to a
      Cache.  Therefore, the SelectionProcess class contains a reference
      to an object of the Cache class.  If a Selection Process is
      configured without any reference to a Cache, the selected packets
      are not accounted in any Packet Report or Flow Record.

   o  The Cache class contains configuration and state parameters of a
      Cache.  A Cache may receive the output of one or more Selection
      Processes and maintains corresponding Packet Reports or Flow
      Records.  Therefore, an object of the Cache class MAY be referred
      to from multiple SelectionProcess objects.

      Configuration parameters of the Cache class specify the size of
      the Cache, the Cache Layout, and expiration parameters if
      applicable.  The Cache configuration also determines whether
      Packet Reports or Flow Records are generated.

      A Cache MAY pass its output to one or multiple Exporting Process.
      Therefore, the Cache class enables references to one or multiple
      objects of the ExportingProcess class.  If a Cache object does not
      specify any reference to an ExportingProcess object, the Cache
      output is dropped.

   o  The ExportingProcess class contains configuration and state
      parameters of an Exporting Process.  It includes various transport
      protocol specific parameters and the export destinations.  An

      object of the ExportingProcess class MAY be referred to from
      multiple objects of the Cache class.

      An Exporting Process MAY be configured as a File Writer according
      to [RFC5655].

             Figure 5: Class diagram of Exporter configuration

3.4.  Collector Configuration

   Figure 6 below shows the main classes of the configuration data model
   which are involved in the configuration of a Collector.  An object of
   the CollectingProcess class specifies the local IP addresses,
   transport protocols and port numbers of a Collecting Process.
   Alternatively, the Collecting Process MAY be configured as a File
   Reader according to [RFC5655].

   An object of the CollectingProcess class may refer to one or multiple
   ExportingProcess objects configuring Exporting Processes that
   reexport the received data.  As an example, an Exporting Process can
   be configured as a File Writer in order to save the received IPFIX
   Messages in a file.

4.  Configuration Parameters

   This section specifies the configuration and state parameters of the
   configuration data model separately for each class.

4.1.  ObservationPoint Class

         +-------------------------------+
         | ObservationPoint              |
         +-------------------------------+
         | name                          |
         | observationPointId {readOnly} |
         | observationDomainId           | 0..*
         | ifName[0..*]                  |-------------+
         | ifIndex[0..*]                 |             | 0..*
         | entPhysicalName[0..*]         |             V
         | entPhysicalIndex[0..*]        |    +------------------+
         | direction = "both"            |    | SelectionProcess |
         +-------------------------------+    +------------------+

                     Figure 7: ObservationPoint class

   Figure 7 shows the ObservationPoint class that specifies an
   Observation Point of the Monitoring Device.

   As defined in [RFC5101], an Observation Point can be any location
   where packets are observed.  A Monitoring Device potentially has more
   than one such location.  An instance of ObservationPoint class
   defines which location is associated with a specific Observation
   Point.  For this purpose, interfaces and physical entities are
   identified using their names.  Alternatively, index values of the
   corresponding entries in the ifTable (IF-MIB module [RFC2863]) or the
   entPhysicalTable (ENTITY-MIB modules [RFC4133]) can be used as
   identifiers.  However, indices SHOULD only be used as identifiers if
   an SNMP agent on the same Monitoring Device enables access to the



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 19]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   corresponding MIB tables.

   By its definition in [RFC5101], an Observation Point may be
   associated with a set of interfaces.  Therefore, the configuration
   data model allows configuring multiple interfaces and physical
   entities for a single Observation Point.

   The Observation Point ID (i.e., the value of the Information Element
   observationPointId [RFC5102]) is assigned by the Monitoring Device.
   It appears as a state parameter in the ObservationPoint class.

   The configuration parameters of the Observation Point are:

   observationDomainId:  This parameter defines the identifier of the
      Observation Domain the Observation Point belongs to.  Observation
      Points that are configured with the same Observation Domain ID
      belong to the same Observation Domain.
      Note that this parameter corresponds to
      ipfixObservationPointObservationDomainId in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   ifName/ifIndex/entPhysicalName/entPhysicalIndex:  These parameters
      identify interfaces and physical entities (e.g., linecards) on the
      Monitoring Device which are associated with the given Observation
      Point.
      An interface is either identified by its name (ifName) or the
      ifIndex value of the corresponding object in the IF-MIB module
      [RFC2863]. ifIndex SHOULD only be used if an SNMP agent enables
      access to the ifTable.
      Similarly, a physical entity is either identified by its name
      (entPhysicalName) or the entPhysicalIndex value of the
      corresponding object in the ENTITY-MIB module [RFC4133].
      entPhysicalIndex SHOULD only be used if an SNMP agent enables
      access to the entPhysicalTable.
      Note that the parameters ifIndex and entPhysicalIndex correspond
      to ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface and
      ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   direction:  This parameter specifies if ingress traffic, egress
      traffic, or both ingress and egress traffic is captured, using the
      values "ingress", "egress", and "both", respectively.  If not
      configured, ingress and egress traffic is captured (i.e., the
      default value is "both").  If not applicable (e.g., in the case of
      a sniffing interface in promiscuous mode), the value of this
      parameter is ignored.

   An ObservationPoint object MAY refer to one or multiple

                     Figure 8: SelectionProcess class

   Figure 8 shows the SelectionProcess class.  The SelectionProcess
   class contains the configuration and state parameters of a Selection
   Process which selects packets from one or more Observed Packet
   Streams and generates a Selected Packet Stream as its output.  A non-
   empty ordered list defines a sequence of Selectors.  The actions
   defined by the Selectors are applied to the stream of incoming packet
   in the specified order.

   If the Selection Process receives packets from multiple Observation
   Points, the Observed Packet Streams need to be processed
   independently in separate Selection Sequences.  Each Selection
   Sequence is identified by a Selection Sequence ID which is unique
   within the Observation Domain the Observation Point belongs to (see
   [RFC5477]).  Selection Sequence IDs are assigned by the Monitoring
   Device.  As state parameters, the SelectionProcess class contains the
   list of assigned Selection Sequence IDs and corresponding Observation
   Domain IDs.  With this information, it is possible to associate
   Selection Sequence (Statistics) Report Interpretations exported
   according to the PSAMP protocol specifications [RFC5476] with the
   corresponding object of the SelectionProcess class.

   A SelectionProcess object MAY include a reference to an object of the
   Cache class to generate Packet Reports or Flow Records from the
   Selected Packet Stream.

                         Figure 9: Selector class

   The Selector class in Figure 9 contains the configuration and state
   parameters of a Selector.  Standardized PSAMP Sampling and Filtering
   methods are described in [RFC5475]; their configuration parameters
   are specified in the classes SampCountBased, SampTimeBased,
   SampRandOutOfN, SampUniProb, FilterMatch, and FilterHash.  In
   addition, the SelectAll class, which has no parameters, is used for a
   Selector that selects all packets.  The Selector class includes
   exactly one of these sampler and filter classes, depending on the
   applied method.

   As state parameters, the Selector class contains the Selector
   statistics packetsObserved and packetsDropped as well as
   selectorDiscontinuityTime, which correspond to the IPFIX MIB module
   objects ipfixSelectionProcessStatsPacketsObserved,
   ipfixSelectionProcessStatsPacketsDropped, and
   ipfixSelectionProcessStatsDiscontinuityTime, respectively [RFC5815]:

   packetsObserved:  The total number of packets observed at the input
      of the Selector.  If this is the first Selector in the Selection
      Process, this counter corresponds to the total number of packets
      in all Observed Packet Streams at the input of the Selection
      Process.  Otherwise, the counter corresponds to the total number
      of packets at the output of the preceding Selector.
      Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-
      initialization of the management system, and at other times as
      indicated by the value of selectorDiscontinuityTime.

   packetsDropped:  The total number of packets discarded by the
      Selector.  Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur
      at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times
      as indicated by the value of selectorDiscontinuityTime.

   selectorDiscontinuityTime:  Timestamp of the most recent occasion at
      which one or more of the Selector counters suffered a
      discontinuity.  In contrast to
      ipfixSelectionProcessStatsDiscontinuityTime, the time is absolute
      and not relative to sysUpTime.

   Note that packetsObserved and packetsDropped are aggregate statistics
   calculcated over all Selection Sequences of the Selection Process.
   This is in contrast to the counter values in the Selection Sequence
   Statistics Report Interpretation [RFC5476] which are related to a
   single Selection Sequence only.

                        Figure 10: Sampler classes

   The Sampler classes in Figure 10 contain the configuration parameters
   of specific Sampling algorithms:

   packetInterval, packetSpace:  For systematic count-based sampling,
      packetInterval defines the number of packets that are
      consecutively sampled between gaps of length packetSpace.  These
      parameters correspond to the Information Elements
      samplingPacketInterval and samplingPacketSpace [RFC5477], as well
      as to the PSAMP MIB objects psampSampCountBasedInterval and
      psampSampCountBasedSpace [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].

   timeInterval, timeSpace:  For systematic time-based sampling,
      timeInterval defines the time interval during which all arriving
      packets are sampled. timeSpace is the gap between two sampling
      intervals.  These parameters correspond to the Information
      Elements samplingTimeInterval and samplingTimeSpace [RFC5477], as
      well as to the PSAMP MIB objects psampSampTimeBasedInterval and
      psampSampTimeBasedSpace [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].  The unit is
      microseconds.

   size, population:  For n-out-of-N random sampling, size defines the
      number of elements taken from the parent population. population
      defines the number of elements in the parent population.  These
      parameters correspond to the Information Elements samplingSize and
      samplingPopulation [RFC5477], as well as to the PSAMP MIB objects
      psampSampRandOutOfNSize and psampSampRandOutOfNPopulation
      [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].

   probability:  For uniform probabilistic sampling, probability defines
      the sampling probability.  The probability is expressed as a value
      between 0 and 1.  This parameter corresponds to the Information
      Element samplingProbability [RFC5477], as well as to the PSAMP MIB
      object psampSampUniProbProbability [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].

                         Figure 11: Filter classes

   The Filter classes in Figure 11 contain the configuration parameters
   of specific Filtering methods.  For property match filtering, the
   configuration parameters are:

   ieId, ieName, ieEnterpriseNumber:  The property to be matched is
      specified by either ieId or ieName, specifying the ID or name of
      the Information Element, respectively.  If ieEnterpriseNumber is
      zero (which is the default), this Information Element is
      registered in the IANA registry of IPFIX Information Elements
      [IANA-IPFIX].  A non-zero value of ieEnterpriseNumber specifies an

      enterprise-specific Information Element.

   value:  Matching value.

   For hash-based filtering, the configuration and state parameters are:

   hashFunction:  Hash function to be used.  The following parameter
      values are defined by the configuration data model:
      *  BOB: BOB Hash Function as specified in [RFC5475], Appendix A.2
      *  IPSX: IP Shift-XOR (IPSX) Hash Function as specified in
         [RFC5475], Appendix A.1
      *  CRC: CRC-32 function as specified in [RFC1141]
      Default value is "BOB".  This parameter corresponds to the PSAMP
      MIB object psampFiltHashFunction [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].

   initializerValue:  Initializer value to the hash function.  This
      parameter corresponds to the Information Element
      hashInitialiserValue [RFC5477], as well as to the PSAMP MIB object
      psampFiltHashInitializerValue [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].  If not
      configured by the user, the Monitoring Device arbitrarily chooses
      an initializer value.

   ipPayloadOffset, ipPayloadSize:  ipPayloadOffset and ipPayloadSize
      configure the offset and the size of the payload section used as
      input to the hash function.  Default values are 0 and 8,
      respectively, corresponding to the minimum configurable values
      according to [RFC5476], Section 6.2.5.6.  These parameters
      correspond to the Information Elements hashIPPayloadOffset and
      hashIPPayloadSize [RFC5477], as well as to the PSAMP MIB objects
      psampFiltHashIpPayloadOffset and psampFiltHashIpPayloadSize
      [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].

   digestOutput:  digestOutput enables or disables the inclusion of the
      packet digest in the resulting PSAMP Packet Report.  This requires
      that the Cache Layout of the Cache generating the Packet Reports
      includes a digestHashValue field.  This parameter corresponds to
      the Information Element hashDigestOutput [RFC5477].

   outputRangeMin, outputRangeMax:  The values of these two state
      parameters are the beginning and end of the hash function's
      potential output range.  These parameters correspond to the
      Information Elements hashOutputRangeMin and hashOutputRangeMax
      [RFC5477], as well as to the PSAMP MIB objects
      psampFiltHashOutputRangeMin and psampFiltHashOutputRangeMax
      [I-D.ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib].

   One or more ranges of matching hash values are defined by the min and
   max parameters of the SelectedRange subclass.  These parameters

                          Figure 12: Cache class

   Figure 12 shows the Cache class that contains the configuration and
   state parameters of a Cache.  Most of these parameters are specific
   to the type of the Cache and therefore contained in the subclasses
   immediateCache, timeoutCache, naturalCache, and permanentCache, which
   are presented below in Section 4.3.1 and Section 4.3.2.  The
   following two state parameters are common to all Caches and therefore
   included in the Cache class itself:

   dataRecords:  The number of Data Records generated by this Cache.
      Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-
      initialization of the management system, and at other times as
      indicated by the value of cacheDiscontinuityTime.
      Note that this parameter corresponds to
      ipfixMeteringProcessDataRecords in the IPFIX MIB module [RFC5815].

   cacheDiscontinuityTime:  Timestamp of the most recent occasion at
      which dataRecords suffered a discontinuity.  In contrast to
      ipfixMeteringProcessDiscontinuityTime, the time is absolute and
      not relative to sysUpTime.
      Note that this parameter functionally corresponds to
      ipfixMeteringProcessDiscontinuityTime in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   A Cache object MAY refer to one or multiple ExportingProcess objects
   configuring different Exporting Processes.

   Figure 14 shows the TimeoutCache class, the NaturalCache class, and
   the PermanentCache class.  These classes are used to configure a
   Cache which aggregates the packets at its input and generates IPFIX
   Flow Records.  The three classes differ in when Flows expire:

   o  TimeoutCache: Flows expire after active or inactive timeout.
   o  NaturalCache: Flows expire after active or inactive timeout, or on
      natural termination (e.g., TCP FIN, or TCP RST) of the Flow.
   o  PermanentCache: Flows never expire, but are periodically exported
      with the interval set by exportInterval.

   The following configuration and state parameters are common to the
   three classes:

   maxFlows:  This parameter configures the maximum number of entries in
      the Cache, which is the maximum number of Flows that can be
      measured simultaneously.
      If this parameter is configured, the Monitoring Device MUST ensure
      that sufficient resources are available to store the configured
      maximum number of Flows.  If the maximum number of Cache entries
      is in use, no additional Flows can be measured.  However, traffic
      which pertains to existing Flows can continue to be measured.

   activeFlows:  This state parameter indicates the number of Flows
      currently active in this Cache (i.e., the number of Cache entries
      currently in use).
      Note that this parameter corresponds to
      ipfixMeteringProcessCacheActiveFlows in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   unusedCacheEntries:  The number of unused cache entries.  Note that
      the sum of activeFlows and unusedCacheEntries equals maxFlows if
      maxFlows is configured.
      Note that this parameter corresponds to
      ipfixMeteringProcessCacheUnusedCacheEntries in the IPFIX MIB
      module [RFC5815].

   The following timeout parameters are only available in the
   TimeoutCache class and the NaturalCache class:

   activeTimeout:  This parameter configures the time in seconds after
      which a Flow is expired even though packets matching this Flow are
      still received by the Cache.  The parameter value zero indicates
      infinity, meaning that there is no active timeout.
      If not configured by the user, the Monitoring Device sets this
      parameter.
      Note that this parameter corresponds to
      ipfixMeteringProcessCacheActiveTimeout in the IPFIX MIB module



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 28]

      [RFC5815].

   inactiveTimeout:  This parameter configures the time in seconds after
      which a Flow is expired if no more packets matching this Flow are
      received by the Cache.  The parameter value zero indicates
      infinity, meaning that there is no inactive timeout.
      If not configured by the user, the Monitoring Device sets this
      parameter.
      Note that this parameter corresponds to
      ipfixMeteringProcessCacheInactiveTimeout in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   The following interval parameter is only available in the
   PermanentCache class:

   exportInterval:  This parameter configures the interval (in seconds)
      for periodical export of Flow Records.
      If not configured by the user, the Monitoring Device sets this
      parameter.

   Every generated Flow Record MUST be associated with a single
   Observation Domain.  Hence, although a Cache MAY be configured to
   process packets observed at multiple Observation Domains, the Cache
   MUST NOT aggregate packets observed at different Observation Domains
   in the same Flow.

   An object of the Cache class contains an object of the CacheLayout
   class that defines which fields are included in the Flow Records.

   stream of packets.  Using the CacheField class, the CacheLayout class
   specifies the superset of fields that are included in the Packet
   Reports or Flow Records (see Figure 15).

   If Packet Reports are generated (i.e., if ImmediateCache class is
   used to configure the Cache), every field specified by the Cache
   Layout MUST be included in the resulting Packet Report unless the
   corresponding Information Element is not applicable or cannot be
   derived from the content or treatment of the incoming packet.  Any
   other field specified by the Cache Layout MAY only be included in the
   Packet Report if it is obvious from the field value itself or from
   the values of other fields in same Packet Report that the field value
   was not determined from the packet.

   For example, if a field is configured to contain the TCP source port
   (Information Element tcpSourcePort [RFC5102]), the field MUST be
   included in all Packet Reports which are related to TCP packets.
   Although the field value cannot be determined for non-TCP packets,
   the field MAY be included in the Packet Reports if another field
   contains the transport protocol identifier (Information Element
   protocolIdentifier [RFC5102]).

   If Flow Records are generated (i.e., if TimeoutCache, NaturalCache,
   or PermanentCache class is used to configure the Cache), the Cache
   Layout differentiates between Flow Key fields and non-key fields.
   Every Flow Key field specified by the Cache Layout MUST be included
   as Flow Key in the resulting Flow Record unless the corresponding
   Information Element is not applicable or cannot be derived from the
   content or treatment of the incoming packet.  Any other Flow Key
   field specified by the Cache Layout MAY only be included in the Flow
   Record if it is obvious from the field value itself or from the
   values of other Flow Key fields in same Flow Record that the field
   value was not determined from the packet.  Two packets are accounted
   by the same Flow Record if none of their Flow Key fields differ.  If
   a Flow Key field can be determined for one packet but not for the
   other, the two packets are accounted in different Flow Records.

   Every non-key field specified by the Cache Layout MUST be included in
   the resulting Flow Record unless the corresponding Information
   Element is not applicable or cannot be derived for the given Flow.
   Any other non-key field specified by the Cache Layout MAY only be
   included in the Flow Record if it is obvious from the field value
   itself or from the values of other fields in same Flow Record that
   the field value was not determined from the packet.  Packets which
   are accounted by the same Flow Record may differ in their non-key
   fields, or one or more of the non-key fields can be undetermined for
   all or some of the packets.

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   For example, if a non-key field specifies an Information Element
   whose value is determined by the first packet observed within a Flow
   (which is the default rule according to [RFC5102] unless specified
   differently in the description of the Information Element), this
   field MUST be included in the resulting Flow Record if it can be
   determined from the first packet of the Flow.

   The CacheLayout class does not have any parameters.  The
   configuration parameters of the CacheField class are as follows:

   ieId, ieName, ieEnterpriseNumber:  These parameters specify a field
      by the combination of the Information Element identifier or name,
      and the Information Element enterprise number.  Either ieId or
      ieName MUST be specified.  If ieEnterpriseNumber is zero (which is
      the default), this Information Element is registered in the IANA
      registry of IPFIX Information Elements [IANA-IPFIX].  A non-zero
      value of ieEnterpriseNumber specifies an enterprise-specific
      Information Element.
      If the enterprise number is set to 29305, this field contains a
      Reverse Information Element.  In this case, the Cache MUST
      generate Data Records in accordance to [RFC5103].

   ieLength:  This parameter specifies the length of the field in
      octets.  A value of 65535 means that the field is encoded as
      variable-length Information Element.  For Information Elements of
      integer and float type, the field length MAY be set to a smaller
      value than the standard length of the abstract data type if the
      rules of reduced size encoding are fulfilled (see [RFC5101],
      Section 6.2).  If not configured by the user, the field length is
      set by the Monitoring Device.

   isFlowKey:  If present, this field is a Flow Key. If the field
      contains a Reverse Information Element, it MUST NOT be configured
      as Flow Key.
      This parameter is not available if the Cache is configured using
      the ImmediateCache class since there is no distinction between
      Flow Key fields and non-key fields in Packet Reports.

   Note that the use of Information Elements can be restricted to
   certain Cache types as well as to Flow Key or non-key fields.  Such
   restrictions may result from Information Element definitions or from
   device-specific constraints.  According to Section 5, the Monitoring
   Device MUST notify the user if a Cache field cannot be configured
   with the given Information Element.

                     Figure 16: ExportingProcess class

   The ExportingProcess class in Figure 16 specifies destinations to
   which the incoming Packet Reports and Flow Records are exported using
   objects of the Destination class.  The Destination class includes one
   object of the SctpExporter, UdpExporter, TcpExporter, or FileWriter
   class which contains further configuration parameters.  These classes
   are described in Section 4.4.1, Section 4.4.2, Section 4.4.3, and
   Section 4.4.4.

   The order in which objects of the Destination class appear is defined
   by the user.  However, the order has a specific meaning only if the
   exportMode parameter is set to "fallback".  The exportMode parameter
   is defined as follows:

   exportMode:  This parameter determines to which configured
      destination(s) the incoming Data Records are exported.  The
      following parameter values are specified by the configuration data
      model:
      *  parallel: every Data Record is exported to all configured
         destinations in parallel
      *  loadBalancing: every Data Record is exported to exactly one
         configured destination according to a device-specific load-
         balancing policy
      *  fallback: every Data Record is exported to exactly one
         configured destination according to the fallback policy
         described below
      If exportMode is set to "fallback", the first object of the

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


      Destination class defines the primary destination; the second
      object of the Destination class defines the secondary destination,
      and so on.  If the Exporting Process fails to export Data Records
      to the primary destination, it tries to export them to the
      secondary one.  If the secondary destination fails as well, it
      continues with the tertiary, etc.
      "parallel" is the default value if exportMode is not configured.

   Note that the exportMode parameter is related to the
   ipfixExportMemberType object in [RFC5815].  If exportMode is
   "parallel", the ipfixExportMemberType values of the corresponding
   entries in ipfixExportTable are set to parallel(3).  If exportMode is
   "loadBalancing", the ipfixExportMemberType values of the
   corresponding entries in ipfixExportTable are set to
   loadBalancing(4).  If exportMode is "fallback", the
   ipfixExportMemberType value which refers to the primary destination
   is set to primary(1); the ipfixExportMemberType values which refer to
   the remaining destinations need to be set to secondary(2).  The IPFIX
   MIB module does not define any value for tertiary destination, etc.

   The reporting of information with Options Templates is defined with
   objects of the Options class.

   The Exporting Process may modify the Packet Reports and Flow Records
   to enable a more efficient transmission or storage under the
   condition that no information is changed or suppressed.  For example,
   the Exporting Process may shorten the length of a field according to
   the rules of reduced size encoding [RFC5101].  The Exporting Process
   may also export certain fields in a separate Data Record as described
   in [RFC5476].

   The SctpExporter class shown in Figure 17 contains the configuration
   parameters of an SCTP export destination.  The configuration
   parameters are:

   ipfixVersion:  Version number of the IPFIX protocol used.  If
      omitted, the default value is 10 (=0x000a) as specified in
      [RFC5101].

   sourceIPAddress:  List of source IP addresses used by the Exporting
      Process.  If configured, the specified addresses are eligible
      local IP addresses of the multi-homed SCTP endpoint.  If not
      configured, all locally assigned IP addresses are eligible local
      IP addresses.

   destinationIPAddress:  One or multiple IP addresses of the Collecting
      Process to which IPFIX Messages are sent.  The user must ensure
      that all configured IP addresses belong to the same Collecting
      Process.  The Exporting Process tries to establish an SCTP
      association to any of the configured destination IP addresses.

   destinationPort:  Destination port number to be used.  If not
      configured, standard port 4739 (IPFIX without TLS and DTLS) or
      4740 (IPFIX over TLS or DTLS) is used.

   ifIndex/ifName:  Either the index or the name of the interface used
      by the Exporting Process to export IPFIX Messages to the given
      destination MAY be specified according to corresponding objects in
      the IF-MIB [RFC2863].  If omitted, the Exporting Process selects
      the outgoing interface based on local routing decision and accepts
      return traffic, such as transport layer acknowledgments, on all
      available interfaces.

   sendBufferSize:  Size of the socket send buffer in bytes.  If not
      configured by the user, the buffer size is set by the Monitoring
      Device.

   rateLimit:  Maximum number of bytes per second the Exporting Process
      may export to the given destination as required by [RFC5476].  The
      number of bytes is calculated from the lengths of the IPFIX
      Messages exported.  If this parameter is not configured, no rate
      limiting is performed for this destination.

   timedReliability:  Lifetime in milliseconds until an IPFIX Message
      containing Data Sets only is "abandoned" due to the timed
      reliability mechanism of PR-SCTP [RFC3758].  If this parameter is
      set to zero, reliable SCTP transport MUST be used for all Data
      Records.  Regardless of the value of this parameter, the Exporting
      Process MAY use reliable SCTP transport for Data Sets associated

      with certain Options Templates, such as the Data Record
      Reliability Options Template specified in
      [I-D.ietf-ipfix-export-per-sctp-stream].

   Using the TransportLayerSecurity class described in Section 4.6,
   datagram transport layer security (DTLS) is enabled and configured
   for this export destination.

   If a Transport Session is established to the configured destination,
   the SctpExporter class includes an object of the TransportSession
   class containing state parameters of the Transport Session.  The
   TransportSession class is specified in Section 4.7.

4.4.2.  UdpExporter Class

    +-------------------------------------+
    | UdpExporter                         |

    | templateRefreshTimeout = 600        |
    | optionsTemplateRefreshTimeout = 600 |
    | templateRefreshPacket[0..1]         |
    | optionsTemplateRefreshPacket[0..1]  |
    +-------------------------------------+

                       Figure 18: UdpExporter class

   The UdpExporter class shown in Figure 18 contains the configuration
   parameters of a UDP export destination.  The parameters ipfixVersion,
   destinationPort, ifName, ifIndex, sendBufferSize, and rateLimit have
   the same meaning as in the SctpExporter class (see Section 4.4.1).
   The remaining configuration parameters are:

   sourceIPAddress:  This parameter specifies the source IP address used
      by the Exporting Process.  If this parameter is omitted, the IP
      address assigned to the outgoing interface is used as source IP
      address.

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   destinationIPAddress:  Destination IP address to which IPFIX Messages
      are sent (i.e., the IP address of the Collecting Process).

   maxPacketSize:  This parameter specifies the maximum size of IP
      packets sent to the Collector.  If set to zero, the Exporting
      Device MUST derive the maximum packet size from path MTU discovery
      mechanisms.  If not configured by the user, this parameter is set
      by the Monitoring Device.

   templateRefreshTimeout, optionsTemplateRefreshTimeout,
   templateRefreshPacket, optionsTemplateRefreshPacket:  These
      parameters specify when (Options) Templates are refreshed by the
      Exporting Process.
      templateRefreshTimeout and optionsTemplateRefreshTimeout are
      specified in seconds between resendings of (Options) Templates.
      If omitted, the default value of 600 seconds (10 minutes) is used
      [RFC5101].
      templateRefreshPacket and optionsTemplateRefreshPacket specify the
      number of IPFIX Messages after which (Options) Templates are
      resent.  If omitted, the (Options) Templates are only resent after
      timeout.
      Note that the values configured for templateRefreshTimeout and
      optionsTemplateRefreshTimeout MUST be adapted to the
      templateLifeTime and optionsTemplateLifeTime parameter settings at
      the receiving Collecting Process (see Section 4.5.2).
      Note that these parameters correspond to
      ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshTimeout,
      ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshTimeout,
      ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshPacket, and
      ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshPacket in the IPFIX MIB
      module [RFC5815].

   Using the TransportLayerSecurity class described in Section 4.6,
   datagram transport layer security (DTLS) is enabled and configured
   for this export destination.

   If a Transport Session is established to the configured destination,
   the UdpExporter class includes an object of the TransportSession
   class containing state parameters of the Transport Session.  The
   TransportSession class is specified in Section 4.7.

                       Figure 19: TcpExporter class

   The TcpExporter class shown in Figure 19 contains the configuration
   parameters of a TCP export destination.  The parameters have the same
   meaning as in the UdpExporter class (see Section 4.4.2).

   Using the TransportLayerSecurity class described in Section 4.6,
   transport layer security (TLS) is enabled and configured for this
   export destination.

   If a Transport Session is established to the configured destination,
   the TcpExporter class includes an object of the TransportSession
   class containing state parameters of the Transport Session.  The
   TransportSession class is specified in Section 4.7.

   If an object of the FileWriter class is included in an object of the
   Destination class, IPFIX Messages are written into a file as
   specified in [RFC5655].  The FileWriter class contains the following
   configuration parameters:

   ipfixVersion:  Version number of the IPFIX protocol used.  If
      omitted, the default value is 10 (=0x000a) as specified in
      [RFC5101].

   file:  File name and location specified as URI.

   The state parameters of the FileWriter class are:

   bytes, messages, records, templates, optionsTemplates:  The number of
      bytes, IPFIX Messages, Data Records, Template Records, and Options
      Template Records written by the File Writer.  Discontinuities in
      the values of these counters can occur at re-initialization of the
      management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of
      fileWriterDiscontinuityTime.

   discardedMessages:  The number of IPFIX Messages that could not be
      written by the File Writer due to internal buffer overflows,
      limited storage capacity etc.  Discontinuities in the value of
      this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management
      system, and at other times as indicated by the value of
      fileWriterDiscontinuityTime.

   fileWriterDiscontinuityTime:  Timestamp of the most recent occasion
      at which one or more File Writer counters suffered a
      discontinuity.  In contrast to discontinuity times in the IPFIX
      MIB module, the time is absolute and not relative to sysUpTime.

   Each object of the FileWriter class includes a list of objects of the
   Template class with information and statistics about the Templates
   written to the file.  The Template class is specified in Section 4.8.

4.4.5.  Options Class

   The Options class in Figure 21 defines the type of specific
   information to be reported, such as statistics, flow keys, Sampling
   and Filtering parameters etc.  [RFC5101] and [RFC5476] specify
   several types of reporting information which may be exported.  The
   following parameter values are specified by the configuration data
   model:

   meteringStatistics:  Export of Metering Process statistics using the
      Metering Process Statistics Options Template [RFC5101].

   meteringReliability:  Export of Metering Process reliability
      statistics using the Metering Process Reliability Statistics
      Options Template [RFC5101].

   exportingReliability:  Export of Exporting Process reliability
      statistics using the Exporting Process Reliability Statistics
      Options Template [RFC5101].

   flowKeys:  Export of the Flow Key specification using the Flow Keys
      Options Template [RFC5101].

      Interpretation and Selector Report Interpretation [RFC5476].

   selectionStatistics:  Export of Selection Sequence Statistics Report

   Figure 22 shows the CollectingProcess class that contains the
   configuration and state parameters of a Collecting Process.  Objects
   of the SctpCollector, UdpCollector, and TcpCollector classes specify
   how IPFIX Messages are received from remote Exporters.  The
   Collecting Process can also be configured as a File Reader using
   objects of the FileReader class.  These classes are described in
   Section 4.5.1, Section 4.5.2, Section 4.5.3, and Section 4.5.4.

   An CollectingProcess object MAY refer to one or multiple
   ExportingProcess objects configuring Exporting Processes that export
   the received data without modifications to a file or to another
   Collector.

                      Figure 23: SctpCollector class

   The SctpCollector class contains the configuration parameters of a
   listening SCTP socket at a Collecting Process.  The parameters are:

   localIPAddress:  List of local IP addresses on which the Collecting
      Process listens for IPFIX Messages.  The IP addresses are used as
      eligible local IP addresses of the multi-homed SCTP endpoint
      [RFC4960].  If omitted, the Collecting Process listens on all
      local IP addresses.

   localPort:  Local port number on which the Collecting Process listens
      for IPFIX Messages.  If omitted, standard port 4739 (IPFIX without
      TLS and DTLS) or 4740 (IPFIX over TLS or DTLS) is used.

   Using the TransportLayerSecurity class described in Section 4.6,
   datagram transport layer security (DTLS) is enabled and configured
   for this receiving socket.

   As state data, the SctpCollector class contains the list of currently
   established Transport Sessions that terminate at the given SCTP
   socket of the Collecting Process.  The TransportSession class is
   specified in Section 4.7.

   The UdpCollector class contains the configuration parameters of a
   listening UDP socket at a Collecting Process.  The parameter
   localPort has the same meaning as in the SctpCollector class (see
   Section 4.5.1).  The remaining parameters are:

   localIPAddress:  List of local IP addresses on which the Collecting
      Process listens for IPFIX Messages.  If omitted, the Collecting
      Process listens on all local IP addresses.

   templateLifeTime, optionsTemplateLifeTime:  (Options) Template
      lifetime in seconds for all UDP Transport Sessions terminating at
      this UDP socket.  (Options) Templates which are not received again
      within the configured lifetime become invalid at the Collecting
      Process.
      As specified in [RFC5101], Section 10.3.7, the lifetime of
      Templates and Options Templates MUST be at least three times
      higher than the templateRefreshTimeout and
      optionTemplatesRefreshTimeout parameter values configured on the
      corresponding Exporting Processes.
      If not configured, the default value 1800 is used, which is three
      times the default (Options) Template refresh timeout (see
      Section 4.4.2) as specified in [RFC5101].
      Note that these parameters correspond to
      ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshTimeout and
      ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshTimeout in the IPFIX
      MIB module [RFC5815].

   templateLifePacket, optionsTemplateLifePacket:  If templateLifePacket
      is configured, Templates defined in a UDP Transport Session become
      invalid if they are neither included in a sequence of more than
      this number of IPFIX Messages nor received again within the period
      of time specified by templateLifeTime.  Similarly, if

      optionsTemplateLifePacket is configured, Options Templates become
      invalid if they are neither included in a sequence of more than
      this number of IPFIX Messages nor received again within the period
      of time specified by optionsTemplateLifeTime.
      If not configured, Templates and Options Templates only become
      invalid according to the lifetimes specified by templateLifeTime
      and optionsTemplateLifeTime, respectively.
      Note that these parameters correspond to
      ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshPacket and
      ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshPacket in the IPFIX MIB
      module [RFC5815].

   Using the TransportLayerSecurity class described in Section 4.6,
   datagram transport layer security (DTLS) is enabled and configured
   for this receiving socket.

   As state data, the UdpCollector class contains the list of currently
   established Transport Sessions that terminate at the given UDP socket
   of the Collecting Process.  The TransportSession class is specified

   The Collecting Process may import IPFIX Messages from a file as
   specified in [RFC5655].  The FileReader class defines the following
   configuration parameter:

   file:  File name and location specified as URI.

   The state parameters of the FileReader class are:

   bytes, messages, records, templates, optionsTemplates:  The number of
      bytes, IPFIX Messages, Data Records, Template Records, and Options
      Template Records read by the File Reader.  Discontinuities in the
      values of these counters can occur at re-initialization of the
      management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of
      fileReaderDiscontinuityTime.

   fileReaderDiscontinuityTime:  Timestamp of the most recent occasion
      at which one or more File Reader counters suffered a
      discontinuity.  In contrast to discontinuity times in the IPFIX
      MIB module, the time is absolute and not relative to sysUpTime.

   Each object of the FileReader class includes a list of objects of the
   Template class with information and statistics about the Templates
   read from the file.  The Template class is specified in Section 4.8.

                  Figure 27: TransportLayerSecurity class

   The TransportLayerSecurity class is used in the Exporting Process's
   SctpExporter, UdpExporter, and TcpExporter classes and the Collecting
   Process's SctpCollector, UdpCollector, and TcpCollector classes to
   enable and configure transport layer security for IPFIX.  Transport
   layer security can be enabled without configuring any additional
   parameters.  In this case, an empty XML element
   <transportLayerSecurity /> appears in the configuration.  If
   transport layer security is enabled, the endpoint must use DTLS
   [RFC4347] if the transport protocol is SCTP or UDP, and TLS [RFC5246]
   if the transport protocol is TCP.

   [RFC5101] mandates strong mutual authentication of Exporting
   Processes and Collecting Process:

      "IPFIX Exporting Processes and IPFIX Collecting Processes are
      identified by the fully qualified domain name of the interface on
      which IPFIX Messages are sent or received, for purposes of X.509
      client and server certificates as in [RFC5280].

      To prevent man-in-the-middle attacks from impostor Exporting or
      Collecting Processes, the acceptance of data from an unauthorized
      Exporting Process, or the export of data to an unauthorized
      Collecting Process, strong mutual authentication via asymmetric
      keys MUST be used for both TLS and DTLS.  Each of the IPFIX
      Exporting and Collecting Processes MUST verify the identity of its
      peer against its authorized certificates, and MUST verify that the
      peer's certificate matches its fully qualified domain name, or, in
      the case of SCTP, the fully qualified domain name of one of its
      endpoints.

      The fully qualified domain name used to identify an IPFIX
      Collecting Process or Exporting Process may be stored either in a
      subjectAltName extension of type dNSName, or in the most specific



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 45]

      Common Name field of the Subject field of the X.509 certificate.
      If both are present, the subjectAltName extension is given
      preference."

   In order to use transport layer security, appropriate certificates
   and keys have to be previously installed on the Monitoring Devices.
   For security reasons, the configuration data model does not offer the
   possibility to upload any certificates or keys on a Monitoring
   Device.  If transport layer security is enabled on a Monitoring
   Device which does not dispose of appropriate certificates and keys,
   the configuration MUST be rejected with an error.

   The configuration data model allows restricting the authorization of
   remote endpoints to certificates issued by specific certification
   authorities or identifying specific fully qualified domain names for
   authorization.  Furthermore, the configuration data model allows
   restricting the utilization of certificates identifying the local
   endpoint.  This is useful if the Monitoring Device disposes of more
   than one certificate for the given local endpoint.

   The configuration parameters are defined as follows:

   localCertificationAuthorityDN:  This parameter MAY appear one or
      multiple times to restrict the identification of the local
      endpoint during the TLS/DTLS handshake to certificates issued by
      the configured certification authorities.  Each occurrence of this
      parameter contains the distinguished name of one certification
      authority.
      To identify the local endpoint, the Exporting Process or
      Collecting Process MUST use a certificate issued by one of the
      configured certification authority.  Certificates issued by any
      other certification authority MUST NOT be sent to the remote peer
      during TLS/DTLS handshake.  If none of the certificates installed
      on the Monitoring Device fulfills the specified restrictions, the
      configuration MUST be rejected with an error.
      If localCertificationAuthorityDN is not configured, the choice of
      certificates identifying the local endpoint is not restricted with
      respect to the issuing certification authority.

   localSubjectDN, localSubjectFQDN:  Each of these parameters MAY
      appear one or multiple times to restrict the identification of the
      local endpoint during the TLS/DTLS handshake to certificates
      issued for specific subjects or for specific fully qualified
      domain names.  Each occurrence of localSubjectDN contains a
      distinguished name identifying the local endpoint.  Each
      occurrence of localSubjectFQDN contains a fully qualified domain
      name which is assigned to the local endpoint.
      To identify the local endpoint, the Exporting Process or

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


      Collecting Process MUST use a certificate that contains either one
      of the configured distinguished names in the subject field or at
      least one of the configured fully qualified domain names in a
      dNSName component of the subject alternative extension field or in
      the most specific commonName component of the subject field.  If
      none of the certificates installed on the Monitoring Device
      fulfills the specified restrictions, the configuration MUST be
      rejected with an error.
      If any of the parameters localSubjectDN and localSubjectFQDN is
      configured at the same time as the localCertificationAuthorityDN
      parameter, certificates MUST also fulfill the specified
      restrictions regarding the certification authority.
      If localSubjectDN and localSubjectFQDN are not configured, the
      choice of certificates identifying the local endpoint is not
      restricted with respect to the subject's distinguished name or
      fully qualified domain name.

   remoteCertificationAuthorityDN:  This parameter MAY appear one or
      multiple times to restrict the authentication of remote endpoints
      during the TLS/DTLS handshake to certificates issued by the
      configured certification authorities.  Each occurrence of this
      parameter contains the distinguished name of one certification
      authority.
      To authenticate the remote endpoint, the remote Exporting Process
      or Collecting Process MUST provide a certificate issued by one of
      the configured certification authority.  Certificates issued by
      any other certification authority MUST be rejected during TLS/DTLS
      handshake.
      If the Monitoring Device is not able to validate certificates
      issued by the configured certification authorities (e.g., because
      of missing public keys), the configuration must be rejected with
      an error.
      If remoteCertificationAuthorityDN is not configured, the
      authorization of remote endpoints is not restricted with respect
      to the issuing certification authority of the delivered
      certificate.

   remoteSubjectDN, remoteSubjectFQDN:  Each of these parameters MAY
      appear one or multiple times to restrict the authentication of
      remote endpoints during the TLS/DTLS handshake to certificates
      issued for specific subjects or for specific fully qualified
      domain names.  Each occurrence of remoteSubjectDN contains a
      distinguished name identifying a remote endpoint.  Each occurrence
      of remoteSubjectFQDN contains a fully qualified domain name which
      is assigned to a remote endpoint.
      To authenticate a remote endpoint, the remote Exporting Process or
      Collecting Process MUST provide a certificate that contains either
      one of the configured distinguished names in the subject field or

      at least one of the configured fully qualified domain names in a
      dNSName component of the subject alternative extension field or in
      the most specific commonName component of the subject field.
      Certificates not fulfilling this condition MUST be rejected during
      TLS/DTLS handshake.
      If any of the parameters remoteSubjectDN and remoteSubjectFQDN is
      configured at the same time as the remoteCertificationAuthorityDN
      parameter, certificates MUST also fulfill the specified
      restrictions regarding the certification authority in order to be
      accepted.
      If remoteSubjectDN and remoteSubjectFQDN are not configured, the
      authorization of remote endpoints is not restricted with respect
      to the subject's distinguished name or fully qualified domain name
      of the delivered certificate.

   6.4) and use more than one IP address.  In the IPFIX MIB module,
   ipfixTransportSessionSctpAssocId is used instead of
   ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddress and
   ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress to point to an entry in the
   sctpAssocTable defined in the SCTP MIB module [RFC3871].  Since we
   cannot assume that an SNMP agent offering access to the SCTP MIB
   module exists on the Monitoring Device, the configuration data model
   cannot rely on this parameter.  Therefore, the state parameters
   sourceAddress and destinationAddress are used for SCTP as well,
   containing one of the potentially many Exporter and Collector IP
   addresses in the SCTP association.  Preferably, the IP addresses of
   the path which is usually selected by the Exporter to send IPFIX
   Messages to the Collector SHOULD be contained.

   Several MIB objects of the ipfixTransportSessionTable are omitted in
   the TransportSession class.  The MIB object
   ipfixTransportSessionDeviceMode is not included because its value can
   be derived from the context in which a TransportSession object
   appears: exporting(1) if it belongs to an Exporting Process,
   collecting(2) if it belongs to a Collecting Process.  Similarly, the
   MIB object ipfixTransportSessionProtocol is not included as the
   transport protocol is known from the context as well.  The MIB
   objects ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshTimeout,
   ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshTimeout,
   ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshPacket, and
   ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshPacket are not included
   since they correspond to configuration parameters of the UdpExporter
   class (templateRefreshTimeout, optionsTemplateRefreshTimeout,
   templateRefreshPacket, optionsTemplateRefreshPacket) and the
   UdpCollector class (templateLifeTime, optionsTemplateLifeTime,
   templateLifePacket, optionsTemplateLifePacket).

   ipfixVersion:  Used for Exporting Processes, this parameter contains
      the version number of the IPFIX protocol that the Exporter uses to
      export its data in this Transport Session.  Hence, it is identical
      to the value of the configuration parameter ipfixVersion of the
      outer SctpExporter, UdpExporter, or TcpExporter object.
      Used for Collecting Processes, this parameter contains the version
      number of the IPFIX protocol it receives for this Transport
      Session.  If IPFIX Messages of different IPFIX protocol versions
      are received, this parameter contains the maximum version number.
      This state parameter is identical to
      ipfixTransportSessionIpfixVersion in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   sourceAddress, destinationAddress:  If TCP or UDP is transport
      protocol, sourceAddress contains the IP address of the Exporter;
      destinationAddress contains the IP addresses of the Collector.
      Hence, the two parameters have identical values as
      ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddress and
      ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].
      If SCTP is transport protocol, sourceAddress contains one of the
      IP addresses of the Exporter and destinationAddress one of the IP
      addresses of the Collector.  Preferably, the IP addresses of the
      path which is usually selected by the Exporter to send IPFIX
      Messages to the Collector SHOULD be contained.

   sourcePort, destinationPort:  These state parameters contain the
      transport protocol port numbers of the Exporter and the Collector
      of the Transport Session and thus are identical to
      ipfixTransportSessionSourcePort and
      ipfixTransportSessionDestinationPort in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   sctpAssocId:  The association id used for the SCTP session between
      the Exporter and the Collector of the Transport Session.  It is
      equal to the sctpAssocId entry in the sctpAssocTable defined in
      the SCTP-MIB [RFC3871].
      This parameter is only available if the transport protocol is SCTP
      and if an SNMP agent on the same Monitoring Device enables access
      to the corresponding MIB objects in the sctpAssocTable.
      This state parameter is identical to
      ipfixTransportSessionSctpAssocId in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   status:  Status of the Transport Session, which can be one of the
      following:
      *  inactive: Transport Session is established, but no IPFIX
         Messages are currently transferred (e.g., because this is a
         backup (secondary) session)
      *  active: Transport Session is established and transfers IPFIX
         Messages
      *  unknown: Transport Session status cannot be determined
      This state parameter is identical to ipfixTransportSessionStatus
      in the IPFIX MIB module [RFC5815].

   rate:  The number of bytes per second transmitted by the Exporting
      Process or received by the Collecting Process.  This parameter is
      updated every second.
      This state parameter is identical to ipfixTransportSessionRate in
      the IPFIX MIB module [RFC5815].

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   bytes, messages, records, templates, optionsTemplates:  The number of
      bytes, IPFIX Messages, Data Records, Template Records, and Options
      Template Records transmitted by the Exporting Process or received
      by the Collecting Process.  Discontinuities in the values of these
      counters can occur at re-initialization of the management system,
      and at other times as indicated by the value of
      transportSessionDiscontinuityTime.

   discardedMessages:  Used for Exporting Processes, this parameter
      indicates the number of messages that could not be sent due to
      internal buffer overflows, network congestion, routing issues,
      etc.
      Used for Collecting Process, this parameter indicates the number
      of received IPFIX Message that are malformed, cannot be decoded,
      are received in the wrong order or are missing according to the
      sequence number.
      Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-
      initialization of the management system, and at other times as
      indicated by the value of transportSessionDiscontinuityTime.

   transportSessionStartTime:  Timestamp of the start of the given
      Transport Session.
      This state parameter does not correspond to any object in the
      IPFIX MIB module.

   transportSessionDiscontinuityTime:  Timestamp of the most recent
      occasion at which one or more of the Transport Session counters
      suffered a discontinuity.  In contrast to
      ipfixTransportSessionDiscontinuityTime, the time is absolute and
      not relative to sysUpTime.

   Note that, if used for Exporting Processes, the values of the state
   parameters destinationAddress and destinationPort match the values of
   the configuration parameters destinationIPAddress and destinationPort
   of the outer SctpExporter, TcpExporter, and UdpExporter objects (in
   the case of SctpExporter, one of the configured destinationIPAddress
   values); if the transport protocol is UDP or SCTP and if the
   parameter sourceIPAddress is configured in the outer UdpExporter or
   SctpExporter object, the value of sourceAddress equals the configured
   value or one of the configured values.  Used for Collecting
   Processes, the value of destinationAddress equals the value (or one
   of the values) of the parameter localIPAddress if this parameter is
   configured in the outer UdpCollector, TcpCollector, or SctpCollector
   object; destinationPort equals the value of the configuration
   parameter localPort.

   Each object of the TransportSession class includes a list of objects
   of the Template class with information and statistics about the

                         Figure 29: Template class

   The Template class contains state data about Templates used by an
   Exporting Process or received by a Collecting Process in a specific
   Transport Session.  The Field class defines one field of the
   Template.  The names and semantics of the state parameters correspond
   to the managed objects in the ipfixTemplateTable,
   ipfixTemplateDefinitionTable, and ipfixTemplateStatsTable of the
   IPFIX MIB module [RFC5815]:

   observationDomainId:  The ID of the Observation Domain for which this
      Template is defined.

   templateId:  This number indicates the Template Id in the IPFIX
      message.








Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 52]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   setId:  This number indicates the Set ID of the Template.
      Currently, there are two values defined [RFC5101].  The value 2 is
      used for Sets containing Template definitions.  The value 3 is
      used for Sets containing Options Template definitions.

   accessTime:  Used for Exporting Processes, this parameter contains
      the time when this (Options) Template was last sent to the
      Collector or written to the file.
      Used for Collecting Processes, this parameter contains the time
      when this (Options) Template was last received from the Exporter
      or read from the file.

   templateDataRecords:  The number of transmitted or received Data
      Records defined by this (Options) Template since the point in time
      indicated by templateDefinitionTime.

   templateDiscontinuityTime:  Timestamp of the most recent occasion at
      which the counter templateDataRecords suffered a discontinuity.
      In contrast to ipfixTemplateDiscontinuityTime, the time is
      absolute and not relative to sysUpTime.

   ieId, ieLength, ieEnterpriseNumber:  Information Element ID, length,
      and enterprise number of a field in the Template.  If this is not
      an enterprise-specific Information Element, ieEnterpriseNumber is
      zero.
      These state parameters are identical to
      ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeId, ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeLength, and
      ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeEnterpriseNumber in the IPFIX MIB module
      [RFC5815].

   isFlowKey:  If this state parameter is present, this is a Flow Key
      field.
      This parameter is only available for non-Options Templates (i.e.,
      if setId is 2).

   isFlowKey:  If this state parameter is present, this is a scope
      field.
      This parameter is only available for Options Templates (i.e., if
      setId is 3).


5.  Adaptation to Device Capabilities

   The configuration data model standardizes a superset of common IPFIX
   and PSAMP configuration parameters.  A typical Monitoring Device
   implementation will not support the entire range of possible
   configurations.  Certain functions may not be supported, such as the
   Collecting Process that does not exist on a Monitoring Device which



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 53]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   is conceived as Exporter only.  The configuration of other functions
   may be subject to resource limitations or functional restrictions.
   For example, the Cache size is typically limited according to the
   available memory on the device.  It is also possible that a
   Monitoring Device implementation requires the configuration of
   additional parameters which are not part of the configuration data
   model in order to function properly.

   YANG [RFC6020] offers several possibilities to restrict and adapt a
   configuration data model.  The current version of YANG defines the
   concepts of features, deviations, and extensions.

   The feature concept allows the author of a configuration data model
   to make proportions of the model conditional in a manner that is
   controlled by the device.  Devices do not have to support these
   conditional parts to conform to the model.  If the NETCONF protocol
   is used, features which are supported by the device are announced in
   the <hello> message [RFC6241].

   The configuration data model for IPFIX and PSAMP covers the
   configuration of Exporters, Collectors, and devices that may act as
   both.  As Exporters and Collectors implement different functions, the
   corresponding proportions of the model are conditional on the
   following features:

   exporter:  If this feature is supported, Exporting Processes can be
      configured.

   collector:  If this feature is supported, Collecting Processes can be
      configured.

   Exporters do not necessarily implement any Selection Processes,
   Caches, or even Observation Points in particular cases.  Therefore,
   the corresponding proportions of the model are conditional on the
   following feature:

   meter:  If this feature is supported, Observation Points, Selection
      Processes, and Caches can be configured.

   Additional features refer to different PSAMP Sampling and Filtering
   methods as well as to the supported types of Caches:

   psampSampCountBased:  If this feature is supported, Sampling method
      sampCountBased can be configured.







Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 54]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   psampSampTimeBased:  If this feature is supported, Sampling method
      sampTimeBased can be configured.

   psampSampRandOutOfN:  If this feature is supported, Sampling method
      sampRandOutOfN can be configured.

   psampSampUniProb:  If this feature is supported, Sampling method
      sampUniProb can be configured.

   psampFilterMatch:  If this feature is supported, Filtering method
      filterMatch can be configured.

   psampFilterHash:  If this feature is supported, Filtering method
      filterHash can be configured.

   immediateCache:  If this feature is supported, a Cache generating
      PSAMP Packet Reports can be configured using the ImmediateCache
      class.

   timeoutCache:  If this feature is supported, a Cache generating IPFIX
      Flow Records can be configured using the TimeoutCache class.

   naturalCache:  If this feature is supported, a Cache generating IPFIX
      Flow Records can be configured using the NaturalCache class.

   permanentCache:  If this feature is supported, a Cache generating
      IPFIX Flow Records can be configured using the PermanentCache
      class.

   The following features concern the support of UDP and TCP as
   transport protocols and the support of File Readers and File Writers:

   udpTransport:  If this feature is supported, UDP can be used as
      transport protocol by Exporting Processes and Collecting
      Processes.

   tcpTransport:  If this feature is supported, TCP can be used as
      transport protocol by Exporting Processes and Collecting
      Processes.

   fileReader:  If this feature is supported, File Readers can be
      configured as part of Collecting Processes.

   fileWriter:  If this feature is supported, File Writers can be
      configured as part of Exporting Processes.

   The deviation concept enables a device to announce deviations from
   the standard model using the "deviation" statement.  For example, it



Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 55]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   is possible to restrict the value range of a specific parameter or to
   define that the configuration of a certain parameter is not supported
   at all.  Hence, deviations are typically used to specify limitations
   due to resource constraints or functional restrictions.  Deviations
   concern existing parameters of the original configuration data model
   and must not be confused with model extensions.  Model extensions are
   specified with the "augment" statement and allow adding new
   parameters to the original configuration data model.

   If certain device-specific constraints cannot be formally specified
   with YANG, they MUST be expressed with human-readable text using the
   "description" statement.  The provided information MUST enable the
   user to define a configuration which is entirely supported by the
   Monitoring Device.  On the other hand, if a Monitoring Device is
   configured, it MUST notify the user about any part of the
   configuration which is not supported.  The Monitoring Device MUST NOT
   silently accept configuration data which cannot be completely
   enforced.  If the NETCONF protocol is used to send configuration data
   to the Monitoring Device, the error handling is specified in the
   NETCONF protocol specification [RFC6241].

   Just like features, deviations and model extensions are announced in
   NETCONF's <hello> message.  A usage example of deviations is given in
   Section 7.5.


6.  YANG Module of the IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model

   The YANG module specification of the configuration data model is
   listed below.  It makes use of the common YANG types defined in the

7.  Examples

   This section shows example configurations conforming to the YANG
   module specified in Section 6.

7.1.  PSAMP Device

   This configuration example configures two Observation Points
   capturing ingress traffic at eth0 and all traffic at eth1.  Both
   Observed Packet Streams enter two different Selection Processes.  The
   first Selection Process implements a Composite Selectors of a filter
   for UDP packets and a random sampler.  The second Selection Process
   implements a Primitive Selector of an ICMP filter.  The Selected
   Packet Streams of both Selection Processes enter the same Cache.  The
   Cache generates a PSAMP Packet Report for every selected packet.

   The associated Exporting Process exports to a Collector using PR-SCTP
   and DTLS.  The transport layer security parameters specify that the
   collector must supply a certificate for the fully qualified domain
   name collector.example.net.  Valid certificates from any
   certification authority will be accepted.  As the destination
   transport port is omitted, the standard IPFIX-over-DTLS port 4740 is
   used.

   The parameters of the Selection Processes are reported as Selection
   Sequence Report Interpretations and Selector Report Interpretations
   [RFC5476].  There will be two Selection Sequence Report
   Interpretations per Selection Process, one for each Observation
   Point.  Selection Sequence Statistics Report Interpretations are

   The above configuration results in one Template and six Options
   Templates.  For the remainder of the example, we assume Template ID
   256 for the Template and Template IDs 257 to 262 for the Options
   Templates.  The Template is used to export the Packet Reports and has
   the following fields:

      Template ID: 256
      ipHeaderPacketSection (ID = 313, length = 64)
      observationTimeMilliseconds (ID = 322, length = 8)

   Two Options Template are used for the Selection Sequence Report
   Interpretations.  The first one has one selectorId field and is used
   for the Selection Process "ICMP packets".  The second one has two
   selectorId fields to describe the two selectors of the Selection
   Process "Sampled UDP packets".

      Template ID: 257
      Scope: selectionSequenceId (ID = 301, length = 8)
      observationPointId (ID = 138, length = 4)
      selectorId (ID = 302, length = 4)

      Template ID: 258
      Scope: selectionSequenceId (ID = 301, length = 8)
      observationPointId (ID = 138, length = 4)
      selectorId (ID = 302, length = 4)
      selectorId (ID = 302, length = 4)

   Another Options Template is used to carry the Property Match
   Filtering Selector Report Interpretation for the Selectors "UDP
   filter" and "ICMP filter":

      Template ID: 259
      Scope: selectorId (ID = 302, length = 4)
      selectorAlgorithm (ID = 304, length = 2)
      protocolIdentifier (ID = 4, length = 1)

   Yet another Options Template is used to carry the Random n-out-of-N
   Sampling Selector Report Interpretation for the Selector "10-out-of-
   100 sampler":

      Template ID: 260
      Scope: selectorId (ID = 302, length = 4)
      selectorAlgorithm (ID = 304, length = 2)
      samplingSize (ID = 319, length = 4)
      samplingPopulation (ID = 310, length = 4)

   The last two Options Template are used to carry the Selection
   Sequence Statistics Report Interpretation for the Selection

   Processes, containing the statistics for one and two Selectors,
   respectively:

      Template ID: 261
      Scope: selectionSequenceId (ID = 301, length = 8)
      selectorIdTotalPktsObserved (ID = 318, length = 8)
      selectorIdTotalPktsSelected (ID = 319, length = 8)

      Template ID: 262
      Scope: selectionSequenceId (ID = 301, length = 8)
      selectorIdTotalPktsObserved (ID = 318, length = 8)
      selectorIdTotalPktsSelected (ID = 319, length = 8)
      selectorIdTotalPktsObserved (ID = 318, length = 8)
      selectorIdTotalPktsSelected (ID = 319, length = 8)

   After a short runtime, 100 packets have been observed at the two
   Obervations Points, including 20 UDP and 5 ICMP packets. 3 of the UDP
   packets are selected by the random sampler, which results in a total
   of 8 Packet Reports generated by the Cache.  Under these
   circumstances, the complete configuration and state data of the PSAMP
   Device may look as follows:

7.2.  IPFIX Device

   This configuration example demonstrates the shared usage of a Cache
   for maintaining Flow Records from two Observation Points belonging to
   different Observation Domains.  Packets are selected using different
   Sampling techniques: count-based Sampling for the first Observation
   Point (eth0) and selection of all packets for the second Observation
   Point (eth1).  The Exporting Process sends the Flow Records to a
   primary destination using SCTP.  A UDP Collector is specified as
   secondary destination.

   Exporting Process reliability statistics [RFC5101] are exported
   periodically every minute (60000 milliseconds).  Selection Sequence
   Report Interpretations and Selector Report Interpretations [RFC5476]
   are exported once after configuring the Selection Processes.  In
   total, two Selection Sequence Report Interpretations will be
   exported, one for each Selection Process.

7.3.  Export of Flow Records and Packet Reports

   This configuration example demonstrates the combined export of Flow
   Records and Packet Reports for a single Observation Point.  One
   Selection Process applies random Sampling to the Observed Packet
   Stream.  Its output is passed to a Cache generating Flow Records.  In
   parallel, the Observed Packet Stream enters a second Selection
   Process which discards all non-ICMP packets and passes the selected
   packets to a second Cache for generating Packet Reports.  The output
   of both Caches is exported to a single Collector using SCTP.

7.5.  Deviations

   Assume that a Monitoring Device has only two interfaces ifIndex=1 and
   ifIndex=2 which can be configured as Observation Points.  The
   Observation Point ID is always identical to the ifIndex.

   The following YANG module specifies these deviations.

8.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via
   the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241].  The lowest NETCONF layer is the
   secure transport layer and the mandatory to implement secure
   transport is SSH [RFC6242].

   There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module which
   are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e. config true, which is the
   default).  These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
   in some network environments.  Write operations (e.g. edit-config) to
   these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect
   on network operations.  These are the subtrees and data nodes and
   their sensitivity/vulnerability:








Muenz, et al.  draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-10 .txt    [Page 120]

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   /ipfix/observationPoint
      The configuration parameters in this subtree specify where packets
      are observed and by which Selection Processes they will be
      processed.  Write access to this subtree allows observing packets
      at arbitrary interfaces or linecards of the Monitoring Device and
      may thus lead to the export of sensitive traffic information.
   /ipfix/selectionProcess
      The configuration parameters in this subtree specify for which
      packets information will be reported in Packet Reports or Flow
      Records.  Write access to this subtree allows changing the subset
      of packets for which information will be reported and may thus
      lead to the export of sensitive traffic information.
   /ipfix/cache
      The configuration parameters in this subtree specify the fields
      included in Packet Reports or Flow Records.  Write access to this
      subtree allows adding fields which may contain sensitive traffic
      information, such as IP addresses or parts of the packet payload.
   /ipfix/exportingProcess
      The configuration parameters in this subtree specify to which
      Collectors Packet Reports or Flow Records are exported.  Write
      access to this subtree allows exporting potentially sensitive
      traffic information to illegitimate Collectors.  Furthermore,
      transport layer security parameters can be changed, which may
      affect the mutual authentication between Exporters and Collectors
      as well as the encrypted transport of the data.
   /ipfix/collectingProcess
      The configuration parameters in this subtree may specify that
      collected Packet Reports and Flow Records are reexported to
      another Collector or written to a file.  Write access to this
      subtree potentially allows reexporting or storing the sensitive
      traffic information.

   Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control read access (e.g. via get, get-config or
   notification) to these data nodes.  These are the subtrees and data
   nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /ipfix/observationPoint
      Parameters in this subtree may be sensitive because they reveal
      information about the Monitoring Device itself and the network
      infrastructure.
   /ipfix/selectionProcess
      Parameters in this subtree may be sensitive because they reveal
      information about the Monitoring Device itself and the observed
      traffic.  For example, the counters packetsObserved and
      packetsDropped inferring the number of observed packets.

Internet-Draft    IPFIX/PSAMP Configuration Data Model         July 2011


   /ipfix/cache
      Parameters in this subtree may be sensitive because they reveal
      information about the Monitoring Device itself and the observed
      traffic.  For example, the counters activeFlows and dataRecords
      allow inferring the number of measured Flows or packets.
   /ipfix/exportingProcess
      Parameters in this subtree may be sensitive because they reveal
      information about the network infrastructure and the outgoing
      IPFIX Transport Sessions.  For example, it discloses the IP
      addresses of Collectors as well as the deployed transport layer
      security configuration, which may facilitate the interception of
      outgoing IPFIX Messages.
   /ipfix/collectingProcess
      Parameters in this subtree may be sensitive because they reveal
      information about the network infrastructure and the incoming
      IPFIX Transport Sessions.  For example, it discloses the IP
      addresses of Exporters as well as the deployed transport layer
      security configuration, which may facilitate the interception of
      incoming IPFIX Messages.
