1.   The Internet-Standard Management Framework 
 
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current 
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of 
RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. 
 
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed 
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally 
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). 
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the 
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB 
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, 
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 
[RFC2580]. 
 
2.   Introduction 
 
A multimedia terminal adapter (MTA) is used to deliver broadband 
Internet, data, and/or voice access jointly with telephony service 
to a subscriber's or customer's premises using a cable network 
infrastructure. An MTA is normally installed at the customer's or 
subscriber's premises, and it is coupled to a multiple system 
operator (MSO) using a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) access network.

PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB                     July 2007 
 
 
An MTA is provisioned by the MSO for broadband Internet, data, 
and/or voice service. For more information on MTA provisioning refer 
to the PacketCable Provisioning Specification [PKT-SP-PROV] and 
[RFC4682]. MTA devices include one or more endpoints (e.g., 
telephone ports) which receive call signaling information to 
establish ring cadence, and codecs used for providing telephony 
service. For more information on call signaling refer to the 
PacketCable Signaling Specification [PKT-SP-MGCP] and [RFC3435]. For 
more information on codecs refer to the Packetcable Audio/Video 
Codecs Specification [PKT-SP-CODEC]. 
 
Telephone systems are typically very complex and often have a wide 
distribution. It is therefore important for management systems to 
support MTAs from multiple vendors at the same time, including those 
from multiple countries. This MIB module provides objects suitable 
for managing signaling for MTA devices in the widest possible range 
of markets. 
 
3.   Terminology 
 
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this 
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 
 
The terms "MIB module" and "information module" are used 
interchangeably in this memo.  As used here, both terms refer to any 
of the three types of information modules defined in Section 3 of 
RFC 2578 [RFC2578]. 
 
3.1    MTA 
 
An MTA is a PacketCable or IPCablecom compliant device providing 
telephony services over a cable or hybrid system used to deliver 
video signals to a community. It contains an interface to endpoints, 
a network interface, codecs, and all signaling and encapsulation 
functions required for Voice over IP transport, call signaling, and 
Quality of Service signaling. An MTA can be an embedded or a 
standalone device. An Embedded MTA (E-MTA) is an MTA device 
containing an embedded Data Over Cable Service Interface 
Specifications (DOCSIS) Cable Modem. A Standalone MTA (S-MTA) is an 
MTA device separated from the DOCSIS Cable Modem by non-DOCSIS MAC 
interface (e.g., Ethernet, USB). 
 
3.2    Endpoint 
 
An endpoint or MTA endpoint is a standard telephony physical port 
located on the MTA and used for attaching the telephone device to 
the MTA.

3.3    L Line Package 
 
The L line package refers to the MGCP package for the core signaling 
functionality as defined by PacketCable and IPCablecom. An MTA 
provides all L package elements, however the operator determines 
their application. 
 
3.4    E Line Package 
 
The E line package refers to the MGCP package extensions, over and 
above the core L package, defined in support of international 
requirements. E line package elements are optional, vary from 
country to country, and are set by operator or regulatory 
requirements. 
 
4.   Overview 
This MIB module provides a set of objects required for Multimedia 
Terminal Adapter (MTA) devices compliant with the PacketCable and 
IPCablecom signaling specifications published by CableLabs, the 
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the 
International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication 
Standardization Sector (ITU-T)IPCablecom compliant Multimedia 
Terminal Adapter (MTA) devices. The Signaling MIB module (PKTC-SIG-
MIB) is intended to update various Signaling MIB modules from which 
it is partly derived: 
  - the PacketCable 1.0 Signaling MIB Specification 
    [PKT-SP-MIB-SIG-1.0], 
  - the PacketCable 1.5 Signaling MIB Specification 
    [PKT-SP-MIB-SIG-1.5], 
  - the ITU-T IPCablecom Signaling MIB requirements [ITU-T-J169], 
  - the ETSI Signaling MIB [ETSI-TS-101-909-9]. The ETSI Signaling    
    MIB requirements also refer to various signal characteristics 
    defined in [ETSI-TS-101-909-4], [ETSI-EN-300-001],  
    [ETSI-EN-300-659-1], [ETSI-EN-300-324-1] and [ETSI-TR-101-183]. 
Several normative and informative references are used to help define 
Signaling MIB objects. As a convention, wherever PacketCable and 
IPCablecom requirements are equivalent, the PacketCable reference is 
used in the object REFERENCE clause. IPCablecom compliant MTA 
devices MUST use the equivalent IPCablecom references. 
 
This MIB module describes the various Signaling MIB objects that are 
directly related to the PacketCable MTA and the endpoints supported 
on the MTA, each of which provides services independently. The 
recognition and distinction of the endpoints is made by utilizing 
the ifTable (IF-MIB [RFC2863]), where each index (ifIndex) refers to 
a unique endpoint. This MIB module also utilizes the syntax 
definition of the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) from 
DIFFSERV-DSCP-TC [RFC3289] for defining MIB objects that allow for

differentiation between various types of traffic in the service 
provider network.  
 
 
 
 
4.1    Structure of the MIB 
 
 
This MIB module is identified by pktcSigMib and is structured into 
two major parts: 
 
- Signaling information that control device and endpoint 
configuration (pktcSigMibObjects) 
 
- Module Conformance information(pktcSigConformance) 
 
The following sections explain each part in further detail. It is to 
be noted that future enhancements to specify Notification Objects is 
also allowed(pktcSigNotification). 
 
 
4.2    pktcSigMibObjects 
 
This is further divided into device-specific elements 
(pktcSigDevObjects) and endpoint-specific elements 
(pktcNcsEndPntConfigObjects). 
 
Some highlights of the device-specific elements are as follows: 
 
pktcSigDevCodecTable - this object identifies the codec types 
available on the device. 
 
pktcSigDevEchoCancellation - This object identifies the capability 
of echo cancellation on the device. 
 
pktcSigDevSilenceSuppression - This object specifies if the device 
is capable of silence suppression (Voice Activity Detection). 
 
pktcSigPulseSignalTable - this international object selects the 
various signals used in the application of the metering pulse signal 
to the twisted pair line. 
 
pktcSigDevToneTable - this international table specifies a flexible 
structure within which to specify all of the tones used in the MTA. 
 
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable - this table defines the 
characteristics of tones with multiple frequencies. Each entry in

PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB                     July 2007 
 
 
this table represents the frequency reference of a multi-frequency 
tone. 
 
The endpoint-specific elements are mostly confined to the Endpoint 
configuration MIB table (pktcNcsEndPntConfigTable). This table 
describes the PacketCable NCS endPoint configuration. The number of 
entries in this table represents the number of provisioned 
endpoints. 
 
 
4.3    pktcSigConformance 
 
pktcNcsDeviceGroup - this group contains all the MIB  Objects that 
apply on a per-device basis and need to be implemented by an MTA to 
claim compliance with the specified MIB module.  
 
pktcNcsEndpointGroup - this group contains all the MIB Objects that 
apply on a per-endpoint basis and need to be implemented by an MTA 
to claim compliance with the specified MIB module. 
 
pktcLLinePackageGroup - this group contains the MIB Objects that 
need to be implemented to support the L Line Package.  
  
pktcELinePackageGroup - this group contains the MIB Objects that 
need to be implemented to support the E Line Package.  
 
pktcInternationalGroup - this group contains optional MIB Objects 
designed to support operations over the widest possible range of 
markets.

          The definition of the tones callWaiting1 through 
          callWaiting4 in this table MUST only contain the 
          audible tone itself; the delay between tones or the value 
          of the tone repeat count are not applicable for the call 
          waiting tones. 
 
          The delay between tones or the repeat count is controlled 
          by the objects pktcNcsEndPntConfigCallWaitingDelay, and 
          pktcNcsEndPntConfigCallWaitingMaxRep. If the  
          pktcSigDevToneType is set to either of the values 
          callWaiting1, callWaiting2, callWaiting3 or callWaiting4, 
          then the value of the pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount 
          object indicates that the particular frequency group is  
          applicable, as a repeatable part of the tone, based on the 
          value of the MIB Object  
          pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount.  
 
          The MTA MUST make sure that, after the provisioning  
          cycle, the table is fully populated (i.e., for each   
          possible index, an entry MUST be defined) using  
          reasonable defaults for each row that was not defined  
          by the provisioning information delivered via MTA  
          Configuration. 
 
          The frequency composition of each tone is defined by the

       "This MIB Object indicates the number of times 
       to repeat the cadence cycle represented by the  
       on/off durations (refer to the MIB Objects  
       pktcSigDevToneFreqOnDuration and  
       pktcSigDevToneFreqOffDuration).  
 
       Setting this object may result in a tone duration  
       longer or shorter than the overall signal duration  
       specified by the time out (TO) object for the  
       corresponding tone type. If the value of this MIB 
       Object indicates a longer duration than the  
       specified by the TO, the latter overrules the former 
       and the desired tone duration will be truncated according 
       to the TO. 
 
       However, if the repeat count results in a shorter 
       tone duration than the signal duration specified by 
       the TO, the tone duration defined by the repeat count 
       takes precedence over the TO and will end the signal 
       event. In this case, the TO represents a time not to

       be exceeded for the signal. It is recommended to 
       ensure proper telephony signaling that the TO 
       duration setting should always be longer than the 
       desired repeat count time duration. A value of zero 
       means the tone sequence is to be played once but not 
       repeated."

6.   Examples 
This section provides a couple of examples, specifically related  
to the MIB tables pktcSigDevToneTable and 
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable. 
 
Example A:  Call waiting tone defined per ITU-T E.180: 
 
1) 400 Hz AM modulated by 16 Hz, on for 500ms at -4 dBm 
2) 400 Hz AM modulated by 16 Hz, off for 400ms 
3) 400 Hz not AM modulated, on for 50 ms at -4 dBm 
4) 400 Hz not AM modulated, off for 450 ms 
5) 400 Hz not AM modulated, on for 50 ms at -4 dBm 
6) 400 Hz not AM modulated, off for 3450 ms 
7) 400 Hz not AM modulated, on for 50 ms at -4 dBm

8) 400 Hz not AM modulated, off for 450 ms 
9) 400 Hz not AM modulated, on for 50 ms at -4 dBm 
10)   400 Hz not AM modulated, off for 3450 ms 
11)   not repeated, not continuous 
 
Assume userDefined1(18) is assigned to this tone:

18          1             5              0       false(2)  
 
 
The single row of the pktcSigDevToneTable defines one multi- 
frequency group of five rows (ToneFreqCounter) defined in the  
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable and instructs the MTA to play this 
group only once (non-repeatable as ToneRep-Count equals 0).  
 
 
Example B - Congestion Tone - congestion(17): 
 
Note: This example of an embedded cadence is based on an operator 
variation. 
 
1) 400Hz on for 400ms -10 dBm 
2) 400Hz off for 350ms 
3) 400Hz on for 225ms -4 dBm 
4) 400Hz off for 525ms 
5) repeat (1) through (4) 5000 times or T0 timeout (which ever is 
shortest period)

Example C - Call Waiting Tone - callWaiting1(9): 
     
1) 16 Hz is modulated to carry the 400 Hz signal, ModulationRate 
within 85%, on for 500msec, at -25 dBm or more but less than -14 dBm 
2) 16 Hz is modulated to carry the 400 Hz signal, off for 0 ~ 4 secs 
3) 400 Hz not modulated, on for 50 ms at -25 dBm or more but less 
than -14 dBm 
4) 400 Hz not modulated, off for 450ms  
5) 400 Hz not modulated, on for 50 ms at -25 dBm or more but less 
than -14 dBm 
6) 400 Hz not modulated, off for 3450ms ([4000 - (50+450+50)])

The first row of the pktcSigDevToneTable table instructs the MTA to 
play one row (ToneFreqCounter) of the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable 
table only once (non-repeatable as ToneRep-Count equals 0). The 
second row of the pktcSigDevToneTable table instructs the MTA to 
play next two rows (ToneFreqCounter) of the 
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable table and make this frequency group 
repeatable (ToneRep-Count is not 0).

8.   Security Considerations 
 
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that 
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such 
objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network 
environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure 
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on 
network operations. 
 
The following Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) and mask 
objects are used to differentiate between various types of traffic 
in the service provider network: 
 
     pktcSigDefCallSigDscp 
 
 
Beacham/Kumar/Channabasappa Expires - January 2008           [Page 71] 

PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB                     July 2007 
 
 
     pktcSigDefMediaStreamDscp 
 
These objects may contain information that may be sensitive from a 
business perspective. For example, they may represent a customer's 
service contract that a service provider chooses to apply to a 
customer's ingress or egress traffic. If these objects are SET 
maliciously, it may permit unmarked or inappropriately marked 
signaling and media traffic to enter the service provider network, 
resulting in unauthorized levels of service for customers. 
 
The following objects determine ring cadence, repeatable 
characteristics, signal duration, and caller id subscriber line 
protocol for telephony operation: 
 
     pktcSigDevR0Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR1Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR2Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR3Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR4Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR5Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR6Cadence 
     pktcSigDevR7Cadence 
     pktcSigDevRgCadence 
     pktcSigDevRsCadence 
     pktcSigDevCidSigProtocol 
     pktcSigDevVmwiSigProtocol 
     pktcSigPulseSignalDuration 
     pktcSigPulseSignalPauseDuration 
 
If these objects are SET maliciously, it may result in unwanted 
operation, or a failure to obtain telephony service from client 
(MTA) devices. 
 
The objects in the pktcNcsEndPntConfigTable are used for endpoint 
signaling. The pktcNcsEndPntConfigCallAgentId object contains the 
name of the call agent, which includes the call agent Fully 
Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If this object is SET maliciously, the 
MTA will not be able to communicate with the call agent, resulting 
in a disruption of telephony service. The 
pktcNcsEndPntConfigCallAgentUdpPort object identifies the UDP port 
for NCS traffic. If this object is SET maliciously, the call agent 
will not receive NCS traffic from the MTA, also resulting in a 
disruption of telephony service. 
 
Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with 
a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive 
or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus important to 
control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly 
to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over 
 
 
Beacham/Kumar/Channabasappa Expires - January 2008           [Page 72] 

PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB                     July 2007 
 
 
the network via SNMP.  The most sensitive is 
pktcNcsEndPntStatusCallIpAddress within pktcNcsEndPntConfigTable. 
This information itself may be valuable to would-be attackers. 
 
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. 
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec), 
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is 
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the 
objects in this MIB module. 
 
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features 
as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), 
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for 
authentication and privacy). 
 
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT 
RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to 
enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator 
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an 
instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to 
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate 
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them. 
 
9.   IANA Considerations 
 
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned 
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry: 
 
Descriptor     OBJECT IDENTIFIER Value 
----------     ----------------------- 
pktcSigMib     { mib-2 XXX } 
 
Editor's Note (to be removed prior to publication): the IANA is 
requested to assign a value for XXX under the mib-2 subtree and to 
record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry. When the 
assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace XXX 
(here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove 
this note.
