Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
Abstract
Structure of Policy Provisioning Information (SPPI) describes a
structure for specifying policy information that can then be
transmitted to a network device for the purpose of configuring
policy at that device. The model underlying this structure is one
of well-defined PRovisioning Classes (PRCs) and instances of these
classes (PRIs) residing in a virtual information store called the
Policy Information Base (PIB).
One way to provision policy is by means of the Common Open Policy
Service (COPS) protocol with the extensions for provisioning. This
protocol supports multiple clients, each of which may provision
policy for a specific policy domain such as QoS, virtual private
networks, or security.
As described in COPS usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR), each
client supports a non-overlapping and independent set of PIB
modules. However, some PRovisioning Classes are common to all
subject-categories (client-types) and need to be present in each.
This document defines a set of PRCs and textual conventions that are
common to all clients that provision policy using COPS for
Provisioning.

2. General PIB Concepts
2.1. Roles
The policy to apply to an interface may depend on many factors such
as immutable characteristics of the interface (e.g., Ethernet or
frame relay), the status of the interface (e.g., half or full
duplex), or user configuration (e.g., branch office or headquarters
interface). Rather than specifying policies explicitly for each
interface of all devices in the network, policies are specified in
terms of interface functionality.
To describe these functionalities of an interface we use the concept
of "Roles". A Role is simply a string that is associated with an
interface. A given interface may have any number of roles
[Page 2]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
simultaneously. Provisioning classes have an attribute called a
"RoleCombination" which is a lexicographically ordered set of roles.
Instances of a given PRovisioning Class are applied to an interface
if and only if the set of roles in the role combination matches the
set of the roles of the interface.
Thus, roles provide a way to bind policy to interfaces without
having to explicitly identify interfaces in a consistent manner
across all network devices. That is, roles provide a level of
indirection to the application of a set of policies to specific
interfaces. This separates the policy definition from device
implementation specific interface identification. Furthermore, if
the same policy is being applied to several interfaces, that policy
need be pushed to the device only once, rather than once per
interface, as long as the interfaces are configured with the same
role combination.
We point out that, in the event that the administrator needs to have
unique policy for each interface, this can be achieved by
configuring each interface with a unique role.
The PEP sends all its Capability Set Names, Role Combinations,
Policy Controlled Interfaces, and their relationships to the PDP in
the first COPS request (REQ) message for a handle and whenever any
updates or deletes occur. The PDP can install new instances or
change existing instances of these PRIs. This operation can also
occur in subsequent request messages generated in response to COPS
state synchronization (SSQ) requests and local configuration
changes.
The comparing of roles (or role combinations) is case sensitive.
By convention, when formatting the role-combination for exchange
within a protocol message, within a PIB object's value, or as a
printed value, the set is formatted in lexicographical order of the
role's ASCII values; that is, the role that is first is formatted
first. For example, "a+b" and "b+a" are NOT different role-
combinations; rather, they are different formatting of the same
role-combination, and hence for this example:
- "a+b" is the valid formatting of that role-combination,
- "b+a" is an invalid formatting of that role-combination.
The role-combination of interfaces to which no roles have been
assigned is known as the "null" role-combination. (Note the
deliberate use of lower-case letters for "null" so that it avoids
confusion with the ASCII NULL character that has a value of zero but
a length of one.)
In an "install" or an "install-notify" class, the wildcard role-
combination "*" can be used. In addition to providing for interface-
specific roles, it also allows for other optimizations in reducing
the number of role-combinations for which a policy has to be
specified. For example:
[Page 3]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
Suppose we have three interfaces:
Roles A, B and R1 are assigned to interface I1
Roles A, B and R2 are assigned to interface I2
Roles A, B and R3 are assigned to interface I3
Then, a PRI of a fictional IfDscpAssignTable that has the following
values for its attributes:
ifDscpAssignPrid = 1
ifDscpAssignRoles = "*+A+B"
ifDscpAssignName = "4queues"
ifDscpAssignDscpMap = 1
will apply to all three interfaces, because "*" matches with R1, R2
and R3. The policies can be assigned to an interface due to more
than one wild-carded role combo matching a given interface's role
combo string. The PDP should attempt to resolve conflicts between
policies before sending policies to the PEP. In the situation where
the PDP sends multiple policies to a PEP and they do conflict,
either because of an error by the PDP or because of a device-
specific conflict, then the PEP MUST reject the installation of the
conflicting policies and return an error.
Formally,
- The wildcard Role is denoted by "*",
- The "*" Role is not allowed to be defined as part of the role-
combination of an interface as notified by the PEP to the PDP; it
is only allowed in policies installed/deleted via COPS-PR from
the PDP to the PEP.
- For a policy to apply to an interface when the policy's role-
combination is "*+a+b", then the interface's role-combination:
- Must include "a" and "b", and
- Can include zero or more other roles.
- The wildcard character "*" is listed before the other roles as
"*" is lexicographically before "a"; however, the wildcard matches
any zero or more roles, irrespective of lexicographical order.
For example: "*+b+e+g" would match "a+b+c+e+f+g"
Note that the characters "+" and "*" MUST not be used in an
interface Role. The Framework Role PIB module in section 4 of this
document contains the Role and RoleCombination Textual Conventions.
2.1.1. An Example
The functioning of roles might be best understood by an example.
Suppose I have a device with three interfaces, with roles as
follows:
IF1: "finance"
IF2: "finance"
IF3: "manager"
[Page 4]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
Suppose, I also have a PDP with two policies:
P1: Packets from finance department (role "finance") get DSCP 5
P2: Packets from managers (role "manager") get DSCP 6
To obtain policy, the PEP reports to the PDP that it has some
interfaces with role combination "finance" and some with role
combination "manager". In response, the PDP downloads policy P1
associated with role combination "finance" and downloads a second
policy P2 associated with role combination "manager".
Now suppose the finance person attached to IF2 is promoted to
manager and so the system administrator adds the role "manager" to
IF2. The PEP now reports to the PDP that it has three role
combinations: some interfaces with role combination "finance", some
with role combination "manager" and some with role combination
"finance+manager". In response, the PDP downloads an additional
third policy associated with the new role combination
"finance+manager".
How the PDP determines the policy for this new role combination is
entirely the responsibility of the PDP. It could do so
algorithmically or by rule. For example, there might be a rule that
specifies that manager policy takes preference over department
policy. Or there might be a third policy installed in the PDP as
follows:
P3: Packets from finance managers (role "finance" and role
"manager") get DSCP 7
The point here is that the PDP is required to determine what policy
applies to this new role combination and to download a third policy
to the PEP for the role combination "finance+manager" even if that
policy is the same as one already downloaded. The PEP is not
required (or allowed) to construct policy for new role combinations
from existing policy.
2.2. Management of Role-Combinations from the PDP
The PEP notifies the PDP of the Role-Combination assigned to each
interface and capability set name in a COPS configuration request
(instances of the frwkIfRoleComboTable). The first request sent to
the PDP must be a 'full state' request. A 'full state' request for a
PEP includes notify and install-notify table PRIs for the PEP which
must be interpreted as the complete state of the PEP and must not be
interpreted as updates to any previous set of PRIs sent in a
previous message. Any previous PRIs from the PEP should be discarded
when a 'full state' request is received for the particular request
handle. A request is specified as a 'full state' request by setting
the frwkPibIncarnationFullState attribute in the frwkPibIncarnation
PRI sent in the request.
All existing frwkIfRoleCombo instances must be sent to the PDP in
the first configuration request for a request handle. If the Role-
Combinations are not assigned specific values, default ('null')
[Page 5]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
Role-Combinations must be sent to the PDP for all ifIndices active
on the PEP and updates must be sent every time the IfIndices are
updated. The PEP may notify the PDP of the Capability sets (if any)
via the frwkCapabilitySetTable. If the PEP does not need to notify
the PDP of capability sets, it must set the capability set name in
the frwkIfRoleComboTable instances to a zero length string.
In response to this configuration request, if applicable, the PDP
may send policies for the PEP in a solicited decision or must send a
null decision. The PEP must then send a solicited report message for
the decision.
At any later time, the PDP can update the Role-Combinations assigned
to a specific interface, identified by IfIndex, or for an aggregate,
identified by the capability set name, via an unsolicited decision
to the PEP on any open request handle. The PDP does this by sending
updated PRIs for the frwkIfRoleComboTable.
When the Interface Role Combination associations are updated by the
PDP, the PEP SHOULD send updated 'full state' requests for all open
contexts. A context is an instantiation of the PIB module(s)
namespace identified by a unique COPS handle for a particular COPS
client type. This is true even if the PEP's request state changes
due to an internal event or if the state is changed by the PDP. If
the role-combination updates were sent by the PDP, the PEP SHOULD
send these updated requests only if it can process the unsolicited
decision containing the frwkIfRoleCombo PRIs successfully and it
MUST do so after sending the success report for the unsolicited
decision. If the PEP failed to process the decision (i.e., the
frwkIfRoleCombo PRIs) it MUST only send a failure report to the PDP.
On the other hand, the PDP must not expect to receive the updated
requests with the revised role-combination information until after
it receives a success report for these updates from the PEP. If the
PDP does not receive updated requests on some request handles, the
PEP must not be sent decision updates for that frwkIfRoleCombo
updates, i.e., the PDP must have the previous request state that it
maintained for that request handle.
Note that, any unsolicited decisions received by the PEP in the time
period after it receives updates to its Role-Combination
associations and before receiving solicited decisions for the
updated requests it sent for all context handles, must be ignored
since they would contain outdated decisions sent by the PDP for the
old request information.
The PDP must respond to the updated requests by solicited decisions,
sending policies if applicable or null decisions. The PEP must
respond to these solicited decisions with solicited reports to
complete the transaction.
2.3. Updating a Request State
[Page 6]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
This section describes the messages exchanged between the PEP and
PDP when the PEP is updating a previously sent request for a
particular COPS handle. Note that a PEP can incrementally update a
request only if the frwkPibIncarnationFullState attribute is shown
to be supported via the supported PRC table. If this attribute is
not supported the PDP must treat all PEP requests as the full
request state.
2.3.1 Full Request State
When the PEP wants to send the entire request state to the PDP (for
example, in response to a Synchronize State Request from the PDP),
the PEP MUST send the incarnation instance with the
frwkPibIncarnationFullState attribute set to 'true'.
A PDP that receives an incarnation instance in the request message
with this attribute set to 'true', must clear the request
information it maintains for this request handle and re-install the
information received.
If this attribute is set to 'false' or if the incarnation instance
is missing in the request message, the request must be interpreted
as an incremental update to the previous request message.
2.3.2 Installing PRIs in a Request
If the PEP wants to install additional PRIs for a request handle,
the PEP MUST ensure that frwkPibIncarnationFullState attribute is
set to 'false' and the PEP MUST use new (unused in this context)
InstanceIds [SPPI] for these PRIs.
When a PDP receives instances with new InstanceIds for a request
with the frwkPibIncarnationFullState in the incarnation instance set
to 'false' or if the request has no incarnation information, it must
interpret these PRIs as an incremental update to the request state
and add them to the request state it maintains for this handle.
2.3.3 Updating PRIs in a Request
If the PEP wants to update previously installed PRIs for a request
handle, the PEP MUST ensure that frwkPibIncarnationFullState
attribute is set to 'false' for these PRIs. Note that the PEP must
send the same InstanceIds for the PRIs being updated. If the PEP
uses new InstanceIds, the PDP must interpret them as Install's
for this request state.
When a PDP receives a request with instances having InstanceIds that
exist in its state for that handle with the
frwkPibIncarnationFullState in the incarnation instance set to
'false' or if the request has no incarnation information, it must
interpret these PRIs as an update to the PRIs in the request state
it maintains for this handle.
2.3.4 Removing PRIs from a Request
[Page 7]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
If the PEP wants to remove previously installed PRIs for a request
handle, the PEP MUST ensure that frwkPibIncarnationFullState
attribute is set to 'false' and MUST send the PRI bindings with the
PRID set to the InstanceId of the PRI to be removed and the length
field in the EPD object header set to the header length only,
effectively setting the data length to zero.
Note that the PEP must send the same InstanceIds for the PRIs being
removed. If the PEP sends new InstanceIds and the length field in
the EPD object header is set to the header length only (implying the
data length is zero), the PEP is attempting to remove an
unknown/non-existent PRI. This SHOULD result in the PDP sending
error PRIs in the solicited decision (see section 2.3.6 for a
description of the frwkErrorTable).
If the PEP sends new InstanceIds and the length field in the EPD
object header is greater than the header length only (implying the
EPD object has some attributes encoded in it), the PDP will
interpret this as an install of the PRI if it can decode the EPD
successfully.
When a PDP receives a request with instances having InstanceIds that
exist in its state for that handle with the
frwkPibIncarnationFullState in the incarnation instance set to
'false' or if the request has no incarnation information, and the
length field in the EPD object header is set to the header length
only (implying the data length is zero), it must remove these PRIs
from the request state it maintains for this handle.
2.3.5 Removing EXTENDED, AUGMENTED PRIs
The PEP should remove the extended/augmented PRIs when it removes
the base PRIs in the same COPS message. See [SPPI] for description
of EXTENDED/AUGMENTED PRCs. A PDP that receives removes for a base
PRI must implicitly remove the extensions.
2.3.6 Error Handling in Request updates
If the PDP cannot process all the request installs/updates/removes
in the COPS request message successfully, it MUST rollback to its
previous request state and it MUST send a solicited decision to the
PEP that contains frwkErrorTable instances. These instances contain
an error code and a sub-code as defined in the [COPS-PR] CPERR
object. For example if the PEP tries to remove an instance that does
not exist, the 'priInstanceInvalid' error code must be sent to the
PEP in a frwkError PRI. The frwkError PRIs also contain the PRC and
the InstanceId of the error-causing PRI. The PEP may then examine
these error PRIs and resend the modified request. Note that, until
the PEP resends the request updates/removes it will have
configuration information for the last successful request state it
sent to the PDP.
[Page 8]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
2.4. Multiple PIB Instances
[COPS-PR] supports multiple, disjoint, independent instances of the
PIB to represent multiple instances of configured policy. The
intent is to allow for the pre-provisioning of policy that can then
be made active by a single, short decision from the PDP.
A COPS context can be defined as an independent COPS request state
for a particular subject category (client-type). A context may be an
outsourcing context or a configuration context. A configuration
context is an instance of the PIB triggered and controlled by the
PDP, which contains device setup information. This device
configuration information dictates the device behavior as specified
by the PDP. An outsourcing context on the other hand is a PIB
instance that is triggered from the PEP side and is a request to the
PDP for action. The action requested will be interpreted in the
domain of the client-type. Configuration contexts belong to a set of
configuration contexts for a specific client type - out of which one
configuration context may be active. However, multiple outsourcing
contexts can be active simultaneously.
With the COPS-PR protocol, each of these states is identified by a
unique client handle. The creation and deletion of these PIB
instances can be controlled by the PDP as described in [COPS-PR] or
can be triggered by an event by the PEP. A PEP must open at least
one "request-state" for configuration for a given subject-category
(client type). Additional "request-states" at the PEP may be
initiated by the PDP or asynchronously generated by the PEP for
outsourcing due to local events, which will be fully specified by
the PRID/EPD data carried in the request.
The frwkPibIncarnationInCtxtSet flag defines a set of contexts out
of which only one context can be active at any given time. This set
is called the 'configuration contexts' set. At the most one context
may be active from this 'configuration context' set at any given
time. Contexts that have the frwkPibIncarnationInCtxtSet attribute
set to 'true' belong to this set. Contexts that do not belong to
this set have the frwkPibIncarnationInCtxtSet set to 'false' and
belong to the set of 'outsourcing contexts'. Note that a PEP can
have these two sets of contexts only if the
frwkPibIncarnationInCtxtSet attribute is shown to be supported via
the supported PRC table. If the frwkPibIncarnationInCtxtSet is not
supported a PEP must treat all contexts as belonging to the set of
'configuration contexts' i.e., at the most one context can be active
at any given time.
Note that in the event that a PEP has an capability change such as a
card hot swap or any other change in its notify information that may
warrant a policy refresh, a subsequent complete or incremental
request must be issued to the PDP containing the new/updated
capabilities for all the configuration contexts. A request for re-
configuration is issued for all request state configuration
contexts, both for the active configuration context as well as any
inactive configuration contexts. This is to ensure that when an
[Page 9]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
inactive configuration context is activated, it has been pre-
configured with policies compatible with the PEP's current
capabilities.
Although many PIB instances may be configured on a device (the
maximum number of these instances being determined by the device
itself) only one of the contexts from the 'configuration contexts'
set can be active at any given time, the active one being selected
by the PDP. The Framework PIB supports the attribute
frwkPibIncarnationActive in the frwkPibIncarnationTable to allow the
PDP to denote the PIB instance as being active in a COPS decision
message, and similarly, to report the active state (active or not)
of the PIB instance to the PDP in a COPS request message.
When the PEP installs an attribute frwkPibIncarnationActive that is
'true' in one PIB instance which belongs to the 'configuration
contexts' set, the PEP must ensure, re-setting the attribute if
necessary, that the frwkPibIncarnationActive attribute is 'false'
in all other installed contexts that belong to this set. To switch
contexts, the PDP should set the frwkPibIncarnationActive attribute
to 'true' in the context it wants to make the active context. The
PDP should set this attribute in a context to 'false' only if it
wants to send an inactive context to the PEP or deactivate the
active context on the PEP. If an active context is made inactive
without activating another context, the PEP must not have any
policies enforced from any configuration contexts installed.
2.5. Reporting and Configuring of Device Capabilities
Each network device providing policy-based services has its own
inherent capabilities. These capabilities can be hardware specific,
e.g., an Ethernet interface supporting input classification, or can
be statically configured, e.g., supported queuing disciplines.
These capabilities are organized into Capability Sets, with each
Capability Set given a unique name (frwkCapabilitySetName) and
associated with a set of Role Combinations. Each Role Combination
may in that way be associated with a set of interfaces. These
capabilities are communicated to the PDP when policy is requested by
the PEP. Knowing device capabilities, the PDP can send the PRIs
relevant to the specific device, rather than sending the entire PIB.
Specific capability PRCs may be defined in other PIBs. These
capability instances are grouped via the frwkCapabilitySetTable. If
the PEP wishes to send capability information to the PDP, the PIB
must indicate which capabilities the PEP may send to the PDP by
means of the 'notify' PIB-ACCESS clause as described in [SPPI]. If a
PIB does not have any capabilities to communicate to the PDP, it
must not send any instances for the frwkCapabilitySetTable. If in
this case the frwkIfRoleCombo table is used to communicate role
combinations assigned to interfaces (via IfIndex), the
frwkRoleComboCapSetName attribute in the frwkIfRoleComboTable
instances must be set to a zero length string.
2.6. Reporting of Device Limitations
[Page 10]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
To facilitate efficient policy installation, it is important to
understand a device's limitations in relation to the advertised
device capabilities. Limitations may be class-based, e.g., an
"install" class is supported as a "notify" or only a limited number
of class instances may be created, or attribute-based. Attribute
limitations, such as supporting a restricted set of enumerations or
requiring related attributes to have certain values, detail
implementation limitations at a fine level of granularity.
A PDP can avoid certain installation issues in a proactive fashion
by taking into account a device's limitations prior to policy
installation rather than in a reactive mode during installation. As
with device capabilities, device limitations are communicated to the
PDP when policy is requested.
Reported device limitations may be accompanied by guidance values
that can be used by a PDP to determine acceptable values for the
identified attributes.

The only valid character set is US-ASCII. Valid characters

RoleCombination ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An octet string containing concatenated Roles. For the
format specification of roles, refer to the 'Role' TEXTUAL-
CONVENTION. A valid Role Combination must be formed by a set
of valid Roles, concatenated by the US-ASCII character '+',
where tThe roles are in lexicographic order from minimum to
maximum. For example, 'a+b' and 'b+a' are NOT different
role-combinations; rather, they are different formatting of
the same (one) role-combination.
Notice the roles within a role-combination are in
Lexicographic order from minimum to maximum, hence, we
declare:
'a+b' is the valid formatting of the role-combination,
'b+a' is an invalid formatting of the role-combination.
Notice the need of zero-length role-combination as the role-
combination of interfaces to which no roles have been
assigned. This role-combination is also known as the 'null'
role-combination. (Note the deliberate use of lower case
letters to avoid confusion with the US-ASCII NULL character
which has a value of zero but length of one.)
The US-ASCII character '*' is used to specify a wild carded
Role Combination. '*' must not be used to wildcard Roles.
Hence, we declare:
'*+a+b' is a valid wild carded Role Combination.
'eth*+a+b' is not a valid wild carded Role Combination.
Note that since Roles are lexicographically listed in a Role
Combination, the following is an invalid role combination,
since '*' is lexicographically before 'a': 'a+b+*'."

DESCRIPTION
"A Unsigned32 value that identifies an attribute in a PRC by

A AttrIdentifier value is always interpreted within the
context of an attribute of type PrcIdentifierOid or
PrcIdentifierOidOrZero. The PrcIdentifierOid (or
PrcIdentifierOidOrZero) object which defines the context
must be registered immediately before the object which uses
the AttrIdentifier textual convention. If the context
defining attribute is of type PrcIdentifierOidOrZero and has
the value 0.0, then in that case this attribute value has no
meaning.
An attribute with this syntax MUST specify a sub-id which

4. Summary of the Framework PIB
The Framework PIB defines four groups of PRCs:
4.1. Base PIB classes Group
This contains PRCs intended to describe the PRCs supported
by the PEP, PRC and/or attribute limitations and its current
configuration.
PRC Support Table
As the technology evolves, we expect devices to be enhanced
with new PIBs, existing PIBs to add new PRCs and existing PRCs
to be augmented or extended with new attributes. Also, it is
likely that some existing PRCs or individual attributes of PRCs
will be deprecated. The PRC Support Table describes the PRCs
that the device supports as well as the individual attributes
of each PRC. Using this information the PDP can potentially
tailor the policy to more closely match the capabilities of the
device. The PRC Support Table instances are specific to the
particular Subject Category (Client-Type). That is, the PRC
Support Table for Subject Category 'A' will not include
instances for classes supported by the Subject Category 'B'.
Note that the COPS client-type [COPS] used for Framework PIB
PRIs sent/received over COPS-PR MUST be the unique SUBJECT-
CATEGORY number assigned for the area of policy being managed
(e.g. QoS, Security etc).
The PEP MUST ignore the attributes that it reports as not
Supported in the decision from the PDP. The PEP SHOULD not send
duplicate PRC support instances in a COPS Request and the PDP
MUST ignore duplicate instances and MUST use the first instance
received for a supported PRC in a COPS Request.
PIB Incarnation Table
This PRC contains exactly one row (corresponding to one PRI)
per context. It identifies the PDP that was the last to
download policy into the device and also contains an identifier
to identify the version of the policy currently downloaded.
This identifier, both its syntax and value, is meaningful only
to the PDPs. It is intended to be a mechanism whereby a PDP,
when accepting a connection from a PEP, can easily identify a
known incarnation of policy. This PRC defines a flag via which
the installed contexts are divided into a set of contexts
('configuration contexts') out of which only one context is
active and a the remaining contexts form a set of 'outsourcing
contexts' which are all active. The incarnation PRC also
defines an attribute to indicate which configuration context is
the active one at the present time in the 'configuration
contexts' set. The incarnation instance is specific to the
particular Subject Category (Client-Type).
Component Limitations Table
[Page 17]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
Some devices may not be able to implement the full range of
values for all attributes. In principle, each PRC supports a
set of errors that the PEP can report to the PDP in the event
that the specified policy is not implementable. It may be
preferable for the PDP to be informed of the device limitations
before actually attempting to install policy, and while the
error can indicate that a particular attribute value is
unacceptable to the PEP, this does not help the PDP ascertain
which values would be acceptable. To alleviate these
limitations, the PEP can report some limitations of attribute
values and/or classes and possibly guidance values for the
attribute in the Component Limitations Table
Device Identification Table
This PRC contains a single PRI that contains device-specific
information that is used to facilitate efficient policy
installation by a PDP. The instance of this PRC is reported
to the PDP in a COPS request message so that the PDP can take
into account certain device characteristics during policy
installation.
4.2. Device Capabilities group
This group contains the PRCs that describe the characteristics of
interfaces of the device and the Role Combinations assigned to
them.
Capabilities Set Table
The capabilities the PEP supports are described by rows in
this PRC (frwkCapabilitySetTable). Each row, or instance of
this class, associates a unique capability name with a set of
capabilities that an entity on the PEP may support. The unique
name is used to form a set of capabilities that the name
represents. The capability references can specify instances in
relevant capability tables in any PIB. The PEP notifies the PDP
of these capability sets and then the PDP configures
the interfaces, per role combination. The unique name
(frwkCapabilitySetName) is not to be confused with the IfType
object in the Interfaces Group MIB [RFC2863].
Interface and Role Combination Table
The Capabilities Set Table (explained above) describes the
entities on the PEP (for example, interfaces) by their
capabilities, by assigning the capability sets a unique name
(frwkCapabilitySetName). It is possible to tailor the behavior
of interfaces by assigning specific role-combinations to the
capability sets. This allows interfaces with the same
capability sets to be assigned different policies, based on the
current roles assigned to them. At the PDP, configuration is
done in terms of these interface capability set names and the
[Page 18]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
role-combinations assigned to them. Thus, each row of this
class is a <Interface Index, interface capability set name,
Role Combo> tuple, that indicates the roles that have been
assigned to a particular capability set (as identified by
frwkRoleComboCapSetName) and to a particular interface. Note
that the uniqueness criteria for this PRC has all the
attributes, thus a frwkRoleComboCapSetName may have
multiple role-combinations that it is associated with. Via the
IfIndex, this PRC answers the questions of 'which interfaces
have a specific role combination?' and 'what role combination a
specific interface is a part of?'.
4.3. Classifier group
This group contains the IP, IEEE 802 and Internal Label
Classifier elements. The set of tables consist of a Base Filter
table that contains the Index InstanceId and the Negation flag
for the filter. This frwkBaseFilterTable is extended to form the
IP Filter table, the 802 Filter table [802] and the Internal
Label table. Filters may also be defined outside this document
and used to extend the Base Filter table.
The Extended classes do not have a separate Index value.
Instances of the extended classes have the same indices as their
base class instance. Inheritance is achieved using the EXTENDS
keyword as defined in [SPPI].
4.4. Marker group
This group contains the 802 marker and internal label marker
PRCs. The 802 marker may be applied to mark 802 packets with the
required VLAN Id and/or priority value. The Internal Label marker
is applied to traffic in order to label it with a network device
specific label. Such a label is used to assist the
differentiation of an input flow after it has been aggregated
with other flows. The label is implementation specific and may
be used for other policy related functions like flow accounting
purposes and/or other data path treatments.

'BITS'.
For example, an implementation of the frwkIpFilter class may
be limited in several ways, such as address mask, protocol
and Layer 4 port options. These limitations could be
exported using this PRC with the following instances:
Component Type Sub-Type Guidance
------------------------------------------------------------
DstPrefixLength attrValueSupLimited valueOnly 24
SrcPrefixLength attrValueSupLimited valueOnly 24
Protocol attrValueSupLimited rangeMin 10
Protocol attrValueSupLimited rangeMax 20
The above entries describe a number of limitations that
may be in effect for the frwkIpFilter class on a given
device. The limitations include restrictions on acceptable
values for certain attributes.
Also, an implementation of a PRC may be limited in the ways
it can be accessed. For instance, for a fictitious PRC
dscpMapEntry, which has a PIB-ACCESS of 'install-notify':

DESCRIPTION
"A value used to convey additional information related
to the implementation limitation. Note that a guidance
value will not necessarily be provided for all exported
limitations. If a guidance value is not provided, the
value must be a zero-length string.
The format of the guidance value, if one is present as
indicated by the frwkCompLimitsSubType attribute,
is described by the following table. Note that the
format of guidance value is dictated by the base-type of
the component whose limitation is being exported,
interpreted in the context of the frwkCompLimitsType and
frwkCompLimitsSubType values. Any other restrictions
(such as size/range/enumerated value) on the guidance
value MUST be complied with according to the definition
of the component for which guidance is being specified.

and'ed with the 802 DA in received frames to derive the
value to be compared against the frwk802FilterDstAddr
address. A zero bit in the mask thus means that the
corresponding bit in the address always matches. The
frwk802FilterDstAddr value must also be masked using this
value prior to any comparisons.
The length of this object in octets must equal the length in
octets of the frwk802FilterDstAddr. Note that a mask with no
bits set (i.e., all zeroes) effectively wildcards the
frwk802FilterDstAddr object."

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object indicates whether the presence of an
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag in data link layer frames must
be considered when determining if a given frame
matches this 802 filter entry.
A value of 'taggedOnly(1)' means that only frames
containing a VLAN tag with a non-Null VID (i.e., a
VID in the range 1..4094) will be considered a match.
A value of 'priorityTaggedPlus(2)' means that only
frames containing a VLAN tag, regardless of the value
of the VID, will be considered a match.
A value of 'untaggedOnly(3)' indicates that only
untagged frames will match this filter component.
The presence of a VLAN tag is not taken into
consideration in terms of a match if the value is
'ignoreTag(4)'."
::= { frwk802FilterEntry 6 }
frwk802FilterEtherType OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32 (-1 | 0..'ffff'h)
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object specifies the value that will be compared
against the value contained in the EtherType field of an
IEEE 802 frame. Example settings would include 'IP'
(0x0800), 'ARP' (0x0806) and 'IPX' (0x8137).
Setting the frwk802FilterEtherTypeMin object to -1 indicates
that EtherType data should not be considered during traffic
classification.
Note that the position of the EtherType field depends on
the underlying frame format. For Ethernet-II encapsulation,
the EtherType field follows the 802 MAC source address. For
802.2 LLC/SNAP encapsulation, the EtherType value follows
the Organization Code field in the 802.2 SNAP header. The
[Page 51]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
value that is tested with regard to this filter component
therefore depends on the data link layer frame format being
used. If this 802 filter component is active when there is
no EtherType field in a frame (e.g., 802.2 LLC), a match is
implied."

DESCRIPTION
"The set of values, representing the potential range
of user priority values, against which the value contained
in the user priority field of a tagged 802.1 frame is
compared. A test for equality is performed when determining
if a match exists between the data in a data link layer
frame and the value of this 802 filter component. Multiple
values may be set at one time such that potentially several
different user priority values may match this 802 filter
component.
Setting all of the bits that are associated with this
object causes all user priority values to match this
attribute. This essentially makes any comparisons
with regard to user priority values unnecessary. Untagged
frames are treated as an implicit match."

6. Security Considerations
It is clear that this PIB is used for configuration using [COPS-PR],
and anything that can be configured can be misconfigured, with
potentially disastrous effect. At this writing, no security holes
have been identified beyond those that the COPS base protocol
security is itself intended to address. These relate primarily to
controlled access to sensitive information and the ability to
configure a device - or which might result from operator error,
which is beyond the scope of any security architecture.
There are a number of PRovisioning Classes defined in this PIB that
have a PIB-ACCESS clause of install and install-notify (read-
create). These are:
frwkPibIncarnationTable: Malicious access of this PRC can cause the
PEP to use an incorrect context of policies.
frwkReferenceTable: Malicious access of this PRC can cause the PEP
to interpret the installed policy in an incorrect manner.
frwkErrorTable: Malicious access of this PRC can cause the PEP to
incorrectly assume that the PDP could not process its messages.
FrwkCapabilitySetTable, frwkRoleComboTable and frwkIfRoleComboTable:
Malicious access of these PRCs can cause the PEP to apply policies
to the wrong interfaces.
FrwkBaseFilterTable, frwkIpFilterTable, frwk802FilterTable and
frwkILabelFilterTable: Malicious access of these PRCs can cause
unintended classification of traffic on the PEP potentially leading
to incorrect policies being applied.
frwk802MarkerTable, frwkILabelMarkerTable: Malicious access of these
PRCs can cause unintended marking of traffic on the PEP potentially
leading to incorrect policies being applied.
Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some
network environments. The support for "Install" or "Install-Notify"
decisions sent over [COPS-PR] in a non-secure environment without
proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
There are a number of PRovisioning Classes in this PIB that may
contain information that may be sensitive from a business
perspective, in that they may represent a customer's service
contract or the filters that the service provider chooses to apply
to a customer's ingress or egress traffic. There are no PRCs that
are sensitive in their own right, such as passwords or monetary
amounts. It may be important to control even "Notify"(read-only)
access to these PRCs and possibly to even encrypt the values of
these PRIs when sending them over the network via COPS-PR. The use
of IPSEC between the PDP and the PEP, as described in [COPS],
provides the necessary protection against security threats. However,
even if the network itself is secure, there is no control as to who
on the secure network is allowed to "Install/Notify"
(read/change/create/delete) the PRIs in this PIB.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the PEP/PDP
giving access to an instance of this PIB, is properly configured to
[Page 61]
Framework Policy Information Base June 7, 2002
give access to the PRIs only to those principals (users) that have
legitimate rights to indeed "Install" or "Notify" (change/create/
delete) them.
7. RFC Editor Considerations
This document normatively references [DS-MIB] which is in the IESG
last call stage. Please use the corresponding RFC number prior to
publishing of this document as a RFC.
8. IANA Considerations
This document describes the frameworkPib and frwkTcPib Policy
Information Base (PIB) modules for standardization under the "pib"
branch registered with IANA. An IANA assigned PIB number is
requested for both under the "pib" branch.
Both these PIBs use "all" in the SUBJECT-CATEGORIES clause, i.e.,
they apply to all COPS client types. No new COPS client type is to
be registered for these two PIB modules.
