Abstract
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module which
contains Textual Conventions to represent commonly used Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) management information. The intent is that
these TEXTUAL CONVENTIONS (TCs) will be imported and used in MPLS
related MIB modules that would otherwise define their own
representations.

This document defines a MIB module which contains Textual Conventions
for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. These Textual
Conventions should be imported by MIB modules which manage MPLS
networks.
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 <a href="./rfc2119">RFC 2119</a> [<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>].
For an introduction to the concepts of MPLS, see [<a href="./rfc3031" title=""Multiprotocol Label Switching Architecture"">RFC3031</a>].
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. The Internet-Standard Management Framework</span>
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to <a href="./rfc3410#section-7">section 7 of
RFC 3410</a> [<a href="./rfc3410" title=""Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet- Standard Management Framework"">RFC3410</a>].
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

DESCRIPTION
"A Label Switching Router (LSR) that
creates LDP sessions on ATM interfaces
uses the VCI or VPI/VCI field to hold the
LDP Label.
VCI values MUST NOT be in the 0-31 range.
The values 0 to 31 are reserved for other uses
by the ITU and ATM Forum. The value
of 32 can only be used for the Control VC,
although values greater than 32 could be
configured for the Control VC.
If a value from 0 to 31 is used for a VCI
the management entity controlling the LDP
subsystem should reject this with an
inconsistentValue error. Also, if
the value of 32 is used for a VC which is
NOT the Control VC, this should
result in an inconsistentValue error."

MplsLabel ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This value represents an MPLS label as defined in
[<a href="./rfc3031" title=""Multiprotocol Label Switching Architecture"">RFC3031</a>], [<a href="./rfc3032" title=""MPLS Label Stack Encoding"">RFC3032</a>], [<a href="./rfc3034" title=""Use of Label Switching on Frame Relay Networks Specification"">RFC3034</a>], [<a href="./rfc3035" title=""MPLS using LDP and ATM VC Switching"">RFC3035</a>] and
[<a href="./rfc3471" title=""Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Architecture"">RFC3471</a>].
The label contents are specific to the label being
represented, such as:
* The label carried in an MPLS shim header
(for LDP this is the Generic Label) is a 20-bit
number represented by 4 octets. Bits 0-19 contain
a label or a reserved label value. Bits 20-31
MUST be zero.
The following is quoted directly from [<a href="./rfc3032" title=""MPLS Label Stack Encoding"">RFC3032</a>].
There are several reserved label values:
i. A value of 0 represents the
'IPv4 Explicit NULL Label'. This label
value is only legal at the bottom of the
label stack. It indicates that the label
stack must be popped, and the forwarding
of the packet must then be based on the
<span class="grey">Nadeau & Cucchiara Standards Track [Page 5]</span></pre>
<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-6" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc3811">RFC 3811</a> MPLS TC MIB June 2004</span>
IPv4 header.
ii. A value of 1 represents the
'Router Alert Label'. This label value is
legal anywhere in the label stack except at
the bottom. When a received packet
contains this label value at the top of
the label stack, it is delivered to a
local software module for processing.
The actual forwarding of the packet
is determined by the label beneath it
in the stack. However, if the packet is
forwarded further, the Router Alert Label
should be pushed back onto the label stack
before forwarding. The use of this label
is analogous to the use of the
'Router Alert Option' in IP packets
[<a href="./rfc2113" title=""IP Router Alert Option"">RFC2113</a>]. Since this label
cannot occur at the bottom of the stack,
it is not associated with a
particular network layer protocol.
iii. A value of 2 represents the
'IPv6 Explicit NULL Label'. This label
value is only legal at the bottom of the
label stack. It indicates that the label
stack must be popped, and the forwarding
of the packet must then be based on the
IPv6 header.
iv. A value of 3 represents the
'Implicit NULL Label'.
This is a label that an LSR may assign and
distribute, but which never actually
appears in the encapsulation. When an
LSR would otherwise replace the label
at the top of the stack with a new label,
but the new label is 'Implicit NULL',
the LSR will pop the stack instead of
doing the replacement. Although
this value may never appear in the
encapsulation, it needs to be specified in
the Label Distribution Protocol, so a value
is reserved.
v. Values 4-15 are reserved.
* The frame relay label can be either 10-bits or

23-bits depending on the DLCI field size and the
upper 22-bits or upper 9-bits must be zero,
respectively.
* For an ATM label the lower 16-bits represents the
VCI, the next 12-bits represents the VPI and the
remaining bits MUST be zero.
* The Generalized-MPLS (GMPLS) label contains a
value greater than 2^24-1 and used in GMPLS
as defined in [<a href="./rfc3471" title=""Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Architecture"">RFC3471</a>]."

object can also be used to disambiguate LSPs that
share the same RSVP sessions between the same
source and destination.
For LSPs established using CR-LDP, the LSPID is
composed of the ingress LSR Router ID (or any of
its own IPv4 addresses) and a locally unique
CR-LSP ID to that LSR. The first two bytes carry

the Router ID. The LSPID is useful in network
management, in CR-LSP repair, and in using
an already established CR-LSP as a hop in
an ER-TLV.
For LSPs signaled using RSVP-TE, the LSP ID is
defined as a 16-bit (2 byte) identifier used
in the SENDER_TEMPLATE and the FILTER_SPEC
that can be changed to allow a sender to
share resources with itself. The length of this

DESCRIPTION
"Denotes a generic Tunnel hop address,
that is, the address of a node which
an LSP traverses, including the source
and destination nodes. An address may be
very concrete, for example, an IPv4 host
address (i.e., with prefix length 32);
if this IPv4 address is an interface
address, then that particular interface
must be traversed. An address may also
specify an 'abstract node', for example,
an IPv4 address with prefix length
less than 32, in which case, the LSP
can traverse any node whose address
falls in that range. An address may
also specify an Autonomous System (AS),
in which case the LSP can traverse any
node that falls within that AS.
A TeHopAddress value is always interpreted within
the context of an TeHopAddressType value. Every
usage of the TeHopAddress TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
is required to specify the TeHopAddressType object
which provides the context. It is suggested that
the TeHopAddressType object is logically registered
before the object(s) which use the TeHopAddress
TEXTUAL-CONVENTION if they appear in the
same logical row.
The value of a TeHopAddress object must always be

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>. Security Considerations</span>
This module does not define any management objects. Instead, it
defines a set of textual conventions which may be used by other MPLS
MIB modules to define management objects.
Meaningful security considerations can only be written in the MIB
modules that define management objects. Therefore, this document has
no impact on the security of the Internet.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-6" href="#section-6">6</a>. IANA Considerations</span>
IANA has made a MIB OID assignment under the transmission branch,
that is, assigned the mplsStdMIB under { transmission 166 }. This
sub-id is requested because 166 is the ifType for mpls(166) and is
available under transmission.
In the future, MPLS related standards track MIB modules should be
rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree. The IANA is requested to manage
that namespace. New assignments can only be made via a Standards
Action as specified in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>].
The IANA has also assigned { mplsStdMIB 1 } to the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB
specified in this document.
