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.
An MTA is provisioned by the MSO for broadband Internet, data, and/or
voice service. For more information on MTA provisioning, refer to
Beacham, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 5098 PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB February 2008
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
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 Media
Access Control (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.
Beacham, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 5098 PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB February 2008
3.3. L Line Package
The L line package refers to the Media Gateway Control Protocol
(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-IETF-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.
Beacham, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5098 PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB February 2008
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 are made by utilizing
the ifTable (IF-MIB [RFC2863]), where each index (ifIndex) value
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 pktcIetfSigMib and is structured
into two major parts:
- Signaling information that controls 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 are
also allowed (pktcSigNotification).
4.2. pktcSigMibObjects
This is further divided into device-specific elements
(pktcSigDevObjects) and endpoint-specific elements
(pktcSigEndPntConfigObjects).
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 table selects the various signals used
in the application of the metering pulse signal to the twisted pair
line.
pktcSigDevToneTable - this table specifies a flexible structure
within which to specify all of the tones used in the MTA.
Beacham, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 5098 PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB February 2008
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable - this table defines the characteristics
of tones with multiple frequencies. Each entry in this table
represents the frequency reference of a multi-frequency tone.
The endpoint-specific elements are mostly confined to the Endpoint
configuration MIB table (pktcSigEndPntConfigTable). This table
describes the MTA endPoint configuration. The number of entries in
this table represents the number of provisioned endpoints.
4.3. pktcSigConformance
pktcSigDeviceGroup - 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.
pktcSigEndpointGroup - 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.

order.
The first three higher-order octets are reserved. The
octets that follow are used to encode a 'bit-string', with
each bit corresponding to 50 milliseconds. A bit value of
'1' indicates the presence of a ring-tone, and a bit value
of '0' indicates the absence of a ring-tone, for that
duration (50 ms) (Note: A minimum number of octets
required to encode the bit-string MUST be used).
The first two of the reserved octets MUST indicate the
length of the encoded cadence (in bits) and MUST range
between 1 and 264. (Note: The length in bits MUST also be
consistent with the number of octets that encode the
cadence). The MTA MUST ignore any unused bits in the last
octet, but MUST reflect the value as provided on
subsequent SNMP GETs.
The third of the reserved octets indicates 'repeatability'
and MUST be either 0x80 or 0x00 -- the former value
indicating 'non-repeatability', and the latter indicating
'repeatability'.
The MTA MUST reject attempts to set a value that violates
any of the above requirements."

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
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable. For each tone type defined
in pktcSigDevToneTable, the MTA MUST populate at least
one entry in the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable.
For each particular value of pktcSigDevToneType, the
pktcSigDevToneTable table can define non-repeating and
repeating groups of the frequencies defined by the
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable, such that each group is
represented by the set of the consecutive rows
(frequency group) in the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable.
Objects in this table do not persist across MTA reboots.
For tones with multiple frequencies refer to the MIB table
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable."

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
the 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 module
with 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
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.
Beacham, et al. Standards Track [Page 73]
RFC 5098 PacketCable/IPCablecom NCS Signaling MIB February 2008
The objects in the pktcSigEndPntConfigTable are used for endpoint
signaling. The pktcSigEndPntConfigCallAgentId 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
pktcSigEndPntConfigCallAgentUdpPort 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
the network via SNMP. The most sensitive is
pktcSigEndPntStatusCallIpAddress within pktcSigEndPntConfigTable.
This information itself may be valuable to would-be attackers. Other
MIB Objects of similar sensitivity include pktcSigEndPntStatusError,
which can provide useful information to MTA impersonators, and
pktcSigDevCodecMax, which can provide useful information for planning
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on MTAs.
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.
