Abstract This document defines a set of PRovisioning Classes (PRCs) and textual conventions that are common to all clients that provision policy using Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for Provisioning. 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 (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 (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. Sahita, et. al.

Informational [Page 2] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 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 needs to 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 a unique policy for each interface, the administrator can configure 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. Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 3] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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: 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, the PEP MUST reject the installation of the conflicting policies and return an error. Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 4] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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", 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" 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". Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 5] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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') 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. Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 6] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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, could possibly contain outdated policies corresponding to the old Role-Combination associations as notified by this PEP in a previous request state. 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 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. Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 7] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 the 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 the 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. Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 8] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 2.3.4 Removing PRIs from a Request If the PEP wants to remove previously installed PRIs for a request handle, the PEP MUST ensure that the 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 a 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 Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 9] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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. 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 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 Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 10] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 a 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 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. In that way, each Role Combination may be associated with a set of interfaces. These capabilities are Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 11] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 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. 3.

Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, period, hyphen and underscore. A role must always start with a letter (a-z or A-Z). A role must not contain the US-ASCII characters '*' or '+' since they have special meaning associated with them, explained in the RoleCombination TEXTUAL CONVENTION." Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 13] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (1..31)) 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 the 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+*'."

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 Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 18] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 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]. Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 19] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 role-combinations assigned to them. Thus, each row of this class is a 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 Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 20] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 implementation specific and may be used for other policy related functions like flow accounting purposes and/or other data path treatments. 5.

Informational [Page 65] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 a 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 Sahita, et. al. Informational [Page 66] RFC 3318 Framework Policy Information Base March 2003 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 give access to only the PRIs and principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed "Install" or "Notify" (change/create/ delete) them. 7. IANA Considerations This document describes the frameworkPib and frwkTcPib Policy Information Base (PIB) modules for registration under the "pib" branch registered with IANA. The IANA has assigned PIB numbers 2 and 3, respectively. 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. 8. References 8.1 Normative References [COPS] Boyle, J., Cohen, R., Durham, D., Herzog, S., Rajan, R. and A.
