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

1. Introduction
This document defines a MIB module which contains Textual Conventions
for Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks. These
Textual Conventions should be imported by MIB modules which manage
GMPLS networks.
This MIB module supplements the MIB module in [RFC3811] that defines
Textual Conventions for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Management. [RFC3811] may continue to be used without this MIB module
in networks that support only MPLS.
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119,
reference [RFC2119].
For an introduction to the concepts of GMPLS, see [RFC3945].
2. 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].

GmplsFreeformLabelTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This Textual Convention can be used as the syntax of an object
that contains any GMPLS label. Objects with this syntax can be
used to represent labels that have label types that are not
defined in any RFCs. The freeform GMPLS Label may also be used
by systems that do not wish to represent labels that have
label types defined in RFCs using type-specific syntaxes."
REFERENCE
"1. Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling
Functional Description, RFC 3471, section 3.2."
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..64))
GmplsLabelTypeTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Determines the interpretation that should be applied to an
object that encodes a label. The possible types are:
gmplsMplsLabel(1) - The label is an MPLS packet, cell,
or frame label and is encoded as
described for the Textual
Convention MplsLabel defined in
RFC 3811.
gmplsPortWavelengthLabel(2) - The label is a port or wavelength
label as defined in RFC 3471.
gmplsFreeformLabel(3) - The label is any form of label
encoded as an OCTET STRING using
the Textual Convention
GmplsFreeformLabel.
gmplsSonetLabel(4) - The label is a SONET label as
defined in RFC 3946.
gmplsSdhLabel(5) - The label is an SDH label as
defined in RFC 3946.
gmplsWavebandLabel(6) - The label is a waveband label as
defined in RFC 3471."

}
GmplsSegmentDirectionTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The direction of data flow on an LSP segment with respect to the
head of the LSP.
Where an LSP is signaled using a conventional signaling
protocol, the 'head' of the LSP is the source of the signaling
(also known as the ingress) and the 'tail' is the destination
(also known as the egress). For unidirectional LSPs, this
usually matches the direction of flow of data.
For manually configured unidirectional LSPs the direction of the
LSP segment matches the direction of flow of data. For manually
configured bidirectional LSPs, an arbitrary decision must be
made about which LER is the 'head'."
SYNTAX INTEGER {
forward(1), -- data flows from head-end of LSP toward tail-end
reverse(2) -- data flows from tail-end of LSP toward head-end
}
END
4. Security Considerations
This module does not define any management objects. Instead, it
defines a set of textual conventions which may be used by other GMPLS
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.

5. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to root MIB objects in this MIB module under the
mplsStdMIB subtree by assigning an OID to gmplsTCStdMIB.
Upon approval of this document, the IANA will make the following
assignments in the "NETWORK MANAGEMENT PARAMETERS" registry located
at http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers
In table ...mib-2.transmission.mplsStdMIB (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166)
Decimal Name References
------- ----- ----------
TBD GMPLS-TC-STD-MIB [RFC-ccamp-gmpls-tc-mib]
-- RFC Editor. Please replace YYY in the main text with the OID assigned
-- by IANA and remove this note.
In the future, GMPLS related standards track MIB modules should be
rooted under the mplsStdMIB (sic) subtree. IANA has been requested to
manage that namespace in the SMI Numbers registry [RFC3811]. New
assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in
[RFC2434].
