Hi,
Benoit suggested that I post this email message here.

draft-liang-iana-pen is trying to formalize and document rules for the 
Private Enterprise Numbers registry 
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers>. In particular the 
purpose of this document is to document
a) what is allowed to be registered (what characters should be allowed 
in an Enterprise name, what is an Enterprise)
b) under what conditions an entry can be changed and what kind of 
documentation is required.

The document is being worked on by IANA (Pearl with some help from 
Michelle), I was asked to help out. While the document is mostly 
documenting existing practice, it is also trying to specify some rules 
about how the registry is to be operated, because certain (most?) things 
were never written down.

Pearl and I will appreciate reviews and feedback on the document. One of 
the major issues is currently outstanding is "what is considered to be 
an Enterprise?". While Universities and non profit organizations are 
considered Enterprises, it is not very clear whether different 
departments of a University, or subsidiaries of the same bank in 
different countries are considered to be different enterprises or not. A 
more difficult case is whether to allow different products from the same 
vendor to be allocated different PENs.
Yet another example is allocation of special PENs for RFCs (e.g. RFC 
5103.html, section  6.1). Is this Ok?
(All of these are examples of what people asked to register.) As 
currently there is no guidelines, there is no way for IANA to say "no".

Somewhat related to this: another position might be that there are 
enough PENs for everyone and that there is really no need to be 
restrictive in the case of this registry.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Alexey

Mmm.. In IANA considerations I see:


    o Removal of Private Enterprise Numbers:

    A Contact Name can request to remove the corresponding PEN allocation
    if the resource is no longer in used or the resource does not meet
    the needs.  (In a case when the Contact Name is no longer with the
    Company/Organization, the Modification procedure described above MUST
    be used first.)  Such request does not happen often and regularly.

    Requests can only be fulfilled upon verification by IANA and/or
    subject matter experts.

    If the removal request is honoured, the entry is marked as
    "Unassigned" and can be reallocated by IANA later unless specified
    otherwise, i.e. by marking the entry as "Reserved".

How can we be assured that the once assigned PEN is not being used
anywhere in the digital world? What is someone is still using it in
some obsoleted/no-longer-supported product? Should he/she run the
risk that it conflicts with a possible new assignment/allocation?

I would rather see that it will be marked "returned on yyyy-mm-dd
by xxxxxxx" and then that it not be re-used/allocated unless we
run out of numbers far in the future (at that time we can decide
if this makes sense, or possibly define another arc in
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise, for example:
   iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.2^32-1.PEN
where 2^32-1 is a special PEN that indicates that the PEN
is longer than 32bits.

I'm glad that it tries to cover the IANA side of merger / acquisition case.
However, the language about "new owner" glosses over the realities
of corporate takeovers.  I honestly don't know *who* the "new owner" would
be after some of the mergers I've experienced.  (I do know *what* the "new
owner" would be in most cases.)  I think more guidance might also be needed
on the handling of corporate splits and spin-offs, particularly ones splitting
what had previously been considered a single group or product line.
This may be more of a problem for the administrator of the number space
than for IANA, but it probably should be addressed somewhere, particularly
since it interracts with how some management systems classify devices
they discover.

Agreed.  Even if the assignee never used the arc, we have no way of knowing
whether someone else has built knowledge of that one-time assignment
into a product.

We should plan for reuse only when needed in the future.

Alexey,

First of all, I appreciate your draft, which wants to formalize the PEN 
allocation process.

Since you discuss PENs, that would great to have some more guidelines on 
how the PENs should and _should not_ be used. So this RFC5103 example 
should be discussed.

Regards, Benoit.

      documenting existing practice, it is also trying to specify some
      rules about how the registry is to be operated, because certain
      (most?) things were never written down.
      <br>
      <br>
      Pearl and I will appreciate reviews and feedback on the document.
      One of the major issues is currently outstanding is "what is
      considered to be an Enterprise?". While Universities and non
      profit organizations are considered Enterprises, it is not very
      clear whether different departments of a University, or
      subsidiaries of the same bank in different countries are
      considered to be different enterprises or not. A more difficult
      case is whether to allow different products from the same vendor
      to be allocated different PENs.
      <br>
      Yet another example is allocation of special PENs for RFCs (e.g.
      RFC 5103.html, section&nbsp; 6.1). Is this Ok?
      <br>
    </blockquote>
    Since you discuss PENs, that would great to have some more
    guidelines on how the PENs should and <u>should not</u> be used. So
    this RFC5103 example should be discussed.<br>
    <br>
    Regards, Benoit.<br>
    <blockquote cite="mid:4FA98384.8090805@isode.com" type="cite">(All
      of these are examples of what people asked to register.) As
      currently there is no guidelines, there is no way for IANA to say
      "no".
      <br>
      <br>
      Somewhat related to this: another position might be that there are
      enough PENs for everyone and that there is really no need to be
      restrictive in the case of this registry.
      <br>
      <br>
      Any feedback would be appreciated.
      <br>

This is related to draft-liang-iana-pen-00 and
draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions-05.txt now in WGLC. The latest
defines new Vendor-Id fields in a way consistent with RFC 2865, which
used three octets. However, in draft-liang-iana-pen-00 we say that a PEN
is a non-negative integer, which I think assumes (0..2**32-1) range.=20

Questions:=20

- is there any place where a limit is defined?=20
- should we advice new documents to cautiously define 32 bits (at least)
for Vendor-Id fields?=20
- should we say something on this respect in draft-liang-iana-pen?

What will happen to RFC 2865 implementations (and maybe other protocols)
that assumed Vendor-Id is limited to three octets - this will probably
need to be dealt by the RADEXT WG.=20

Dan,

Here is one reference point:

The SnmpEngineID TC as defined in RFC3411 reserves 4 octets for the PEN,
but then takes the high order bit for a different purpose.  This
essentially leaves 31 usable bits for a PEN within the SnmpEngineID.

Regards,

Mark

Well, with all due respect to SNMP, it is yet another protocol using
PENs, isn't it? J

Hi,

Since we're discussing PENs, I have another some more I would like to 
see addressed in draft-liang-iana-pen-00.
     - What about unassigned PENs? See the part in red in my DISCUSS on 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-access-network-option/ (on 
the telechat this Thursday)
     - PEN are not always representing manufacturer ID

-The term "vendor" is confusing

    Vendor ID

       The Vendor ID is the SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
       Code of the IANA-maintained Private Enterprise Numbers registry
       [SMI].

The example in figure 1 speaks about: "Operator-Id: provider2.example.com"
Vendor Id, in the network management world is the manufacturer id, while you're
after the Operator-Id
I see what you want to do, but this is confusing. Also, do
we expect that all operators will have Private Enterprise Number?

Maybe you want to redefine this with something such as (I trust you on the right
wording)

    Operator PEN ID

       SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
       Code of the IANA-maintained Private Enterprise Numbers registry
       [SMI] for the operator running ... [actually running what, that's another
       required clarification in the draft] ... the respective interface on mobile access gateway?

In section 3.1.3 (and some other places such as IANA), change "Vendor ID" by
"Operator PEN ID"

And also add a few sentences about
- whether all operators should or must now register new PENs for this spec.
   I checked for a couple of my local ISPs, and
not all of them had a PEN.
-if there is no PEN Operator ID, then ANI type= 3, Op-ID=2 MUST NOT/SHOULD NOT be used
     if "SHOULD NOT", what should be default?
Operator PEN ID=8653? (not even sure if this is the right thing to do) or 0?
You want to discuss with the authors of draft-liang-iana-pen-00, be in synch
with them.

Regards, Benoit.

assuming the Enterprise is a Vendor - this is rather something that some

      SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
      Code of the IANA-maintained Private Enterprise Numbers registry
      [SMI] for the operator running ... [actually running what, that's

      required clarification in the draft] ... the respective interface
on mobile access gateway?
=20
In section 3.1.3 (and some other places such as IANA), change "Vendor
ID" by
"Operator PEN ID"
=20
And also add a few sentences about
- whether all operators should or must now register new PENs for this
spec.
  I checked for a couple of my local ISPs, and
not all of them had a PEN.
- if there is no PEN Operator ID, then ANI type=3D 3, Op-ID=3D2 MUST
NOT/SHOULD NOT be used
    if "SHOULD NOT", what should be default?
Operator PEN ID=3D8653? (not even sure if this is the right thing to do)
or 0?
You want to discuss with the authors of draft-liang-iana-pen-00, be in
synch
with them.

Regards, Benoit.




This is related to draft-liang-iana-pen-00 and
draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions-05.txt now in WGLC. The latest
defines new Vendor-Id fields in a way consistent with RFC 2865, which
used three octets. However, in draft-liang-iana-pen-00 we say that a PEN
is a non-negative integer, which I think assumes (0..2**32-1) range.=20
=20
Questions:=20
=20
- is there any place where a limit is defined?=20
- should we advice new documents to cautiously define 32 bits (at least)
for Vendor-Id fields?=20
- should we say something on this respect in draft-liang-iana-pen?
=20
What will happen to RFC 2865 implementations (and maybe other protocols)
that assumed Vendor-Id is limited to three octets - this will probably
need to be dealt by the RADEXT WG.=20

I believe that OID definition explicitly don't have an upper boundary on int=
egers. I don't know if any IETF RFC specifies additional constraints.

I think that would be a good idea, yes.

I think so.

RFC 2578 (SMIv2) imposes additional constraints beyond those in ASN.1:

| 3.5.  OBJECT IDENTIFIER values
|
|    An OBJECT IDENTIFIER value is an ordered list of non-negative
|    numbers.  For the SMIv2, each number in the list is referred to as a
|    sub-identifier, there are at most 128 sub-identifiers in a value, and
|    each sub-identifier has a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295
|    decimal).

So this is an indirect answer. As PENs where originally designed to be
part of an OID, what results is that the upper limit is 2**32-1. Should
we say this explicitly in the future RFC?=20

Hi -

If those OIDs will ever need to be carried around by SNMP,
I think the answer is yes.  If they won't, then the question
remains open, I think.

Correct. By "PEN are not always representing manufacturer ID", I wanted 
to express that draft-liang-iana-pen could also cover a section on "PEN 
applicability". After all, the title says "Private Enterprise Number 
(PEN) _practices_ and registration procedures"

    Correct. By "PEN are not always representing manufacturer ID", I
    wanted to express that draft-liang-iana-pen could also cover a
    section on "PEN applicability". After all, the title says "Private
    Enterprise Number (PEN) <u>practices</u> and registration
    procedures"<br>

Hi,

The IANA application for an enterprise number
(http://pen.iana.org/pen/PenApplication.page) refers to the IANA PEN
registry.

At www.iana,org, private enterprise numbers (PENs) are defined as being
based on RFC2578.
RFC1155 (SMIv1) and RFC2578 (SMIv2) define enterprises as a particular
subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1) of the Internet subtree (1.3.6.1), approved by the
IAB back in 1990.

So if we're talking about IANA PENs, then it appears we are talking about
the {iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises} subtree.

We could start ANOTHER registry for PENs, but a large number of
enterprises have already registered under the IANA PEN registry; it seems
counter productive (especially for the IETF) to have multiple standard
registries for the same purpose, and to make enterprises register multiple
times.

A PEN is defined as being an OBJECT IDENTIFIER (a sub-oid if I read
RFC1157 correctly).
I think that means the number range is constrained by the adapted subset
of 1988 ASN.1 that defines an INTEGER sub-oid.
But I don't have time right now to research that limit.

Juergen, do you know this limit?

In ASN.1 the range for sub-oids isn't tied to the definition of the
INTEGER type.  In ASN.1 no upper bound is mandated for sub-ids, other
than in the first position and in the second position if the first is a 0 or 1,
due to the way BER mashes them together.

RFC 1157 also didn't specify limits for sub-identifiers.  Some early
SNMP implementers responded to this by writing their code to 
handle well-formed subidentifiers larger than 0xFFFFFFFF.
I ran into one very early SNMP implementation that had problems
handling subidenfiers greater than a measly 0xFFFF.

And because of this, sub-identifiers were restricted to 32 bits in
SMIv2. In other words, assuming PENs can be larger than 32 bits will
surely not work with SNMP. And as has been pointed out before, the
SnmpEngineID format kind of restricts this further to 31 bits. I think
documenting that the number space is de facto limited to 32 bits is a
good idea. Are we anywhere close to this limit? If not, I suggest to
postpone the discussion what to do if we run out of numbers.

Hi,


<dan>
Does this change anything in draft-liang-iana-pen? I do not see the I-D
assuming the Enterprise is a Vendor =AD this is rather something that some
protocol documents using PENs did.
<dan>

I think the usage of PENs to represent equipment vendors was described in
RFC1065 as one possible usage, not the only usage.
[Note that a PEN is an SMI Private Enterprise Code (RFC1065) used in the
MIB (RFC1066). It is not defined as part of SNMP (RFC1067).
SNMP (RFC1067) references MIB objects that incorporate the PEN
(sysObjectID).
It would help to keep that distinction between the SMI, the MIB, and
protocols.]


>From RCC1065:
"The private(4) subtree is used to identify objects defined
unilaterally. Administration of the private(4) subtree is delegated
by the IAB to the Assigned Numbers authority for the Internet.
Initially, this subtree has at least one child:

enterprises OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=3D { private 1 }

The enterprises(1) subtree is used, among other things, to permit
parties providing networking subsystems to register models of their
products.

Upon receiving a subtree, the enterprise may, for example, define new
MIB objects in this subtree. In addition, it is strongly recommended
that the enterprise will also register its networking subsystems
under this subtree, in order to provide an unambiguous identification
mechanism for use in management protocols. For example, if the
"Flintstones, Inc." enterprise produced networking subsystems, then
they could request a node under the enterprises subtree from the
Assigned Numbers authority. Such a node might be numbered:

1.3.6.1.4.1.42

The "Flintstones, Inc." enterprise might then register their "Fred
Router" under the name of:

1.3.6.1.4.1.42.1.1
"



<background archeology>

RFC1065 specifies how the Internet subtree of the {iso org dod} subtree
should be organized:
"Under the iso(1) node, the ISO has designated one subtree for use by
   other (inter)national organizations, org(3).  Of the children nodes
   present, two have been assigned to the U.S. National Bureau of
   Standards.  One of these subtrees has been transferred by the NBS to
   the U.S. Department of Defense, dod(6).

   As of this writing, the DoD has not indicated how it will manage its
   subtree of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs.  This memo assumes that DoD will
   allocate a node to the Internet community, to be administered by the
   Internet Activities Board (IAB) as follows:

      internet    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=3D { iso org(3) dod(6) 1 }

   That is, the Internet subtree of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs starts with the
   prefix:

      1.3.6.1.

   This memo, as an RFC approved by the IAB, now specifies the policy
   under which this subtree of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs is administered.
   Initially, four nodes are present:

      directory     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=3D { internet 1 }
      mgmt          OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=3D { internet 2 }
      experimental   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=3D { internet 3 }
      private       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=3D { internet 4 }

"

RFC1065 provides the earliest definition of "private enterprise number" I
have found so far.
It was represented in ASN.1 for use across multiple standards
organizations, as described in RFC1052 and RFC1021
>From 1052:
"It is the intention of the IAB that the MIB definitions be applied   both
to the SNMP system in the short term and CMIS/CMIP for TCP/IP in
   the longer term.  The three working groups will have to coordinate
   their efforts carefully to achieve these objectives:

           1. Rapid convergence and definition for SNMP.

           2. Rapid convergence and definition for the TCP/IP MIB.

           3. Provision for transitioning from SNMP to CMIP/CMIS.

           4. Early demonstration of the CMIP/CMIS capability using the
              TCP/IP MIB."


So {private enterprises} (1.3.6.1.4.1) was developed as part of the SMI to
be usable by multiple protocols, not just SNMP.

Notes:
1) sysObjectID includes SMI PENs, and many SNMP network monitoring systems
use sysObjectID to identify devices, as suggested by RFC1065.
Auto-discovery is especially reliant on these values.
2) syslog (RFC5424) uses the SMI PEN registry.
3) ipfix (RFC5101) uses the SMI PEN registry.
4) sipclf IDs use the SMI PEN registry.
5) middisc ID does not use the SMI PEN registry because it is too large
for its intended use, and requests a smaller (8-bit) vendor code registry.

I am not sure how these uses would be impacted by a PEN larger than 32
bits.

It looks that we are far away from the 2**32-1 or 2**31-1 limit.=20

My opinion is that we can postpone the discussion about how to extend
the space beyond 31 or 32 bits for the moment in time when we get
closer.=20

In the meantime I would suggest that we document in draft-liang:=20

1. The assumed limit and its reasons
2. The fact that although one of the popular uses is SMI, the PENs are

My preference would be to suggest that future protocols allocate at
least 32 bits. The SnmpEngineID use case is kind of wired and should
be mentioned in the document but perhaps a solution is simply to
update the SnmpEngineID TC so that 32 bit enterprise IDs can be used
should we ever get close to 2^31 bits. This gives us 2^31 more PENs
should we need them.

Yes. And worse. This discussion started from the fact that RADIUS (RFC
2865) assumes 24 bits, and draft-radext-radius-extensions  prepared to
do the same. Actually Vendor-ID field in the Vendor-Specific attribute
in RFC 2865 is defined like this:=20

>     The high-order octet is 0 and the low-order 3 octets are the SMI
      Network Management Private Enterprise Code of the Vendor in
      network byte order.=20

So I there may be a way in the protocol to extend from 24 to 32 bits,
but implementations need to change. Beyond 32 bits the problem is the
same as with the other protocols listed below, but that moment in time
seems very remote.=20

Dan

Yes, good points.

I've changed this in my copy of -01.

  I'm aware of a number of widely-used RADIUS implementations which have
a 16-bit limit on PECs.  These implementations won't be able to handle a
larger PEC.  They require substantial re-engineering of their internals.

  The current maximum PEN is ~40K.  At the current rate, we have a few
years left before 2^16 is reached.  We should recommend that
implementations be fixed before then.

  My $0.02 is that we should require protocols to support 32-bit PENs.
That should be enough for quite a while.

  Alan DeKok.
