Abstract
This document describes the objects necessary to include information
about IP networks and IP numbers in the X.500 Directory. It extends the
work "Charting networks in the Directory" [ND] where a general framework
is presented for representing networks in the Diretory by applying it
to work of IP network assigning authorities, NICs, as well as other
applications looking for a mapping of IP numbers to data of related
networks. Furthermore, Autonomous Systems and related routing policy
information can be represented in the Directory along with their
relationship to networks and organizations.

1. Introduction
Information related to the Internet Network Infrastructure is created
and stored by a number of different organizations, such as the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), Internet Registry (IR), Network
Information Centers (NICs), and the NSFNET Network Operations Center
(NOC). This information is generally "mastered" (stored and maintained)
by these organizations on a centralized basis, i.e. there is a single
place to look for a definitive list of entries for these categories.
This has worked well in the past but given the tremendous growth of the
Internet and its number of users and networks, it is essential that a
distributed schema be used.
The X.500 Directory offers the appropriate technology for implementing
this distributed method of managing network infrastructure information.
The following goals are addressed in this document:
o Provision of IP specific images of network elements
o Mapping from Network Number to network, owner, provider etc.
o Support of delegation of IP address blocks
o Storage of high-level routing policies and AS information
o Support of "classless" network address formats
o Provision of several organizational images of a network
It may be noted that the document basically consists of two parts. In
the first part, an IP specific extension of the general framework
"Charting networks in the Directory" [ND] is given. Objects defined by
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 2]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
the application of this framework are related to IP numbers. An IP
namespace is defined in the second part of this paper, referring to IP
network elements defined at the beginning.
2. IP images of networks
As defined in [ND], networks are modelled as a set of subnetworks and
nodes, called network elements in the remainder. To obtain a particular
view of a network element, images were introduced. Below, images of
network elements for an IP specific view are defined. Please note that
images contain references to underlying physical information about
elements.
In the remainder, ipStringSyntax is used as attribute type for all
attributes that are to hold an IP number. Currently, there are two
definitions for a syntax like this:
o IpAddress as of RFC1155
o ip as of RFC1278
It is suggested to use CaseIgnoreStringSyntax for implementations for
the time being with the convention to use the ordinary IP syntax.
Nevertheless, an OID has been reserved for ipStringSyntax (see
Appendix).
2.1 IP network image
IP network image is one application of network images and therefore
inherits the networkImageClass. This class is given below for reference
only, its definition can be found in [ND].
networkImage OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of ImageCommunicationObject
MAY CONTAIN
externalGateway :: distinguishedNameSyntax,
/* points to one or more nodes that act
as gateway for the protocol application
this image refers to */
An IP network combines all network elements that have a common IP
network number. Presently, IP network numbers fall into one of the
classes A, B, or C. However, sub- and supernetworking is already done
broadly, and classless networks numbers are expected to be assigned
soon. [RFC1466] proposes to assign bitwise contiguous blocks of class-
C-addresses to all networks with more than 255 nodes. The definition of
IP network, therefore, is always related to common network number and
network mask.
IP networks have a very close relationship to the Domain Name System.
Several attributes are introduced to take care of these relations.
Though we do not intend to abolish the existing DNS service, the schema
defined here is able to provide the mapping IP number to domain name and
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 3]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
vice versa.
An IP network image object as defined below is intended to provide
technical and administrative data for one IP network. Attributes hold
information that a NIC-WHOIS server would reveal for the network, and
more.
ipNetworkImage OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of NetworkImage
MUST CONTAIN
ipNetworkImageName :: CaseIgnoreString,
/* common name */
ipNwNumber :: IPStringSyntax,
/* the IP network number for
this (sub)network */
ipNwMask :: IPStringSyntax
/* mask that applies to ipNwNumber
in order to define classless
network number; also used for routing */
MAY CONTAIN
/* DNS related info ; e.g. - */
associatedDomain :: CaseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* the domain name associated to this IP network;
As there is not always a 1:1 mapping between traditional
IP numbers and domain names, the name given here
should contain the "closest match".
1) (sub)network does not have a domain name
of its own, but is part of a bigger domain:
take name of that domain
2) network is divided into several domains,
therefore having more than one domain name:
list all of them.
Note: a reverse mapping of domain names to
networks/nodes can be achieved by a modified
implementation of RFC1279 */
inAddrServer :: DistinguishedNameSyntax,
/* refers to the ipNodeImageObject of the
inaddr Server that holds information about
this network */
/* routing policy; e.g. - */
asNumber :: integerStringSyntax,
/* number of Autonomous System this network belongs to */
acceptedUsagePolicy :: caseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* semantics to be defined */
/* Any other - */
provider :: DistinguishedNameSyntax,
/* points to network provider */
onlineDate :: uTCTimeSyntax
/* date when network got connected to the Internet */
2.2 IP node image
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 4]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
If a node in the network is running the IP protocol, an
ipNodeImageObject should be created for this node. This image is a
subclass of nodeImageClass and holds IP specific information. The
nodeImageClass is given below for reference only, its definition can be
found in [ND].
nodeImage OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of ImageCommunicationObject
/* no attributes common for all nodeImages have been
defined yet */
An ipNodeImage is used to obtain technical and administrative
information on a host. The object is defined as follows:
ipNodeImage OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of NodeImage
MUST CONTAIN
ipNodeName :: CaseIgnoreString
/* common name, it is advised to use
the hostname for this purpose */
MAY CONTAIN
protocol :: CaseIgnoreString,
/* name and version of IP protocol running */
domainName :: CaseIgnoreString,
/* the complete domain name of this node;
CNAMEs can be stored additionally to the
DNS A record name;
further relationships, like MX record entries,
should be taken care of by the domain name tree
according to RFC 1279 */
2.3 IP network interface image
The most important IP related information of a node (its IP addresses)
is registered with ipNetworkInterfaceImageObjects. This picture is
accurate as a node can have several IP addresses, but at most one per
interface. Furthermore, it shows clearly the relationship between
interface and neighboring IP network.
IpNetworkInterfaceImage is a subclass of networkInterfaceImageClass. The
networkInterfaceImageClass is given below for reference only, its
definition can be found in [ND]. Note that for ipNetworkInterfaceImage
all references are drawn in the context of IP, i.e.
networkInterfaceAddress becomes an IP address and connectedNetwork
points to an ipNetworkImageObject.
networkInterfaceImage OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of ImageCommunicationObject
MAY CONTAIN
networkInterfaceAddress :: caseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* this interfaces address in the context the
image referes to, e.g. IP number, NSAP */
connectedNetwork :: distinguishedNameSyntax
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 5]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
/* pointer to networkImageObject that describes
the network this interface is attached to in terms
of the protocol or application the images
indicates */
Additionally, ipNetworkInterfaceImageObject has the following
properties:
ipNetworkInterfaceImage OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of NetworkInterfaceImage
MUST CONTAIN
ipNetworkInterfaceName :: CaseIgnoreStringSyntax
/* It is suggested that the interface name
is derived from the name of the logical
device this interface represents for the
operating system, e.g. le0, COM1 */
MAY CONTAIN
ipNwMask :: IPStringSyntax
/* mask that applies to networkInterfaceAddress for
routing of packets to nodes on the connected
(broadcast) network;
Note: This is only a fraction
of the routing table information
for this interface, namely for one hop. */
2.4 Autonomous Systems
Autonomous Systems (AS) are defined in asObject which is a subclass of
imageCommunicationObject. It provides technical and administrative
information of an AS. Furthermore, routing policies can be stored with
the AS object. The definition of the AS object is aligned with the
corresponding database object defined in [RIPE-81].
as OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of ImageCommunicationObject
MUST CONTAIN
asNumber :: IntegerStringSyntax
MAY CONTAIN
asName :: CaseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* if there is a name different from AS XXXXX */
asIn :: CaseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* accepted routes from other AS */
/* for syntax and semantics refer [RIPE-81] */
asOut :: CaseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* generated routes announced to others */
/* for syntax and semantics refer [RIPE-81] */
asDefault ::CaseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* how default routing is handled */
/* for syntax and semantics refer [RIPE-81] */
asGuardian :: DistinguishedNameSyntax, */
/* DN of guardian of this AS */
lastModifiedDate :: UTCtimeSyntax */
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 6]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
/* important as routes change frequently */
Note that routing policies for an Autonomous System are represented by
the {asIn, asOut} attributes of asObject. Due to performance constraints
of present X.500 technology, it will probably not be used directly by
routers for dynamic routing. However, it certainly can be used in
network management systems to determine the allowed paths [i.e. in
accordance with published policies] between two networks. This will be
useful in finding alternate paths, and evaluating the connectivity of
networks.

3. Number assignment information
In the following, Directory objects have been defined to represent IP
and AS (Autonomous System) namespace in the Directory. Their purpose is
to provide
o mapping from IP number to IP network element (network or node)
o mapping from IP number to AS number and vice versa
o assignment and delegation information
The need for a global, distributed database supporting the objectives
arises mainly from distributed IP- and AS-number assignment.
Describing all IP numbers with one of the new objects delegatedBlock,
ipGroup and ipReference leads to the desired information. AS number
information is stored with the objects asBlock and asReference.
Furthermore, all assigned numbers have some properties in common.
Therefore, an objectclass assignedNumberClass is introduced. This class
exports attributes to delegatedBlock, ipGroup, ipReference, asBlock, and
asReference.
AssignedNumberClass is defined as follows (``number'' always refers to
IP number of delegatedBlock, network, host, and AS number, resp.):
assignedNumberClass OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of top
MAY CONTAIN
assBy :: DistinguishedNameSyntax,
/* refers to an organization or organizationalRole
that assigned the number to assTo (see below) */
assTo :: DistinguishedNameSyntax,
/* refers to organization or organizationalRole
that the number was assigned to. This does not
imply that assTo "owns" this number now. */
assDate :: uTCTimeSyntax,
/* date of assignment for this number */
nicHandle :: CaseIgnoreStringSyntax,
/* gives the unique ID for a description
related to this number.
format: "handle : nic-domain-name"
example: MAK21 : rs.internic.net */
relNwElement :: DistinguishedNameSyntax,
/* the network element related to this number
(network or node) */
3.1 Delegated Block object
This object provides information on a block of IP addresses delegated to
some local-authority or service provider. Only contiguous blocks can be
represented with the following schema. If an organization (say, a NIC)
has been assigned several IP network numbers which do not form a
contiguous block, it might want to use a different form of representing
that fact (e.g. using imageNetworks). The delegatedBlock object holds
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 8]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
lower and upper bounds of the block.
Note that the above does not make any assumption about the network masks
being constrained by byte boundaries. We can thus represent subnetting
within a "network (number)" that often happens within an organization in
the same framework.
This schema does lead to some granularity in the otherwise flat IP-
number space. Further, the granularity is significant as it may be used
to identify the administrator of the block - a service provider or a
domain manager. E.g. it fits well into the schema of aggregating
networks for routing purposes as has been proposed in [RFC1338].
The object delegatedBlock is of the form:
delegatedBlock OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of AssignedNumberClass
MUST CONTAIN
delegatedBlockName :: caseIgnoreStringSyntax,
lowerBound :: IPStringSyntax,
/* smallest IP address belonging to the
block, e.g. 195.100.0.0 */
upperBound :: IPStringSyntax
/* highest IP address belonging to the
block, e.g. 195.103.255.255 */
The attribute relNwElement (inherited from AssignedNumberClass) can
point to a networkImage covering all networks within the block if this
makes sense.
3.2 IP Group object
This object provides information for an IP network number. Its purpose
is basically only to
o show that the number has been assigned, and
o provide a reference to the descriptive ipNetworkObject for
this network.
Regardless of the actual value of x, IP group objects may exist for IP
numbers x.0.0.0, x.y.0.0 and x.y.z.0. This approach includes "classical"
class-A, -B and -C network addresses as well as any kind of super- and
subnetworking.
The IP group object is a subclass of assignedNumberClass. The attribute
relNwElement points to an ipNetworkImage as defined above.
ipGroup OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of AssignedNumberClass
MUST CONTAIN
ipGroupName :: IPStringSyntax,
/* IP number; x.0.0.0 or x.y.0.0 or x.y.z.0
where x, y, z in 1..255 */
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 9]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
ipNwMask :: IPStringSyntax
/* mask that applies to all numbers
within the group; used to define
classless networking; */
3.3 IP Reference object
There is one IP reference object for each IP host address. The purpose
of this object is to
o tell that this IP number is already assigned to a node
o give a pointer to the related ipNodeImageObject
The IP reference object is a subclass of assignedNumberClass. The
attribute relNwElement points to an ipNodeImage.
ipReference OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of AssignedNumberClass
MUST CONTAIN
ipReferenceName :: IPString
/* value is always IP address */
3.4 AS block object
The AS block object is used to show delegation of blocks of AS numbers
to regional registries. This is similar to delegatedBlock of ipNetwork
numbers.
asBlock OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of AssignedNumberClass
MUST CONTAIN
asBlockName :: caseIgnoreStringSyntax,
asLowerBound :: integerStringSyntax,
asUpperBound :: integerStringSyntax
An AS block will comprise several consecutive AS numbers. Objects to
describe these numbers may be stored in asObjects.
3.5 AS reference object
An AS reference object is used to show that an Autonomous System number
has been assigned (and thus can not be given to somebody else). Similar
to ipGroup, asReference does not contain technical details about an
autonomous system itself but rather points (with relNwElement) to a
descriptive asObject.
asReference OBJECT CLASS
SUBCLASS of AssignedNumberClass
MUST CONTAIN
asNumber :: integerStringSyntax

Figure 1: Overall relationship of objects.
4.1 IP image objects
According to [ND], IP image entries will be stored underneath the
organization / organizationalUnit entry of the entity responsible for
that network. The case that such an entry does not yet exist in the
white-pages pilot is discussed in 4.4 below.
4.2 AS objects
The technical and administrative description of an AS is basically
maintained by NICs, network providers, or other special organizations.
It is suggested that these organizations build a subtree for information
on AS which they are responsible for.
4.3 Namespace objects
The new IP namespace objects build a single tree in the Directory. It is
suggested that this tree will have a root of type organizationalUnit
within @o=Internet@ou=Network Information.
objectClass= organizationalUnit
organizationalUnitName= IP networks
description= root of IP number tree
The tree is built under an administrative and an implementational view.
Nowadays, network numbers usually are assigned to organizations by
(national) Network Information Centers (NIC) which themselves have got a
block of IP network numbers assigned from another authority (e.g. IR at
top level). This concept of delegated blocks falling apart in smaller
delegated blocks and IP network numbers is used to model the Directory
tree. Thus, an ipGroup object is always subordinate of a delegated block
object (namely the delegated block including this IP number). Network
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 11]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
numbers that were directly assigned by a top-level authority, i.e. have
not been object of a delegation to a local assigning authority, will all
be at one level in the Directory. Already today, however, we find many
delegations within the traditional class A-, B- and C-addresses. Such a
delegation is represented by a delegated block object, having the
assigned IP network numbers as subordinates. Also, part of the block can
be further delegated to another authority, leading to another delegated
block object within the parent delegated block's tree. Usually,
subordinates of ipGroup objects are ipReferences, i.e. single IP
addresses as assigned to nodes. To support subnetworking, it is also
allowed to divide ipGroups into several subnetwork ipGroups, each
representing an IP subnetwork. In such cases, subnetwork numbers are
given as subordinates to the assigned IP network number. Network masks
clarify what the subnetwork addresses are.

Figure 2: Example population of IP namespace tree according
to delegation and subnetworking.
For some applications, the separation of ipImage (description of the
network) and ipGroup (description of the namespace element) will bear
disadvantages in the look-up procedure. In that case one might think of
combining both object classes with the aim to provide one object
describing administrative and technical data for an IP network.
As Autonomous Systems are an additional namespace to the existing IP
number space, they should go into a separate subtree. It is suggested
that this is an organizationalUnit within @o=Internet@ou=Network
Information.
objectClass= organizationalUnit
organizationalUnitName= AS numbers
description= root of Autonomous System number space
Similar to blocks of IP network numbers, blocks of AS numbers are
sometimes delegated to another registry. This is expressed by asBlock
objects. These objects come below the root of the AS number space. All
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 12]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
AS numbers falling into such a block are stored as subordinates of the
block. An AS block may have smaller AS blocks underneath if delegation
is extended.
4.4 Relationship to organizational entries
Organizational information (i.e. white-pages-like information about an
organization, its departments and employees) occurs at several places in
the network DIT - [org of IP-Number, org of AS-Number, org of Admin-
contact, However, it will be basically mastered [administered,
maintained] by the organization itself in the Directory Management
Domain (DMD) over which the organization has the authority. This gives
rise to some tricky problems - a typical example is that of a NIC which
holds the AS, DNS, IP, ... subtrees of the DIT.
A good strategy would avoid explicit duplication of information. By
explicit duplication of information we understand information being
duplicated outside the directory framework, e.g. by having several
master entries for one and the same piece of information. The only way
to avoid duplication would be to have relevant entries point to the
pertinent organizational entry for organizational information. But since
o most organizations do not, as yet, have an entry in the DIT and
o the reliability of the access to an organizations DIT when
stored in a remote DSA cannot be taken for granted,
the following framework is adopted to accomodate the conflicting
requirements /conditions.
o A copy of all the necessary organization-info is retained
at the NICs DSA. Since only the necessary info will be kept
the NIC will not be burdened to act as the repository of the
organizations DIT. These objects may be kept in a separate
subtree of affiliated-organizations [organizations
affiliated to the NIC]. Though the affiliated organizations node
does not really represent a locality, it is suggested to define
the node as objectClass locality. This does not break the
Directory schema when entries of organizations shall become
subordinate to the NICs organization's entry.
o The problem of information duplication/consistency will arise when
organizational DITs/DSAs do come into existence. At that stage a
shadowing mechanism which will attempt to maintain the data
consistency may be resorted to. The X.500/ISO 9594(1993)
implementations are expected to provide appropriate shadowing
mechanisms along X.525.
It may be noted that what is suggested is not a duplication of an entire
white-pages-like structure at the NIC. It suggests an "affiliated
organizations node". The entries under this node will be organization
objects with a limited number of attributes, i.e. the attributes to
hold the organization info necessary for the NIC: nothing more,
nothing less. Operationally, and content wise the NIC DSA will hold
exactly the amount of info that is desired by the NIC. When an
organization sets up its DSA and when the organization informs the NIC
about it, the NIC will set up the shadowing arrangement to obtain
Expires: March 1, 1994 [Page 13]
Internet Draft OSI-DS 38 September 1993
info on changes of interest [and forget about it].
It may be emphasized that the entries under affiliated
organizations are physical entities [replicated and refined from the
Master entries, if and when they exist...] rather than alias entries. If
a NIC dislikes the idea of users poring over the entries in the
affiliated organizations - appropriate access control can be
applied. Though duplication is unavoidable, the proposal attempts to
make it transparent, by delegating the responsibility of maintaining the
integrity to the Directory.
This issue is discussed in greater detail in a separate document [DEP].
