MIB design and application for source address validation improvement protocol

In this paper, we present SAVI-MIB, a management information base (MIB) designed to support configuration and monitoring of SAVI protocol which can provide fine granularity source address validation. Objects are defined to meet the detailed management requirement of local networks and accommodate different scenarios. SAVI-MIB is implemented in switches and deployed in some campus networks. Objects of SAVI-MIB are retrieved and used to help find configuration errors in SAVI deployment and profile behavior of end hosts. SAVI-MIB can also be used in parameter optimization, auto configuration, anomaly detection, etc.
