A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7854 Title: BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) Author: J. Scudder, Ed., R. Fernando, S. Stuart Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2016 Mailbox: jgs@juniper.net, rex@cisco.com, sstuart@google.com Pages: 27 Characters: 60953 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-grow-bmp-17.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7854 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7854 This document defines the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP), which can be used to monitor BGP sessions. BMP is intended to provide a convenient interface for obtaining route views. Prior to the introduction of BMP, screen scraping was the most commonly used approach to obtaining such views. The design goals are to keep BMP simple, useful, easily implemented, and minimally service affecting. BMP is not suitable for use as a routing protocol. This document is a product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
