The IESG has received a request from the Global Routing Operations WG (grow) to consider the following document: - 'BGP Monitoring Protocol' <draft-ietf-grow-bmp-15.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-09-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a protocol, BMP, that can be used to monitor BGP sessions. BMP is intended to provide a convenient interface for obtaining route views. Prior to 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. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-bmp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-bmp/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
