BGP Monitoring Protocol
RFC 7854, “BGP Monitoring Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2016 by J. Scudder, R. Fernando, S. Stuart. It has since been updated by RFC 8671, RFC 9069, RFC 9515, RFC 9736. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
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.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
