Hello Roman,
1. Bird 1.3.x is very old. Bird 1.6.8 and 2.0.7 are the current
versions. If you still run on Bird 1.3 I highly recommend that you
upgrade to at least 1.6.x
2. There is such a command already: `show protocols`. It doesn't show
you how many prefixes you received from it, but is you ask for more
detail it will: `show protocols all`. If you have a lot of peers, this
will show you way to much information, so you can also request this info
for 1 specific peer: `show protocols all
<name_of_the_peer_in_the_bird_config>`. I don't know if these commands
work on 1.3 though, but I think they would. I never used 1.3, I started
using Bird when 1.6.4 was the latest and greatest and Bird 2 didn't
exist yet.
Or is there some more you want to see from the `sh bgp sum` command that
isn't shown by `show protocols`, even with more details?
Kind regards,
Cybertinus

Hi,
we use BIRD in our environment, and it would be very nice to have some
command like `show bgp summary` in juniper. This command show
information about peer IP, peer AS, last update, prefixes
received/best/exported and last state.
Example:
bird> show bgp summary
Peer AS Last state change Prfx rcvd/best/export
State
X.X.X.X asXXXX 2021-01-27 6786/6785/109000
Established
Y.Y.Y.Y asYYYY 2020-12-16 0/0/0

The are patch created for BIRD 1.3.4 and 1.3.6, but it would be good to
have this in upstream software, without rebuilding and patching.
as I understand it, no functionality should be affected by these
changes, this is only a visual update for cli.
