Hi Lixia,

Hi Robert,
BMP is about what data to suck out from a BGP peer
this work is about what's the best format to put that data in

BMP defines what to send and how to send it ... it defines a new header to be used as a wrapper for the "raw" data.

As such it arrives on the management station.

What would such station do with it is outside of scope of bmp draft, but as currently defined/implemented there is no additional encoding of it between the router and mgmt station what so ever :).

Hence my question to clarify overlap between this work and bmp.

Cheers,
R.

agree.
what I said is a gross high level statement.
The above details definitely need to be clarified, if/when the WG agrees to take this work on.

We also meant to talk with BMP authors to sync up how best to handle this all (but as always, time is never enough to get all the things you wanted to get done to get done :-(
