I'm wondering why it is necessary to have a new way of dumping tables and updates. IMO the MRT format is a very well known and accepted format. There are existing parser libraries and many bgp implementations already support this format. Wouldn't it be better to make a joined effort to merge MRT and BMP? -- :wq Claudio _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
