That seems a good idea to me, I share the concern of not delaying this any longer. I do have one question which you may have answered already John, which made me quite keen to see BMP progress, I hope you can confirm this for me, and perhaps contrast the MRT perspective. I want to be able to look at received updates that may never even find their way into an Adj-RIB-In, for example because of cluster_list, originator_id, as_confed_* or as_path loop discards. Given, they could be legit and implicit withdraws, but I want to be able to count these, even though I assume (and do realize it's implementation specific) they're not stored in any manner on receipt. Can you clarify BMP and MRT behavior here for me? Thanks! -danny _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
