Thanks Mukul, I'll update that as noted.

Hi All

The current BMP Adj-RIB-Out draft doesn’t define what timestamp should be used 
in Per-Peer header for BMP ADJ-RIB-OUT monitoring.

BMP RFC 7854 defines “Timestamp” in Per-Peer header as below:

Timestamp: The time when the encapsulated routes were received (one may also 
think of this as the time when they were installed in the Adj-RIB-In), 
expressed in seconds and microseconds since midnight (zero hour), January 1, 
1970 (UTC).  If zero, the time is unavailable.  Precision of the timestamp is 
implementation-dependent.

The above timestamp use doesn’t make much sense for Adj-RIB-Out case. A better 
value for timestamp, would be the time when a prefix was advertised to a peer. 
Collector can use this time stamp to get some sense of “when a given prefix was 
advertised to a peer”.

Otherwise the definition of “timestamp” would be the same as in RFC 7854. So, 
something like this should be added in the for BMP ADJ-RIB-OUT draft:

   o  Timestamp: The time when the encapsulated routes were advertised
      (one may also think of this as the time when they were installed
      in the Adj-RIB-Out), expressed in seconds and microseconds since
      midnight (zero hour), January 1, 1970 (UTC).  If zero, the time is
      unavailable.  Precision of the timestamp is implementation-
      dependent.

Thanks
Mukul
