Hi Robert,

“BMP for BGP-LS” should be “BMP for BGP-LS Address family”, sorry for the 
omissions.

Best Regards,
Shunwan

I think Tim's proposal is very useful.
Especially in the BMP for BGP-LS address family, the controller builds a 
real-time topology based on BGP-LS information.
Another scenario is where the controller collects BGP routes through BMP and 
correlates them with traffic information collected by IPFIX to build a traffic 
matrix.

Thanks,
Shunwan

When I wrote route-refresh, that was from the router/sender side, not BMP 
receiver sending a route-refresh. BMP is still write-only.

There are use-cases for re-syncing the RIB to the BMP receiver.  Some of the 
methods today are to clear the peer, request a route-refresh in, or to reset 
the BMP feed. This is a bit intrusive to the router (sender) and BMP receiver. 
Having to go to the router to request a refresh to the BMP server, IMO, is 
still okay.  The problem is that control knobs for refresh are at the BGP peer 
level, not BMP.  For Adj-RIB-In Pre-Policy, it makes sense to do that on the 
peer, but for Post-Policy, Adj-RIB-Out and Local-RIB, it doesn’t really make 
sense.  Having a knob to initiate BMP side refresh would be very nice and 
hopefully less intrusive.

Regardless of the BMP server needing a refresh, a BMP server does not know when 
someone has requested route-refresh IN at the peer level (maybe it was 
requested for policy change, …) Instead, the BMP receiver, blindly, receives a 
boat load of updates with no awareness that it was a new RIB dump or controlled 
refresh. In this case, it would appear to be churn.  IMO, there is value in 
having a message to signal the receiver that a refresh is coming, followed by 
an EoR.  A PEER_UP could be used for this, but that is intrusive and misuse of 
PEER_UP.

Would someone clarify what they mean by a bmp route refresh?

The BMP protocol was intentionally designed as write-only.
