Hi,
After seeing Paolo’s talk at IETF117 on BMP REL, I have some comments:
I like the idea of adding RPKI status to the BMP message, currently its 
possible get the same functionality by adding the RPKI status in post 
processing eg. in PMACCT.
The RPKI status is checked against a route on the router as a routing policy, 
between Adj-Rib-Pre and Adj-Rib-Post. I would also like to see more generic 
supplementary information in the BMP such as which routing policy caused a 
rejection stopping a route being accepted.

This seems to me similar to adding the RPKI-OV status to the BMP.

Michael,

My thinking with going for the entire BGP Update PDU was that we can
re-use existing / validated code on both the export and collection
sides, making it easier to adopt this in practice. Sure, at the expense
of being slightly less optimal on the wire.

Indeed, would you have some proposal / example from MRT, i'd be more
than happy to familiarize with it. Although probably before getting
concrete about optimizations, we should first nail down where we want to
take this draft to.

Ack & agree.
