Hello Authors

I have a question on the data ordering between the producers (BMP speaking 
router) and consumers ( BMP station) .

My high-level understanding on your draft is that a BMP speaker sends BMP feed 
to a BMP station based on the yang path subscription.
The topics and indexes for partition are created in certain way as described in 
the draft.
Pls correct me if my understanding is not correct.

In Kafka, data ordering is guaranteed only on a single partition of a single 
topic.
This means data can arrive unordered to the consumer in below cases-

  1.
Data sent by a producer across different topics.
  2.
Data sent by a producer, on a topic which has multiple partitions, and the 
producer is sending data on different partition.

In a BMP echo system, data ordering is important. For example. a collector will 
expect bmp-init message from a router to arrive before bmp-term message.
With the proposed key and topic format, I feel we have an out-out-order issue 
here.

Let me know if I am missing something or this has been handled in some way in 
this draft.


Thanks

Mukul
