Hi Authors and GROW WG, Thanks for introducing draft-ietf-grow-bmp-stats-informational-tlv-00. Moving to a flexible TLV structure for BMP Statistics is a very welcomed step.
I noticed that the draft currently introduces Median (P50) for statistical metrics. I would like to suggest exploring the addition of higher percentiles, such as P75, P95, or P99. In operational telemetry (e.g., routing convergence time, processing latency, or queueing delays), metrics often exhibit long-tailed distributions. While P50 provides a useful baseline, tail latencies and transient anomalies are usually masked by P50. In practice, operators rely heavily on P95 or P99 to detect SLA degradation and bottlenecks. It would be great to get the authors' and the WG's thoughts on whether expanding the scope to cover higher percentiles makes sense for this draft. Best regards, Shunwan
