Hi Robert,

Please think of OSPF-GT as a new protocol and it borrows ideas from OSPF. 
BGP-LS is one use case. In LSR WG, there have been proposals asking IGPs to 
carry non-routing information which will have impacts on protocol convergence, 
and OSPF-GT is meant to be the vehicle for such information.

BMP started before YANG, now with NETCONF/YANG or gNMI, you can retrieve the 
entire LSDB or part of it from a router, or subscribe to some data instances. 

Thanks,
Yingzhen
