bgpctl sh rib mem

[Denis Fondras]

Hello,

I have an OpenBGPd router with OpenBSD5.3, peering with two remote
routers (one for v4 and one for v6). I expect my peers to send me only
valid routes.

Is there a way to show every prefixes sent by a peer, even invalid ones ?

I know of "bgpctl show rib" but I'd like to understand what this line
means : "27808 prefix entries using 869K of memory"

For me it looks like half of the prefixes I receive are invalid (in
memory bu not in RIB) and I'd like to understand why.

Thank you in advance,
Denis
