Thanks Paolo! I’ll look into the bgp_agent_map.
In this case, both route servers *should* contain the same routing information however they will never be perfectly symmetrical. I’ll peer with the “primary” RS for now but I’ll be looking into a GoBGP daemon to feed BMP data into pmacct instead of direct peer. Also, is there a way to feed BMP and flow data into pmacct off a Kafka bus? It would be good to buffer input data streams into pmacct to allow for better data buffering and system resiliency?
