Definition For New BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) Statistics Types

Section 4.8 of defines a number of different BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) statistics types to observe major events that occur on a monitored router. Stats are either counters or gauges. Section 6.2 of also defines several BMP statistics types for Adj-RIB-Out of a monitored router. This document defines new gauges for BMP statistics message. The format of the BMP statistics message remains same as defined in .

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. The terminology in this document aligns with and .

This section defines different statistics type for Adj-RIB-In and Adj-RIB-Out monitoring type.

Type = 18: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in Adj-RIBs-In Pre-Policy . Note that this gauge updates stats type 7 defined in and makes it an explicit for Adj-RIBs-In Pre-Policy . Type = 19: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-Address Family Identifier (AFI)/Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) Adj-RIBs-In Pre-Policy. Note that this gauge is similar from stats type 9 defined in and makes it a explicit for Adj-RIBs-In Pre-Policy. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 20: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy . Type = 21: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 22: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI rejected by inbound policy. Note that this gauge is different from stats type 0 defined in . The stats type 0 in is a 32-counter which is monotonically increasing number and doesn't represent the current number of routes rejected by an inbound policy due to ongoing configuration changes. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 23: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI accepted by inbound policy. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Some implementations, or configurations in implementations, may discard routes that do not match policy and thus the accepted count and the Adj-RIB-In counts will be identical in such cases. Type = 24: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI selected as primary route. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. A primary route is a recursive or non-recursive path whose next-hop resolution ends with an adjacency . A prefix can have more than one primary path if multipath is configured . A best path is also considered as a primary path. Type = 25: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI selected as a backup route. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. A backup path is also installed in the Loc-RIB, but it is not used until some or all primary paths become unreachable. Backup paths are used for fast convergence in the event of failures. Type = 26: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI suppressed by configured route damping policy. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Suppressed refers to a path which has been declared suppressed by the BGP Route Flap Damping mechanism as described in Section 2.2 of . Type = 27: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI marked as stale by any configuration. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Stale refers to a path which has been declared stale by the BGP Graceful Restart mechanism as described in Section 4.1 of , such as the routes filtered by a remote peer through application of policies during a graceful restart. Type = 28: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI marked as stale by Long-Lived Graceful Restart (LLGR). The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Stale refers to a path which has been declared stale by the BGP LLGR mechanism as described in Section 4.3 of . Type = 29: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes left until reaching the received route threshold as defined in Section 6.7 of . Type = 30: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI left until reaching the received route threshold as defined in Section 6.7 of . The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 31: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes left until reaching a license-customized route threshold. This value is affected by whether a customized license exists for the relevant address family, and when the customized license is installed. If the license-customized route threshold is vendor specific, this type value (31) SHOULD use enterprise-specific TLV encoding as described in Section 3.3 of . Type = 32: (64-bit Gauge) Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI left until reaching a license-customized route threshold. This value is affected by whether a customized license exists for the relevant address family, and when the customized license is installed. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Also if the license-customized route threshold is vendor specific, this type value (32) SHOULD also use enterprise-specific TLV encoding as described in Section 3.3 of . Type = 33: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes rejected by exceeding the length threshold of AS-PATH. Type = 34: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI rejected by exceeding the length threshold of AS-PATH. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 35: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy invalidated through the Route Origin Authorization (ROA) of Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) . This is total number of routes invalidated due to origin Autonomous System (AS) number mismatch and prefix length mismatch. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 36: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy validated by verifying route origin AS number through the ROA of RPKI . The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = 37: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy not found by verifying route origin AS number through the ROA of RPKI . The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = TBD1: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy invalidated due to origin AS mismatch by verifying route origin AS number through the ROA of RPKI . The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. Type = TBD2: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI Adj-RIBs-In Post-Policy invalidated due to prefix length mismatch by verifying route origin AS number through the ROA of RPKI . The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge.

Type = 38: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI rejected by outbound policy. These routes are active routes which should otherwise would have been advertised in absence of outbound policy which rejected them. The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge. This counter only considers routes distributed from Loc-RIB into the Adj-RIBs-Out and does not include cases like BGP add-paths . Type = 39: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes refused to be sent by exceeding the length threshold of AS-PATH. Type = 40: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI refused to be sent by exceeding the length threshold of AS-PATH.

Note to the RFC Editor - remove this section before publication, as well as remove the reference to . This section records the status of known implementations of the protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in . The description of implementations in this section is intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may exist. According to , "this will allow reviewers and working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature. It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as they see fit".
