Cisco Systems Cisco Systems The BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) [RFC7854] Statistics Report carries RIB occupancy, policy, and route-processing metrics. Some existing types count UPDATE messages, but only as special cases grouped by result (duplicates, loops, and errors). No statistic gives a total count of each BGP message type. This document defines those totals as new BMP Statistics Types (UPDATE, KEEPALIVE, NOTIFICATION, ROUTE-REFRESH, and all BGP PDUs in each direction), states the operational use cases that motivate them, and records explicit non-goals so that last-error content, negotiated timer values, and implementation-specific internals remain out of scope.
