1.  Introduction

   Section 4.8 of [RFC7854] 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 [RFC8671] also defines several BMP statistics types
   for Adj-RIB-Out of a monitored router.

   New BMP statistics types are needed to enable more refined BGP route
   monitoring and analysis, improving operational maintenance and
   troubleshooting capabilities.

   This document defines gauges for new BMP statistics.  The
   applicability scope of these new gauges (Adj-RIB-In, Adj-RIB-Out,
   Loc-RIB) is provided in Section 4.  The format of the BMP statistics
   message remains same as defined in [RFC7854].

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.  The BCP14 is used to stress importance for
   operators but are not required as formal implementation requirement.

2.  Terminology

   This document makes use of the following terms:

   *  Adj-RIB-In: As defined in [RFC4271], "The Adj-RIBs-In contains
      unprocessed routing information that has been advertised to the
      local BGP speaker by its peers."

   *  Pre-policy Adj-RIB-In: The result before applying the inbound
      policy to an Adj-RIB-In.  Note that this is an explicit definition
      that aligns with the pre-policy Adj-RIB-In concept specified in
      Section 2 of [RFC7854].

   *  Post-policy Adj-RIB-In: As defined in Section 2 of [RFC7854].

   *  Adj-RIB-Out: As defined in [RFC4271], "The Adj-RIBs-Out contains
      the routes for advertisement to specific peers by means of the
      local speaker's UPDATE messages."

   *  Pre-policy Adj-RIB-Out: As defined in Section 3 of [RFC8671].

   *  Post-policy Adj-RIB-Out: As defined in Section 3 of [RFC8671].

   *  Loc-RIB: As defined in Section 1.1 of [RFC4271], "The Loc-RIB
      contains the routes that have been selected by the local BGP
      speaker's Decision Process."  Note that the Loc-RIB state as
      monitored through BMP might also contain routes imported from
      other routing protocols such as an IGP or local static routes.

   *  Route: As defined in Section 1.1 of [RFC4271].

   The terms "Producer" and "Collector" are equivalent to "Monitored
   Router" and "Monitoring Station", respectively.  Also,
   "implementation" is used following the same usage in [RFC7854].

3.  RIB Monitoring Statistics

   This section defines different statistics type for Adj-RIB-In and
   Adj-RIB-Out monitoring type.  Some of these statistics are also
   applicable to Loc-RIB; refer to Section 4 for more details.

3.1.  Statistics Format

   The BMP Statistics Report Message carries statistic information in
   Type-Length-Value (TLV) formats.  Each Statistic is encoded as a TLV
   (Stat Type, Stat Len, Stat Data) (Section 4.8 of [RFC7854]).  "Stat
   Data" is being referred as "value" when defining various RIB
   Monitoring Statistics.

   Statistics defined in this document can be categorized into two
   granularities: Global Statistics and Per-Address Family Identifier
   (AFI)/Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) [RFC4760]
   Statistics.  Statistics defined with Per-AFI/SAFI descriptions belong
   to Per-AFI/SAFI Statistics, while other statistics belong to Global
   Statistics.  Both a Global Statistic and its corresponding Per-AFI/
   SAFI Statistics can be reported simultaneously.

   The Per-AFI/SAFI Statistics apply only to the AFI/SAFIs that a BGP
   speaker supports and negotiates with its peer.  The authoritative
   registries for AFI/SAFI values are maintained by IANA [IANA-AFI]
   [IANA-SAFI].

   For Global Statistics, the "Stat Data" (value) field is a single
   64-bit unsigned integer gauge with "Stat Len" MUST be set to 8.  Each
   global statistic MUST appear only once in a BMP Statistics Report
   Message.

   For Per-AFI/SAFI Statistics, the "Stat Data" (value) field is a
   11-byte structured value formatted as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, and
   64-bit Gauge.  The "Stat Len" MUST be set to 11.  For any given per-
   AFI/SAFI Statistic, duplicate (AFI, SAFI) pairs MUST NOT appear
   within the same BMP Statistics Report Message.  Per-AFI/SAFI
   statistics MUST NOT be included in the BMP Statistics Report Message
   if there is no data to report for that AFI/SAFI.

   If statistics apply to the Loc-RIB, the "Peer Type" field in the Per-
   Peer Header of the corresponding BMP Statistics Report Message MUST
   be set to 3 (Loc-RIB Instance Peer) [RFC9069].  Otherwise, the "Peer
   Type" MUST be set as defined in Section 4.2 of of [RFC7854].

   A BMP implementation MUST ignore unrecognized stat types upon
   receipt.

3.2.  Adj-RIB-In RIB Monitoring Statistics Definition

   *  Type = 18: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in pre-policy
      Adj-RIB-In.  This gauge is similar to stats type 7 defined in
      [RFC7854] and makes it explicitly for the pre-policy Adj-RIB-In.

   *  Type = 19: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      pre-policy Adj-RIB-In.  This gauge is similar to stats type 9
      defined in Section 4.8 of [RFC7854] and makes it explicitly for
      the pre-policy Adj-RIB-In.  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 post-policy
      Adj-RIB-In.

   *  Type = 21: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In.  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
      pre-policy Adj-RIB-In rejected by inbound policy.  This gauge is
      different from stats type 0 defined in Section 4.8 of [RFC7854].
      The stats type 0 is a 32-counter which is a monotonically
      increasing number, while the stats type 22 is a 64-bit gauge which
      represents the current number of routes rejected by an inbound
      policy due to ongoing policy configuration changes.  The value is
      structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit
      Gauge.

   *  Type = 23: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In accepted by inbound policy.  The value is
      structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit
      Gauge.

   *  Type = 26: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In or Loc-RIB 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 route
      which has been declared suppressed by the BGP Route Flap Damping
      mechanism as described in Section 2.2 of [RFC2439].

   *  Type = 27: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In or Loc-RIB marked as stale by Graceful
      Restart (GR) events.  The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI,
      1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge.  'Stale' refers to a
      route which has been declared stale by the BGP GR mechanism as
      described in Section 4.1 of [RFC4724].

   *  Type = 28: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In or Loc-RIB 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
      route which has been declared stale by the BGP LLGR mechanism as
      described in Section 4.3 of [RFC9494].

   *  Type = 29: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in post-policy
      Adj-RIB-In left before exceeding the received route threshold as
      defined in Section 6.7 of [RFC4271].

   *  Type = 30: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes per-AFI/SAFI in
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In left before exceeding the received route
      threshold which corresponds to the upper bound of per-AFI/SAFI
      accepted routes following the model defined in Section 6.7 of
      [RFC4271].  The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI,
      followed by a 64-bit Gauge.

   *  Type = 31: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in post-policy
      Adj-RIB-In or Loc-RIB left before exceeding a license-customized
      route threshold.  If no such license is configured, or if the
      license does not impose a hard limit, this value MUST NOT be
      reported.

   *  Type = 32: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In or Loc-RIB left before exceeding a license-
      customized route threshold.  If no such license is configured, or
      if the license does not impose a hard limit, this value MUST NOT
      be reported.  The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI,
      followed by a 64-bit Gauge.

   *  Type = 33: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in pre-policy
      Adj-RIB-In rejected by exceeding the maximum AS_PATH length
      supported by the local configuration.

   *  Type = 34: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      in pre-policy Adj-RIB-In rejected by exceeding the maximum AS_PATH
      length supported by the local configuration.  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
      post-policy Adj-RIB-In invalidated through the Route Origin
      Authorization (ROA) of Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)
      [RFC6811].  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.

      NotFound due to the absence of a matching ROA of RPKI [RFC6811].
      The value is structured as: 2-byte AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a
      64-bit Gauge.

3.3.  Adj-RIB-Out RIB Monitoring Statistics Definition

   *  Type = 38: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
      pre-policy Adj-RIB-Out rejected by outbound policy.  These routes
      are active routes which 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.

   *  Type = 39: (64-bit Gauge) Current number of routes in pre-policy
      Adj-RIB-Out filtered due to AS_PATH length exceeding the locally

5.  Implementation Considerations

   This document specifies gauges for new BMP statistics.  The format of
   BMP statistics messages remains unchanged from [RFC7854].  This
   section outlines the implementation considerations for new BMP
   statistics.

   For backward compatibility, and absent policy otherwise, it is
   RECOMMENDED that BMP producers capable of generating both (Types 7
   and 18) or (Types 9 and 19) BMP statistics SHOULD transmit both
   corresponding types simultaneously.  This allows BMP collectors to
   process either format according to their needs without disrupting
   existing implementations that rely on Type 7 or Type 9.  The
   selection of which statistic types to generate within each pair
   SHOULD be treated as an implementation decision rather than a
   protocol requirement, with the BMP collector behavior for handling
   these statistic types remaining implementation-specific.

   Some statistics are dependent on feature configurations, such as GR,
   LLGR, and RPKI, so the corresponding statistics SHOULD only be
   generated and sent when these features are enabled on the BMP
   producer.  These statistics include Types 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32,
   33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, and 43.

   Some statistics are also relevant for the Loc-RIB view [RFC9069], so
   they may apply to the Loc-RIB view after best-path selection is
   completed.  These statistics include Types 26, 27, 28, 31, and 32.
   When these statistics apply to the Loc-RIB view, the Peer Type in the
   Per-Peer Header of the corresponding BMP Statistics Report Message
   MUST set to 3.

Srivastava, et al.         Expires 6 June 2026                  [Page 9]
Internet-Draft             BMP New Statistics              December 2025

   Certain statistics may have logical relationships (e.g., per-AFI/SAFI
   counts summing to global totals).  BMP statistics producers and
   collectors MAY perform consistency checks but MUST NOT assume strict
   dependencies (due to potential race conditions or partial failures).
   Discrepancies (e.g., sum(per-AFI/SAFI) != global count) SHOULD be
   logged as warnings but MUST NOT disrupt protocol operation.

   The generation and transmission of type 27 and 28 during an active
   GR/LLGR event consumes additional control plane resources (e.g.,
   CPU).  BMP statistics producers SHOULD prioritize the core GR/LLGR
   convergence procedures.  To avoid adversely impacting the restart
   process, a BMP statistics producer MAY choose to sample this value at
   a lower frequency, buffer updates, or temporarily suspend reporting
   for this type during the most critical phases of a switchover.

   These gauges may reset due to manual clearance, or overflow.  BMP
   statistics producers and collectors MUST track discontinuities and
   log this anomaly.

6.  Operational Considerations

   This section outlines some operational considerations of new BMP
   statistics for BMP operators.

   Transmission scheduling and triggering mechanisms for new gauges are
   implementation-dependent.  BMP operators SHOULD determine appropriate
   report generation and delivery strategies, including configurable
   timing intervals and threshold values.  The mechanism for controlling
   the reporting of new gauges SHOULD be consistent with that of
   existing types.

   BMP operators SHOULD rate-limit statistic updates to minimize
   performance impact on control-plane processes.  BMP operators SHOULD
   only enable necessary statistics to reduce memory and CPU overhead.
   Implementations SHOULD also support per-router configuration of
   statistic subsets for collection and reporting.

   Some BMP statistics producers, or configurations in BMP statistics
   producers, MAY discard routes that do not match policy and thus the
   accepted count (Type 23) and the Adj-RIB-In counts (Type 21) will be
   identical in such cases.  BMP operators SHOULD be aware of this
   behavior when interpreting these gauges.  BMP operators SHOULD be
   aware that BMP statistics producers and collectors MAY log
   inconsistencies between statistics as warnings.

7.  Security Considerations

   Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not
   affect the BMP security model.  All security and authentication
   mechanisms required by Section 11 of [RFC7854], Section 8 of
   [RFC8671], and Section 7 of [RFC9069] are also applicable to the
   gauges defined in this document.  This document does not add any
   additional security considerations.

   Monitored devices SHOULD be configured to implement rate-limited
   reporting of new gauges.

8.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has assigned the following new parameters in the BMP Statistics
   Types registry (https://www.iana.org/assignments/bmp-parameters/bmp-
   parameters.xhtml#statistics-types), part of the BMP parameters
   registry group (https://www.iana.org/assignments/bmp-parameters/bmp-
   parameters.xhtml).

   This document requests IANA to update these entries as follows.
   Also, the document requests IANA to update the reference cited for
   the entries with the RFC number to be assigned to this document.

9.  Implementation Status

   Note to the RFC Editor - remove this section before publication, as
   well as remove the reference to [RFC7942].

   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 [RFC7942].
   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 [RFC7942], "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".
