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.
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.
* Primary route: A BGP route to a prefix that is considered the best
route by the BGP decision process [RFC4271]. A prefix can have
more than one primary route.
* Backup route: A backup route is eligible for route selection, but
it is not selected as the primary route and is also installed in
the Loc-RIB. Backup routes are used for fast convergence in the
event of failures.
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 AFI/SAFI are used to identify network layer protocols and
associated routing information. The authoritative registries for
AFI/SAFI values are maintained by IANA [IANA-AFI] [IANA-SAFI]. The
Per-AFI/SAFI Statistics apply only to the AFI/SAFIs that a BGP
speaker supports and negotiates with its peer.
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.
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
and MUST exclude unsupported stat types upon transmission.

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
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
accepted by inbound policy. The value is structured as: 2-byte
AFI, 1-byte SAFI, followed by a 64-bit Gauge.
* Type = 24: (64-bit Gauge) Current 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.
* Type = 25: (64-bit Gauge) Current 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.
* Type = 26: (64-bit Gauge) Current 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 [RFC2439].

Internet-Draft BMP New Statistics November 2025
* Type = 27: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes in per-AFI/SAFI
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 path 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
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 [RFC9494].
* Type = 29: (64-bit Gauge) Current Number of routes 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
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 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
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 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
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

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
post-policy Adj-RIB-In validated by verifying route origin AS
number through the ROA of RPKI [RFC6811]. 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
post-policy Adj-RIB-In whose RPKI route origin validation state is
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

5. Operational Considerations
This document specifies gauges for new BMP statistics. The format of
BMP statistics messages remains unchanged from [RFC7854]. This
section outlines the operational considerations for new BMP
statistics.
Srivastava, et al. Expires 23 May 2026 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft BMP New Statistics November 2025
5.1. Operational Considerations to Produce Gauges for BMP Statistics
Messages
This section outlines the considerations to produce gauges for BMP
Statistics Report Messages.
Transmission scheduling and triggering mechanisms for new gauges are
implementation-dependent. Implementations 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.
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 router.
This statistics include Type 24, 25, 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. This statistics include Type 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, and
32. When this 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.
Certain statistics may have logical relationships (e.g., per-AFI/SAFI
counts summing to global totals). Implementations 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.
For backward compatibility, and absent policy otherwise, it is
RECOMMENDED that monitored routers capable of generating both (Type 7
and Type 18) or (Type 9 and Type 19) BMP statistics should transmit
both corresponding types simultaneously. This allows monitoring
stations 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 type(s) to generate within each pair
should be treated as an implementation decision rather than a
protocol requirement, with the monitoring station behavior for
handling these statistic types remaining implementation-specific.
These gauges may reset due to session restart, manual clearance, or
overflow. Implementations MUST track discontinuities and log this
information.

Internet-Draft BMP New Statistics November 2025
5.2. Operational Considerations for Operators Using Gauges for BMP
Statistics Message
This section outlines the considerations for the network operators
who configure and use BMP statistics.
Operators SHOULD consider rate-limiting statistic updates to minimize
performance impact on control-plane processes. Operators SHOULD
enable only necessary statistics to reduce memory and CPU overhead.
Implementations SHOULD also support per-router configuration of
statistic subsets for collection and reporting.
The generation and transmission of type 27 and 28 during an active
GR/LLGR event consumes additional control plane resources (e.g.,
CPU). Implementations should prioritize the core GR/LLGR convergence
procedures. To avoid adversely impacting the restart process, an
implementation 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.
Some implementations, or configurations in implementations, 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

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".
