This document is an Internet Draft.  Internet Drafts are working
documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its Areas, and
its Working Groups.  Note that other groups may also distribute working
documents as Internet Drafts.

Internet Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months.
Internet Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other
documents at any time.  It is not appropriate to use Internet Drafts as
reference material or to cite them other than as a "working draft" or
"work in progress."

Please check the I-D abstract listing contained in each Internet Draft
directory to learn the current status of this or any other Internet
Draft.

This memo is an extension to the SNMP MIB.  It specifies an IAB
standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests
discussion and suggestions for improvements.  The origin of this memo is
from RFC 1269 "Definitions of Managed Objects for the Board Gateway
Protocol (Version 3)" written by the first two authors of this memo.

Distribution of this memo is unlimited.  Please forward comments to

1. Introduction

This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet

community.  In particular, it describes managed objects used for
managing the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower [1, 2].



2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components.  They are:

      RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
      and naming objects for the purpose of management.

      RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the
      Internet suite of protocols.

      RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other architectural
      aspects of the framework.

      RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
      managed objects.

The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.



3. Object Definitions

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the
Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are defined
using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defined in the
SMI.  In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
an administratively assigned name.  The object type together with an
object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation of
the object.  For human convenience, we often use a textual string,
termed the descriptor, to refer to the object type.



4. Overview

These objects are used to control and manage a BGP-4 implementation.

Apart from a few system-wide scalar objects, this MIB is broken into
three tables: the BGP Peer Table, the BGP Received Path Attribute Table,
and the BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table.  The BGP Peer Table
contains information about state and current activity of connections

INTERNET DRAFT                 BGP-4 MIB                November 9, 1995


with the BGP peers.  The Received Path Attribute Table contains path
attributes received from all peers running BGP version 3 or less.  The
BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table contains path attributes received
from all BGP-4 peers.  The actual attributes used in determining a route
are a subset of the received attribute tables after local routing policy
has been applied.
