But in the IETF IDR (Inter-Domain Routing) WG there is an effort to define a new and improved standard BGP MIB. http://tools.ietf.org/wg/idr/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2/ (The draft has currently "expired" because it hasn't been updated in six months. But as long as people are interested in this, there is a chance that this will become standardized eventually.) As of the latest proposal, this new BGP4-MIB will include bgpPrefixInPrefixesAccepted OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Gauge32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of prefixes for a peer that are installed in the Adj-Ribs-In and are eligible to become active in the Loc-Rib." ::= { bgpPrefixCountersEntry 4 } In addition, it will allow monitoring of BGP peerings and routes for (sub-) address families other than IPv4 unicast, in particular IPv6. It would be really great if vendors such as Foundry would go ahead and implement this draft. That way people could gather experience both implementing the SNMP agent side and using the MIB to monitor their peerings, and feed back those experiences into the IETF IDR WG. It's a shame that we still don't have a standard BGP MIB that has these things that many ISPs find essential for monitoring their peerings. -- Simon. _______________________________________________ Idr mailing list Idr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/idr
