This draft has been abandoned in favor of the bgp4-mibv2 effort.
The mibv2 is still under development and everyone who is interested
in the effort is invited to join the focus group list for the MIB:

mailto: majordomo@nexthop.com
message body: subscribe bgp-mib

The current mibv2 is available at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-01.txt

The status of the MIBs was updated at IDR in Salt Lake City.  The powerpoint
slides are available at
http://www.nexthop.com/standards/ietf_proceedings/01dec/mib-update-01dec.ppt

A short version of the status is: We are done with the base
architecture of the mib layout.  The following things need to be
done:

1. Split out non-NLRI info from NLRI.  (labeled routes, etc.)
2. Add full configuration structure - the stuff that is there is
   very tenuous at the moment and will change a lot between -01 and -02.
3. Lots of cleanup.
4. Adding additional extension based tables.
5. Additional notifications and counters.

We are, ideally, trying to avoid cluttering the IDR list with the
guts of working on the MIB until -02.  At that point, we're hoping
that things will be stable enough to request that implementations
begin.

To answer your specific questions, the yet to be fisnished configuration
objects in the MIB are meant to cover the problems you cite.

We look forward to additional participants in the MIB work.
