RFC 7854, the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP), uses different message
types for different purposes. Most of these are structured as Type,
Length, Value (TLV). One message type, the Peer Up message, lacks a
set of TLVs defined for its use, instead sharing a namespace with the
Initiation message. Experience has shown that this namespace sharing
was a mistake, as it hampers the extension of the protocol.

This document updates RFC 7854 by creating an independent namespace
for the Peer Up message. It also updates RFCs 8671 and 9069 by moving
defined codepoints into the newly introduced registry. Compliant
implementations of RFCs 7854, 8671, and 9069 also comply with this
specification.

This document is a product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
