RFC 7854: BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8671, RFC 9069, RFC 9515, RFC 9736. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP), which can be used to monitor BGP sessions. BMP is intended to provide a convenient interface for obtaining route views. Prior to the introduction of BMP, screen scraping was the most commonly used approach to obtaining such views. The design goals are to keep BMP simple, useful, easily implemented, and minimally service affecting. BMP is not suitable for use as a routing protocol.
