Hi Yunan, A1: I would carry all supported AFs as part of the same OPEN message. But you could do different, say, emulate a peer for each different AF. A2: I would myself say no (hence my A1 answer). Do you see a use-case for that? A3: If you are positive on A2: would it work for you to emulate a peer for each different AF that you may want to tear down independently of the others?

Section 6.1.1. Multiple Loc-RIB Peers says: “…In some implementations, it might be required to have more than one emulated peer for Loc-RIB to convey different address families for the same Loc-RIB. In this case, the peer distinguisher and BGP ID should be the same since it represents the same Loc-RIB instance. Each emulated peer instance MUST send a PEER UP with the OPEN message indicating the address family capabilities. A BMP receiver MUST process these capabilities to know which peer belongs to which address family…” Q1: Should different address families be carried in the same OPEN message or individual messages with the PEER UP for enabling different address families? Section 5.3. Peer Down Notification says: Peer down notification SHOULD use reason code TBD3. Following the reason is data in TLV format. The following peer Down information TLV type is defined: o Type = 3: VRF/Table Name. The Information field contains an ASCII string whose value MUST be equal to the value of the VRF or table name (e.g. RD instance name) being conveyed. The string size MUST be within the range of 1 to 255 bytes. The VRF/Table Name informational TLV SHOULD be included if it was in the Peer UP. Q2: Is there a strong motivation of disabling different address families under the same VRF separately? Q3: If yes to Q2, then where to carry such information in the PEER DOWN? Thanks.
