Dear Mukul,

One more comment I missed in my previous feedback.

A BGP speaker may have an prefix count upper bound as described in Section 6.7 
of RFC 4271 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4271#section-6.7) 
configured. When this upper bound is being reached, the BGP peer will be 
temporarely be teared down and a BGP NOTIFICATION message with reason subcode 
as described in Section 3 of RFC 4486 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4486#section-3) is being encapsulated 
in the BMP peer_down message with reason code 1 as described in Section 4.9 of 
RFC 7854 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7854#section-4.9).

However that the network operator is being notified when the upper bound is 
being reached is not sufficient, the network operator also wants to monitor the 
capacity, how many prefixes left until the upper bound is being reached.

I suggest therefore to add an aditional BMP stats counter describing

- how many prefixes until upper bound is being reached
- how much percentage of the defined bound is currently being used

Thank you very much for consdering. Again very happy you take the initiaive to 
add additional BMP stats counters.

Best wishes
Thomas

Dear GROW,

I support the adoption of the document.

Some comments for the authors:

I suggest to reference RFC 9494 in TBD6 of section 2.1 to clearly describe the 
meaning.

Regarding TBD5, the meaning of "marked as stale by any configuration" is 
unclear to me. Please describe in more detail.

Would you consider to align the proposed counters to what is being defined in 
section 2.1 of BMP path status 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-grow-bmp-path-marking-tlv-00#section-2.1
 ?

Best wishes
Thomas
