Dear authors of draft-ietf-grow-bmp-bgp-rib-stats,
Thank you for the work on these BGP RIB stats
After reading it, I actually am not sure about what the word "route" means in
the RIB counters?
Is it:
A. a destination
B. a tuple of Destination + Next-hop
C. a path: Destination + Attributes
D. none of the above? :)
Could you clarify that meaning when you describe counters of routes in RIBs for
the statistics?
Ideally, adding a paragraph to the draft about that would be great!
The statistics covered in this draft are for the BGP
Adj-Ribs-In/Adj-Ribs-Out logical tables. So, it'd be from the RFC 4271
definition:
Route
A unit of information that pairs a set of destinations with the
attributes of a path to those destinations. The set of
destinations are systems whose IP addresses are contained in one
IP address prefix carried in the Network Layer Reachability
Information (NLRI) field of an UPDATE message. The path is the
information reported in the path attributes field of the same
UPDATE message.
A sentence noting this might be helpful. Perhaps the chairs will flag
this as part of their shepherd review?
