Configuring BMP
The BGP monitoring protocol (BMP) enables a BGP router (BMP client) to send session status information of the specified peers to BMP servers for monitoring. The session status information includes peer relationship establishment and termination as well as routing information. The BMP client communicates with the BMP servers through TCP connections.
