Does WAE support and use BMP?

[ruudgroot1]

Objective: advanced BGP monitoring

From the Nanog45 presentation:

BMP provides all paths.

Peer identity (address, BGP Identifier, RD if applicable,AS number)

Time stamp (when route or route withdrawal was received, up to microsecond granularity)

statistics reporting

[Martin Thygesen]

WAE 6.x does not currently support BGP Monitoring Protocol.

WAE 7.x has not been GA released at the current time, so we cannot formally comment.

Both WAE 6 and 7 support BGP-LS for topology awareness in near real time in order to capture IGP state changes as quickly as possible.
