Greetings, I'm serving as the editor of the current BGP-4 MIB. We're trying to push the MIB through standards. Last call has been issued. The MIB, as currently documented includes the following four objects: bgpPeerInUpdates bgpPeerOutUpdates bgpPeerInTotalMessages bgpPeerOutTotalMessages Each of these objects has the following clause, and has had it for some time: : This object should be initialized to zero (0) when the connection : is established. This is, for at least two major implementations, not the observed behavior. What is your expectations for these objects in the MIB. The MIB in question is at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mib-11.txt Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Note also: The BGP Traps have changed. This may affect your SNMP monitoring stations. -- Jeff Haas NextHop Technologies
