Please pardon this intrusion in the usual operational chatter.
I have been working on the successor to the BGP MIB within IETF over the
last several years. As part of a review of the current draft of this
MIB (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-07) I have
been requested to gather operational consensus regarding being able to
configure your BGP peering sessions from within the MIB. Please see the
forward below for the details.
The BGP MIBv2 is attempting to address some operational holes with
regards to the current BGP MIB. These issues include IPv6 support and
also better counters for your peering session. In addition to feedback
on the configuration objects issue I'd appreciate general feedback on
the MIB on or off the list.
My goal is to resolve all remaining open issues with the MIB within the
next few months and get it into working group last call. A reference
implementation in Quagga will likely follow.
