"MRT routing information export format", Larry Blunk, Manish Karir, Craig Labovitz, 14-Jul-08. ( bytes): This document describes the MRT format for routing information export. This format was developed in concert with the Multi-threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT) from whence the format takes it name. The format can be used to export routing protocol messages, state changes, and routing information base contents.
"BGP Monitoring Protocol", John Scudder, Rex Fernando, Stephen Stuart, 19-Nov-08. ( bytes): This document proposes a simple protocol, BMP, which can be used to monitor BGP sessions. BMP is intended to provide a more convenient interface for obtaining route views for research purpose than the screen-scraping approach in common use today. The design goals are to keep BMP simple, useful, easily implemented, and minimally service-affecting. BMP is not suitable for use as a routing protocol.
