BMP is intended to provide a convenient interface for obtaining route views. Prior to introduction of BMP, screen-scraping was the most commonly-used approach to obtaining such views. 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. @@ -28,21 +28,21 @@ Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Multiple Instances Some routers may support multiple instances of the BGP protocol, for example as "logical routers" or through some other facility.

Locally-Originated Routes Some consideration is required for routes originated into BGP by the local router, whether as a result of redistribution from a another protocol or for some other reason. Such routes can be modeled as having been sent by the router to itself, placing the router's own address in the Peer Address field of the header.
