RFC 1657                       BGP-4 MIB                       July 1994


3. Object Definitions

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
   defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
   defined in the SMI.  In particular, each object type is named by an
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name.  The object
   type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a
   specific instantiation of the object.  For human convenience, we
   often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the
   object type.

4. Overview

   These objects are used to control and manage a BGP-4 implementation.

   Apart from a few system-wide scalar objects, this MIB is broken into
   three tables: the BGP Peer Table, the BGP Received Path Attribute
   Table, and the BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table. The BGP Peer
   Table contains information about state and current activity of
   connections with the BGP peers. The Received Path Attribute Table
   contains path attributes received from all peers running BGP version
   3 or less. The BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table contains path
   attributes received from all BGP-4 peers.  The actual attributes used
   in determining a route are a subset of the received attribute tables
   after local routing policy has been applied.
