bgp-models

bgp-models is a library that defines the basic BGP and MRT message data structures. This library aims to provide building blocks for downstreams libraries working with BGP and MRT messages such as MRT parser or BGP table constructor.

Supported RFCs

Most of the structs defined in this library are named after the formal definitions in a number of RFCs. Here is a list of them:
