HN845 - Real Life Use Cases for BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) - Heavy Networking

Oct 9, 2026

I joined Ethan Banks and Drew Conry-Murray on Heavy Networking to talk about the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP): how service providers use it in real life, and what the architecture behind it looks like.

We covered how I collect the data, why capturing routes both pre- and post-policy matters, how to deal with an overwhelming number of prefixes, what I’m planning next, and how you can get started with BMP yourself.
