Maxence To add –
The term “route” has been re-used from the base BMP RFC 7854, as this draft extends the stats defined there. Also note that RFC 4271 has been referred few times in this draft as well.

Is it: A. a destination B. a tuple of Destination + Next-hop C. a path: Destination + Attributes D. none of the above? :) Could you clarify that meaning when you describe counters of routes in RIBs for the statistics? Ideally, adding a paragraph to the draft about that would be great! The statistics covered in this draft are for the BGP Adj-Ribs-In/Adj-Ribs-Out logical tables. So, it'd be from the RFC 4271 definition: Route A unit of information that pairs a set of destinations with the attributes of a path to those destinations. The set of destinations are systems whose IP addresses are contained in one IP address prefix carried in the Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) field of an UPDATE message. The path is the information reported in the path attributes field of the same UPDATE message. A sentence noting this might be helpful. Perhaps the chairs will flag this as part of their shepherd review? -- Jeff
