Network and system management paradigms have recently evolved towards flexible and lightweight integration approaches. These approaches are based on the transparent information‐processing capabilities offered by both generous support for self‐describing data enabled by XML as well as from the large base of existing underlying tools. BGP is, from a configuration point of view, one of the most complex protocols of the Internet and as such a very good validation environment for new management frameworks. This paper describes the practical experience gathered from the design, implementation and deployment of a comprehensive XML‐based management architecture for the Border Router Gateway Protocol.
