I believe there is a snmp-oid that one can query to get
the number of prefixes that you are getting from a bgp peer.
if one uses that you can generate a snmp query that validates
that it is a sane number of prefixes. you could also use that to
validate that they're not leaking you a lot more routes than
the previous day. (ie: let them be within 5 or 10% but e-mail/page
you if it goes outside this, too low or too high).
If someone has this oid can you please post it? Thanks.
