pybgpkit in parse-only mode

[ACodingfreak]

Hi All,

I understand that currently pybgpkit cannot parse BMP messages from a Kafka stream. If I have kafka consumer can it parse BMP messages ?

Let us say I am having kafka consumer logic to read data from a kafka topic in python. Can I use the bgpkit as a parser to parse the BMP messages (bmp_raw) and generate bgp updates out of it ? If Yes, can someone share an example for the same ?

It is a feature that we want to add to the Rust lib, but it's unlikely to come to python bind soon as the actual BGP message structs are not easy to translate to Python.
