So, there is something called the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP):
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-bmp-06
http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/abstracts.php?pt=MTM2NiZuYW5vZzQ1&nm=nanog45

Looks like it is supported in JunOS.

Has anyone used it?  If so, what monitoring software are you using?
