# bgp-models

`bgp-models` is a library that defines the basic BGP and MRT message data structures.
This library aims to provide building blocks for downstream libraries working with BGP and MRT
messages such as MRT parser or BGP table constructor.

## Minimum Supported Rust Version

`1.46.0`

## Supported RFCs
