What is bgp4V2PeerInTotalMessages?
This counter tracks the total number of all BGP message types, including UPDATE, KEEPALIVE, and NOTIFICATION, received from a specific peer. Admins use this broader counter alongside bgp4V2PeerInUpdates to distinguish whether a peer is silent entirely or just not sending route updates. For example, a rising total-messages count with a flat updates count suggests the peer is alive and exchanging keepalives but has no new routes to advertise.
