- represents the first step in putting data to datastore. This writer is
notified whenever a peer receives an Update message. The message is
transformed into binding-independent format and pushed into datastore to
*adj-rib-in*. This RIB is associated with a peer.
-**`EffectiveRibInWriter <https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=bgpcep.git;a=blob;f=bgp/rib-impl/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/protocol/bgp/rib/impl/EffectiveRibInWriter.java;hb=refs/heads/stable/boron>`__**

- this writer is notified whenever *adj-rib-in* is updated. It applies
all configured import policies to the routes and stores them in
*effective-rib-in*. This RIB is also associated with a peer.
-**`LocRibWriter <https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=bgpcep.git;a=blob;f=bgp/rib-impl/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/protocol/bgp/rib/impl/LocRibWriter.java;hb=refs/heads/stable/boron>`__**

- this writer is notified whenever **any** *effective-rib-in* is updated
(in any peer). Performs best path selection filtering and stores the
routes in *loc-rib*. It also determines which routes need to be
advertised and fills in *adj-rib-out* that is per peer as well.
-**`AdjRibOutListener <https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=bgpcep.git;a=blob;f=bgp/rib-impl/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/protocol/bgp/rib/impl/AdjRibOutListener.java;h=a14fd54a29ea613b381a36248f67491d968963b8;hb=refs/heads/stable/boron>`__**

- listens for changes in *adj-rib-out*, transforms the routes into
BGPUpdate messages and sends them to its associated peer.
