If you're already using MRTG, hopefully you're at least passingly familiar
with perl and SNMP. If so, you can do some hackery to identify your BGP
peer interfaces automatically and then use it to reference existing
interface graphs.
Take a peek in the BGP4 mib, specifically at the BgpPeerEntry subtree. You
may need to do some correlation inside the ifTable or maybe even ifX,
depending on platform and implementation, to correctly identify the
interface of your peer.
