Abstract:
As modern networks grow in scale and complexity, the need for rapid
and dynamic control increases. With scale, the need to automate even
the simplest operations is important, but even more critical is the
ability to quickly interact with more complex operations such as
policy-based controls.
In order to enable applications to have access to and control over
information in the Internet's routing system, we need a publically
documented interface specification. The interface needs to support
real-time, transaction-based interactions using efficient data models
and encodings. Furthermore, the interface must support a variety of
use cases including those where verified control feed-back loops are
needed.
This document expands upon these statements of requirements to
provide a problem statement for an interface to the Internet routing
system.
