Abstract:
   A network routing protocol like BGP is typically configured and
   results of its operation are analyzed through some form of Command
   Line Interface (CLI) or NETCONF.  These interactions to control BGP
   and diagnose its operation encompass: configuration of protocol
   parameters, display of protocol data, setting of certain protocol
   states and debugging of the protocol.

   Interface to the Routing System's (IRS) Programatic interfaces, as
   defined in [I-D.ward-irs-framework], provides an alternate way to
   control the configuration and diagnose the operation of the BGP
   protocol.  IRS may be used for the configuration, manipulation,
   polling or analyzing protocol data.  This document describes a set of
   use cases for which IRS can be used for BGP protocol.  It is indended
   to provide a base for the solution draft descibring a set of
   Interfaces to the BGP protocol.
