Re: [irs-discuss] New Non-WG Mailing List: irs-discuss -- Interface to The Internet Routing System (IRS)

I am not quite sure about this. We find the problem statement of IRS as follows:

<>
   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. </>

The way I understand, it's about building flexible/programmable 
abstractions into Routing Systems - It's not necessary that entire control plane is taken away. So I don't see the framework as complete separation 
of control plane and data plane.

The IRS frame work further highlights Bidirectional Interfaces to the Routing System.

Thanks,
Pranjal

It really looks like very close from what the Forces working group
have been doing. Can anyone explain why we need to start a new
project?
