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

Jamal:

Can you give an example of how IRS and Forces might interact via this route
socket? 
Due to the wide background on the lists (irs & forces) , it would be good to
give an example within a switch or router as context.

In my view:
IRS may provide an API or abstraction that looks like a routing sockets or
netlink_route (refer to section 3.1 and 3.2 of RFC 3549), underneath the
implementation maybe indeed ForCES.
