Re: [irs-discuss] IRS Problem Statement Posted

Hi Robert,

The "streaming" adjective will be gone in the next draft revision.  It
was replaced by describing the key attributes needed for the
interface.

At the IGP level, I can see applications adding in new prefixes or
data to distribute.  We have to see what else makes sense for that
sub-interface.
