[Warning: thinking out loud...]

a) I understand the need to cost out a link with a single CLI on a
single router.
b) I hear that some would prefer management action be done with
management protocols rather than routing protocols extensions.

So what about doing (a) with management protocols? i.e. a router A
providing a single CLI and triggering the remote action on router B
using management protocols.
That would also serve as a test to see by ourselves if this is
convenient or if those management protocols need enhancement. It could
also be reused as an example for NMS to do it by themselves next (next?)
time.

Bruno
