1. Introduction

The Architecture for the Interface to the Routing System [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] allows for a mechanism where the distributed control plane can be augmented by an outside control plane through an open, accessible interface. This document summarizes the use case requirements for theI2RS client-I2RS Agent exchange found in the following documents:

Each group of use cases is presented in its own document. Each use case is labeled with an identifier TTT-REQ-nn where TTT represents the type of use case. The abbreviations for TTT are:

6.5. Virtual Topology IP Data Model

The [I-D.medved-i2rs-topology-requirements] specifies the following requirements for the Virtual Topology IP Data Model's IP/MPLS links and topologies:

6.6. Virtual Topology Network Element

The [I-D.medved-i2rs-topology-requirements] specifies the following requirements:

7. Requirements from SFC Use Cases

SFC-Use-REQ01:Address


has the following address requirements:

SFC-Use-REQ02:Supported Service Types


SHOULD include: NAT, IP Firewall, Load balancer, DPI, and others
SFC-Use-REQ03:Virtual contexts


SHOULD include:
SFC-Use-REQ04: Customers currently on node


SFC-Use-REQ05: Customer Support Table (per customer ID)
[SFC-Use-REQ06] Service Resource table


which includes:
[SFC-Use-REQ07] Virtual Network Topology (VNT)


which includes:

8. Requirements from Traffic Steering Use Cases

9. Requirements from MPLS TE Networks Use Cases

Theses are the requirements from the Traffic Steering use case described in [I-D.huang-i2rs-mpls-te-usecases]:

10. Requirements from MPLS LDP Networks Use Cases

These are the I2RS requirements for the MPLS LDP use case described in [I-D.chen-i2rs-mpls-ldp-usecases]:

11. Requirements from Mobile Backhaul Ues Cases

Mobile BackHaul Use cases described in [draft-ietf-zhang-mbb-usecases-01] are:

12. Requirements from :arge Data Flows are

Each of these requirements has been given an an ID number of L-Flow-nn for ease of reference.

The requirements from the Large Data Flows use case described in [I-D.krishnan-i2rs-large-flow-use-case] are:

13. Large Data Collection Systems

The requirements from the Large Data Collection Systems Use cases described in [draft-swhyte-i2rs-data-collection-system] are:

14. CDNI

15. IANA Considerations

This document makes no request of IANA.

16. Security Considerations

Routing information is very critical and sensitive information for the operators. I2RS should provide strong security mechanism to protect the routing information that it could not be accessed by the un-authorised users. It should also protect the security and integrity protection of the routing data.
