- Interactions with the Routing Information Base (RIB). Allowing read and write access to the RIB, but no direct access to the Forwarding Information Base (FIB).
- Control and analysis of the operation of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) including the setting and activation of policies related to the protocol.
- Control, optimization, and choice of traffic exit points from networks based on more information than provided by the dynamic control plane.
- Distributed reaction to network-based attacks through rapid modification of the control plane behavior to reroute traffic for one destination while leaving standard mechanisms (filters, metrics, and policy) in place for other routes.
- Service layer routing to improve on existing hub-and-spoke traffic.
- The ability to extract information about topology from the network.
- Injection and creation of topology will not be considered as an initial work item.
