Some brief notes...

OSPF API
 - Application-layer access to OSPF Opaque-LSA

 - Could be implemented with XRL, or with a OSPF-API migration library in C.

   XRL was invented for this sort of thing, so implementing an OSPF API
   for XORP would be far less painful than for Quagga/Zebra.

 - Implemented for Quagga <URL:http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~keller/ospfapi/>

 - Clients
  - SRRD <URL:http://srrd.org/DCwiki.srrd/Wiki.jsp?page=Home>
  - ANCS <URL:http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~keller/ancs/>

 - Could be used to implement TE-LSAs for MPLS-TE

I think SRRD is 'hella' cool.
