Providing router information according to a programmatic interface

摘要

A provider network may implement providing router information according to a programmatic interface. A plurality of routers may be implemented as part of provider network. Clients that utilize these routers may wish to obtain information specific to one or more routers in order to configure communications utilizing the particular router. A request may be received for the information from the client that is formatted according to the programmatic interface that is platform-independent. The requests may be maintained along with other received requests until selected for servicing according to a priority scheme. The request may be translated into one or more versions of the request that are formatted according to a interfaces specific to the one or more routers. The translated one or more versions of the request may be sent to the one or more routers to obtain the information from the one or more routers. The information may then be provided to the client.
