Extensible Markup Language API

The extensible markup language (XML) application programming interface (API) is an XML interface
used for rapid development of client applications and perl scripts to manage and monitor the router.
Client applications can be used to configure the router, or to request status information from the router
by encoding a request in XML API tags and sending it to the router. The router processes the request and
sends the response to the client in the form of encoded XML API tags. The XML API supports readily
available transport layers, including Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA). The Secure Socket Later (SSL) transport is also supported by the XML API.
