I have been reading the rfc for babel (haven't really looked at much
code yet, just setup a couple of machines last week). 

I remember some discussion of the telnet interface discussed, but...

Could the controller build up the topology via route request messages (section 
3.4.10 of the rfc) unicast with a prefix of 0, instead?
