Also, please, if you use one of this sort of device filter your prefixes toward your customers/peers/transits... Do not be the next person to leak their internap-box-routes to the world, m'kay? :) On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 8:53 PM, Fred Hollis <fred@web2objects.com> wrote:
Hi,
No particular experience with Internaps optimization...however I wouldn't be that sure if I would use it within our networks, because you always have the conflict of this not being their core business as they want to sell their optimized IP transit.
However, some time ago we tried Border6 in an evaluation and then finally put it into production. Not only the optimization is nice, but the reporting is so extremely detailed making it very transparent where the transit has congestion issues and which prefix is routed (in and out) through which upstream.
For sure traffic engineering/optimization is not a trivial task but requires deep thinking and understanding of the whole BGP and routing picture.

Does anyone know or have any experience with Internap's route optimization? Is it any good?
I've heard of competing solutions as well, such as the one provided by Noction.
Thanks for your input, Paras
