I would like to hear it too. However, in fairness to Routescience, did anyone on NANOG previously ask Cisco and Juniper to publicly talk about everything they (sometimes painfully) learned about how to create resilient IS-IS/OSPF/BGP implementations? And even if anyone would ask, are Cisco and Juniper likely to respond (thereby giving a heads up to their competitors)?
To the credit of Cisco and (later) Juniper IP routing folks, they always were in a very close touch with ISP backbone engineers. Cisco in particular publishes quite a lot of technical information. Which explais why their (and not their competitors) boxes are used to run the Internet.
Routescience may or may not have something worthwhile. However, I would respect their perogative to not say much more on the NANOG mailing list.
