Internap's FCP is a bgp route optimizer. It connects to your network on the sideline and captures traffic either on a span/mirror port or by receiving flow data. Then based on your rules it probes to find the best routes and acting as route reflector will inject the routes to your network or just send you alerts and draw pretty pictures. Optimization can be for performance and/or cost. It also routes around issues like black holes. It's really only valuable when you're multihomed. The only competitor I'm aware of that is gone now was Avaya's RouteScience. There also exists a site packetdesign.com which *may* have a competing product.
