There it is, Improved routing.
Perhaps you mean "improved forwarding".
In an environment that is heavily peered, what is the visual
difference in experience for a customer connecting to a site at 1ms
vs. 1.4ms?
Across the sea, assume 140ms between Cape Town - London (Omicron,
anyone?), what is the visual difference between 140ms vs. 196ms?
Okay, bad example, but I can probably get an MS-MPC from Juniper
that can claw back 1.3X of that 1.4X advantage :-). Besides,
locally-peered traffic is likely to exceed long-haul traffic, in
many markets.
