In general, I'm skeptical that it is really providing much of a performance boost. However, it does a good job at balancing traffic levels and that is the main value we get from the product. It was basically a "fire and forget" system. Once installed, we were able to just forget about traffic engineering and only touch things when adding/removing a link (or for special situations like manually routing around bad paths).
If you'd like technical information about how it works or the potential scaling issues that can result let me know what you're interested in and I can expand a bit.
Can you expand a bit on how it dealt with the Level3 meltdown last month? -- Christopher McCrory "The^W One of the guys that keeps the servers running" chrismcc@pricegrabber.com http://www.pricegrabber.com Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and no 'mute rays.'
