Hello, I am trying to determine for myself the relevance of Intelligent Routing Devices like Sockeye, Route Science etc. I am not trying to determine who does it better, but rather if the concept of optimizing routes is addressing a significant problem in terms of improved traffic performance ( not in cost savings of disparate transit pipes ) I am interested in hearing other views ( both for and against ) these devices in the context of optimizing latency for a small multi-homed ISP. I want to make sure I understand their context correctly and have not missed any important points of view. My questions are these: "Is sub-optimal routing caused by BGP so pervasive it needs to be addressed?" "Are these devices able to effectively address the need?" Thanks, Jim
