The votes are in, and the commercial winner for IP traffic engineering, planning, modeling, etc package is WAN DL <http://www.wandl.com/> The most frequent comment was "its expensive." Although WAN DL was the (only) commercial package mentioned, several people reported they are working with some homegrown tools, or SWAG. However no one was real happy with either the available commercial or homegrown tools they were using. Several vendor-types sent messages they are working on new tools for release "any day now." I was surprised I didn't hear about any projects from the academic world. The number of CS graduates continues to decline, have we dropped below critical mass?
