Does anyone still have a Route Science box running out there? Our enterprise still has a box running and working. Just curious..;-)
What is that? Never heard of that before. Some kind of routing data collection project?

Yeah, there are always great news stories. But media tends to exagerate things, and I think when it comes to enterprise products it's strictly promotional. When was the last time you heard a followup news story on one of those sorts of things 1yr later about BigCo dropped "Vendor X" product because they felt it's no longer worth it, the savings were less than expected and did not exceed the cost of the product, the actual thing fell short of marketing claims, or didn't actually work out so well, etc, etc.

Didn't Avaya completely drop the old Route Science line at this point? Internap still sells their FCP appliance which does similar things and of course Internap has their own MIRO system they have been using for probably 15+ years now to optimize paths out of their own datacenters/colos. Like the fellow from Border6 mentioned you can get a wealth of information out of the systems along with the path optimization. Phil On 11/16/14, 3:03 AM, "Jimmy Hess" <mysidia@gmail.com> wrote:

There's another option called the Noction IRP. I've been told that it's a cheaper FCP replacement. On 11/17/2014 午前 12:42, Phil Bedard wrote:

As someone that used the routescience/avaya product for 6-7 years and then also demoed the IRP I can tell you that the IRP has a lot of similar functionality that the routescience/avaya CNA product had. The nice thing about the Noction product (the demo at least?) is that you aren't locked into an ancient IBM xServer with a 32 bit kernel like you were with the Avaya product. You can install it on your own machines, so in theory it should be possible to scale it. Scaling was the only reason we decommissioned our CNA, otherwise we'd still be using it. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Greg Grabowski Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2014 11:41 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Route Science Does anyone still have a Route Science box running out there?
