Is anyone out there familiar with a company called "routescience"? I caught the below press release at and wanted to find out if anyone can relay any real-world experiences with their system? It almost sounds like they are using something like a Keynote Systems performance monitoring tool to inject BGP path preference information.

I'd put my money on yet another in a long line of optimized routing frauds. Let us not forget the quality internet routing that has been brought to us by Savvis, InterNap, Opnix, and AboveNet's ASAP. Who could forget all their wonderful phrases like "Tier 0" and "routing around the congestion". Routing around the brain cells is more like it. Now we have a whole new breed of .bombs who's goal is to sell you something which will magically improve your corporate T1s. If they spent 1/2 as much time actually coming up with a product as they have spent marketing their bullshit, they might be worth looking at. The only interesting thing to come out of these companies so far is the ability to change their business plans and names at the drop of a hat. Speedtrak -> Route Science iVMG -> netVmg iPeer -> Method Networks Arriva -> Sockeye Does anyone else see a pattern? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
