I would also wonder if someone has more details about how useful and good the Avaya/Routescience are in practice after significant time in deployment in the real world on a large network, were they worth whatever the price tag was to get and maintain ?

Oh, and how about Border6 ? I believe they have marketing language claiming to be able to achieve some similar things, in regards to automatic path optimizations and rerouting. :)

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.
