Detect wireless fade and automatically route traffic to the most efficient path. You can't do that with mpls-te, and you can't get as low as a latency as these things have even with fastpath.

That's the shame of it, had they finished it it would have been a great product, although they used the "wrong" base technology. It should have been built on SBP or TRILL to allow for the traditional mesh design, instead of ITU G.3082v2 which requires rings.

Solution in search of a problem. What did it claim to do that you can't do with a properly designed OSPF + BGP + MPLS (and VRF) capable network?

Then again, I don't use Mikrotik routers, I use power hungry Cisco or Juniper gear so I don't have to deal with Mikrotik's wonky implementation of BGP and MPLS.

    We pulled it off our network last week. Bunch of money down the drain.

    Not happy with the way Accedian handled this, on multiple fronts.
    It's not like they were strapped for cash.

    I have a tub of equipment I really wanted to deploy. It's not
    being actively developed, so I have not deployed it. Are you
    running the latest software?

    Does anyone here on the list use Performant Nurons/Mind
    combination? What did you find worked best?

    We�ve been sitting on a Performant Mind and four Nurons for
    almost a year now. They sat for six months, then I spent another
    six months tinkering with them here and there. Regardless of
    their EOL, we�re looking to implement � but I�m running
    into the silliest of issues. I can�t even get traffic from the
    Mind to a Nuron to pass without 20% packet loss. This is without
    any routing, wireless backhauls, nothing. Just a VLAN-tagged NIC
    plugged straight into the Mind, Ethernet from Mind to a Nuron
    (where the vlan �pops�), then Ethernet to a second computer.

    �

    I�ve replaced the SFP adapters, the nuron, and verified none
    of the Ethernet cables are bad by literally coupling them all
    down a line and going straight from computer 1 to computer 2. No
    issue there.

    �

    This, combined with the fact that this stuff is going to be EOL
    in three years, is maddening. My boss was under the impression
    that this should be able to seamlessly integrate into our star
    topology (nuron at every tower making a ring), but we can�t
    even get basic LAN functions to work reliably.
