I know someone using Border 6 and they're loving it, but inbound route optimizations are crude\limited.

Part of "SDN" (vomit.. I can't believe I just used that acronym), is knowing what the options are first. 1 For that you need BGP. 2 Then you need some way of performance testing multiple paths from various points. Then you need to use information from 1 & 2 to programmatically select $bestPath based on $criteria. Certain ISPs, Enterprises, and vendors are already doing things like this.

Now, I certainly wouldn't want anything less than full routes because it limits my options if I happen need to exercise such options. ~Seth </blockquote>
