I'm having a look at real-time traffic engineering/management solutions that include visibility/analysis/control and offer the following basic characteristics:
1) take into account * links utilization/threshold/deviation * link price * packet delay/loss * physical/logical topology 2) and offer real-time automatic ingress/egress traffic adjustment using * netconf & bgp to change localpref/med/aspath/community attributes (mandatory) * SDN/Openflow/I2RS/PCEP technologies (optional) 3) considering only IP traffic (MPLS can be optional), especially on external links used for peering and transit by tier-1/2 providers. Do you have any personal experience regarding the above features? >From my personal search Cisco offers Quantum/WAE (inc MATE) which seem very >limited in real-time functionality and Huawei offers RR+ which seems >interesting but unknown to many people (and maybe not compatible with all >vendor routers). Any other idea or commercial option? Offline answers would be good too. -- Tassos
