At first I wasn't sure what a "route optimizer" was supposed to do --
the term is rather generic and could have a lot of different

Some years ago I was arguing with my then department head (whom I have
the greatest respect for, it should be said) at Cisco that IOS should
be turned open source. Needless to say, the suggestion was met with
"some" resistance, mildly speaking.
I still think the idea has a lot going for it. IOS

You're absolutely right, but your struggle is uphill. Some considerable
