Re: Internap route optimization

A few years ago I had a couple boxes in a datacenter in Chicago that had its traffic optimized by Internap. Latency wise, it was always the lowest to my other applications, compared to other locations I had on-line. I am not sure what other benefits it brought aside from lower latency. One thing to

Just to be clear, Internap's solution doesn't use "more specifics" to steer traffic. The mechanisms in place to protect yourself from normal route leaking should apply just the same. --chip On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 5:01 AM, Christopher Morrow wrote: > Also, please, if you use one of this sort o

Hi, No particular experience with Internaps optimization...however I wouldn't be that sure if I would use it within our networks, because you always have the conflict of this not being their core business as they want to sell their optimized IP transit. However, some time ago we tried Border

Does anyone know or have any experience with Internap's route optimization? Is it any good? I've heard of competing solutions as well, such as the one provided by Noction. Thanks for your input, Paras
