[c-nsp] Netcordia Net-MRI anyone?

[Joshua Lauer]

Actually it's sort of like Cisco works in some ways, 
although not as gigantic. It has some neat little 
features but what we like is that it gives you a 
network "stability" score based on cisco best 
practices. For a large network like ours it's 
helpful since we have different people of different 
skill levels doing things and it's hard for me to 
oversee EVERYTHING, this box does a pretty good job 
of it. I'm actually in the process of ordering this 
now, for the price it's a pretty good deal. You 
should give them a call and set up a demo, I dont 
work for them but I was sold on the product a couple 
days I had it in my network. If you really are 
interested in finding out more about it, call 
them...they know more about than I do, I only had it 
for two weeks before I gave it back. It has nothing 
to do with BGP
