[c-nsp] LiveAction?

[Adam Greene]

Hi all,

 

Sent this note off to NANOG, and got some positive feedback, but only from
one person; thought I would try here, too, since it is Cisco specific.

 

Basically just trying to find out if anyone has used this product:

Cisco seems to tout it:

We're evaluating it as a way to manage customer bandwidth utilization on our
service provider network.

 

To me, it looks like an affordable alternative to deploying extremely
expensive bandwidth management appliances. It's centrally managed on a VM,
and I like that it does not impose scalability limitations like some
bandwidth management vendors who charge every time you want to push more
bandwidth through their devices. 

 

The feedback I've received so far is that on a 200 WAN-router deployment, it
works like a charm. Our particular use case will be much smaller. 

 

Interested in whether anyone else has rolled it out and how their experience
has been.

 

Thanks,

Adam
