If you don't want a GUI and the fancy what if scenarios, it is not difficult to write a Perl/Script that does constraint-based routing or Multi-commodity flow problems. I would guess 2-3 weeks if one is familiar with basic linear programming.

So the bad thing is the software is very expensive. It's the only software that can simulate Constraint-Based routing now.
