Hi Dave, We utilize the 5014 box from Pathcontrol (having been connected to Internap before that) and it works great. We have just upgraded to the near latest software rev after waiting through the .0 and .1 releases. I can tell you that the box operates like they say it does. We have a total of 6 backbones, adding another 3 or 4 in the next month and it does not break a sweat keeping up with all the traffic. While I liked the Internap model, it shifted greatly from what we were sold and I had to find a way to keep my customers happy. I needed best performance routing and we found out that what we had been getting was least cost routing. In my case, it was getting the PathControl box and connecting to a bunch of backbones. In looking at all the hardware solutions, we looked at NetVMG before they were acquired by Internap and were not impressed with their product for a variety of reason. Hope this helps.
