In general, I'm skeptical that it is really providing much of a performance 
boost.  However, it does a good job at balancing traffic levels and that is 
the main value we get from the product.  It was basically a "fire and 
forget" system.  Once installed, we were able to just forget about traffic 
engineering and only touch things when adding/removing a link (or for 
special situations like manually routing around bad paths).

If you'd like technical information about how it works or the potential 
scaling issues that can result let me know what you're interested in and I 
can expand a bit. 

Can you expand a bit on how it dealt with the Level3 meltdown last
month?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
