I believe ThousandEyes would be
another example.

Two 'established' options are,

0. Noction IRP (As mentioned)
1. Internap FCP

Everyone appears to either be using one of these, or have gone full
custom.

I'm having a look at real-time traffic engineering/management
solutions that include visibility/analysis/control and offer the
following basic characteristics:

1) take into account

   * links utilization/threshold/deviation
   * link price
   * packet delay/loss
   * physical/logical topology


2) and offer real-time automatic ingress/egress traffic adjustment using

   * netconf & bgp to change localpref/med/aspath/community
attributes (mandatory)
   * SDN/Openflow/I2RS/PCEP technologies (optional)


3) considering only IP traffic (MPLS can be optional), especially on
external links used for peering and transit by tier-1/2 providers.

Do you have any personal experience regarding the above features?

 From my personal search Cisco offers Quantum/WAE (inc MATE) which
seem very limited in real-time functionality and Huawei offers RR+
which seems interesting but unknown to many people (and maybe not
compatible with all vendor routers).

Any other idea or commercial option? Offline answers would be good too.
