Hi Stinson, as per our discussion, here is the e-mail from Jim on the
subject. I convinced Jim that this type of modeling effort is our gig and he completely agrees. As per Jim's suggestion, he and I will talk more on the product while we are in Denver. I suspect that we will arrange for the vendor to come to Houston and do a presentation on the product and install the product on our machines. As for additional development we should get John Bloomer and Jim together in a meeting and hash out the requirements from John Bloomer's perspective. Using Vince's analogy, this tool allows us to deternime the size of the cargo space needed for Fedex-like delivery (our streaming media products). Whereas, the optical light path switching (DS-3, OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48) based trading will reserve the underlying airline routes, etc. So the packet based stuff is looking at the required capacity from IP layer (Network and Transport: level 3 and 4) requirements. The optical light path is Level 1 & 2 based requirements. That is this tool will allow John Bloomer to size (actually we will do the analysis for him) the capacity requirement that he would need for the products that he is developing. That is my take on the difference, we'll find out otherwise. Once I finish off this discussion with Jim in Denver, I suggest putting Martin Lin on the job to find out more about the product and do the leg work to arrange for vendor demo and software installation. Martin will keep Samer and Chonawee updated on the information that he gathers. Martin please start checking on the web about this company and other similiar produts. I will get you contact number for EBS and the vendor as soon as Jim provides them to me. Avici uses this product. Avici is a next generation router vendor that is selling Terabit routers. EBS is an investor in that company.

As previously mentioned, we have purchased this S/W and are discussing potential co-development of module(s) currently not supported. My belief is we can spin up a couple of your studs and develop our own stuff faster @ a fraction of the cost. Avici, used OPNET to develop a circuit emulation model for their TSR and Cisco used OPNET for MPLS and DPT modeling. These guys are willing brides at this point. We just need to clearly identify their role in the network performance management and modeling space. We will have to talk more in Denver. My flight arrives @ 10:00 ish and I am told that rental cars are scarce.
