Internap FCP

Hi,

We are currently looking into Internap FCP as we are in the process of redoing our network infrastructure and taking on managing BGP ourselves rather than relying on blended providers. I am interested in hearing about experiences using it. Is the reporting really that good? Does it actually provide value? Or, is there something out there that is better (or should we just continue to plan to manage it ourselves?)

Thanks in advance for the info.

The reporting is not bad and it does an ok job. We ended up building our own because the FCP was not able to look at enough of the active flows. I believe the overall idea can provide a lot of value, it just was not the best solution for our needs.
