OT: network routing information

[Jerome Macaranas]

Since I'm dealing with a sales personnel I would assume that he's not pointing 
to OSI's transport layer.

I have been reading through FCP "Flow Control Platform" of Internap (Internet 
Provider.. white paper is available on the site) I was wondering if those 
written technologies are being implemented on all ISPs..

Nick, do you have similar technology being exercised in your company?

tia,
