Dear Ivan, just wanted to reach out and say thanks for the discussion the other day through ExpertExpress. Your ability to assess the current situation, propose a number of possibilities and then do an in-depth examination of the actual packet flow within each possible solution, all within the 90 minutes, is invaluable. This really speaks to your absolute incredible understanding of technology and its behavior in various scenarios. These discussions have already assisted in pointing us in the right direction and will be pertinent in determining the final architecture.

When is ExpertExpress not the right choice?

ExpertExpress is a flexible cost-optimized service. Please don't expect to use it for time-critical or extensive engagements like lengthy documentation reviews, lab work, functional or performance tests or production network support.

While I was working at a small ISP I needed to come up with a complete redesign for the core IP network. Since the company was small with small engineering staff, most of the design and implementation fell on my shoulders. When I found out about Ivan's ExpertExpress, I was thrilled to be able to get advice and help from one of the giants in my field. It didn't take much convincing, if any, from management to get approval for the service. Fast-forward to the present and the network has been implemented and running great!
