One single IRP instance can now efficiently optimize traffic originating from multiple physical locations, in relatively close geographical proximity, distinguished by different routing domains. A single IRP instance collects statistics about traffic, probes available destinations and makes improvements towards specific prefixes/networks on the Internet.

Improvements Confirmation is a feature designed to address network variability over time. There are cases when performance metrics towards a destination degrade significantly for very short periods of time and subsequently return to normal. The Improvements Confirmation feature schedules a potential improvement for confirmation after a short period of time instead of immediately announcing it. This allows IRP to verify that a detected problem is short-lived and there is no need to perform the improvement. Only if IRP detects the same probing results during confirmation, will an improvement be considered relevant and be announced.
