how much resources does this feature use? Also, is there anyway we can limit the historical data so it doesn't get out of hand?

How does Netpath determine the path AND determine delays, especially for network elements that you have zero control over? I ask since I want to know that detail on how you discover, as well as how to determine, where errors occur on the transit, not the control plane.

How does it handle firewalls? Again, how does it handle network security policies you have zero control over, that includes internal policies where your Security groups have more power than god and want everyone to know it (which is common for medium and large enterprises).

What is the scaling of this product? How many probes at what intervals from a server and can you federate and have reporting back to a single controller/pane of glass.

Can you add additional information, preferably from some config file, to add to network elements (including ISP's, etc) so when you click or hover over the element, that information is available; that would be cool.

Doesn't work on the "fully functional" 30 days trial. I can test out almost all other features except this.
