Chuck, come on IS-IS is an "OPEN" standard. I am the total opposite to you
as to say I have no been without it in 2 companies that I have worked for.
As for when you should use it - to be honest I am hearing of more and more
businesses using it as people are starting to "think" that IS-IS is more
reliable than OSPF. It is less complicated and converges quicker than OSPF.
Of course it also has its downsides but it all comes down to where
everyone's skills set lie and at the moment it lies with OSPF. Me
personally LONG LIVE ISIS.

Subject: IS-IS use??
All,
I'm just curious as to when and why you'd use IS-IS rather than OSPF or
EIGRP? I've never seen IS-IS in any business I've worked with or for in the
6 years I've been doing this. Do any other router manufacturers support it?
Is it eventually going to go away?
Thanks,
Chuck Church
