Re: [c-nsp] EIGRP reality check
Actually, I would have entertained equal cost even without the unequal variance options, but the latter would be even better. To answer some other questions others have asked... back to the original diagram... +--A-\ | | \ | B---D | | / +--C-/ These are layer-2 paths. We have a rather unusual network topology that would take too long to explain without sounding like a raving lunatic :) Which still may be the case, but doesn't help :) There are three layer-3 backbone rings in play here... A-B-C-D is on one common /22 subnet. B-D-others are on another. And C-D-others are on a third. From the perspective of D there are three paths to B, each one layer-3 hop away (same /22 subnet). Each of the three somehow works out to equivalent EIGRP paths in topology... despite A-D and B-D being 10G and D-C and C-A being gigabit channels. This I suspect is due to not using wide EIGRP metrics. These are all Catalysts (6500 at A, various 3750 models at B-C-D) so nothing new and bleeding edge here.

I'll admit my EIGRP skills here suck a little; well, a lot, sorry :-). Maybe Gert or other Cisco EIGRP experts lurking can help.

Re: [c-nsp] MPLS-TP on CPT platform vs IP/MPLS core on ASR with TE

IPoDWDM's issues were less about its technology: - Several DWDM vendors didn't (and hardly, today,) support alien wavelengths. Those that did supported it only for the line side, so port density was poor. - IPoDWDM only made sense if you owned both the Transmission and IP networks. Trying to lease a colored wave from a telco doesn't generally go down well, in most parts. - There is a real concern when IP and Optical teams need to give up their network to one another. GMPLS visibility into either domain was meant to solve this, but people are protective of their jobs. This is all coming back now under the SDN (yuck!) guise, so we'll see. Cisco are pushing this hard on the NCS, as are Juniper on the PTX (particularly after all the work Juniper and Adva have done in incorporating optics on their router).
