In my dreams I see a world wide network of hassle free devices. Plug it
in,
it self configures, and life is good.
Won't happen in my lifetime. Folks under 30 may see the beginnings of it
in
their lifetimes.
Those hassle free protocols will not be ospf, I'm pretty sure :->
Microsoft has run IP forwarding for quite some time in the NT boxes.
That
was RIP. I am guessing that Microsoft just wanted to provide an easy way
to
expand a network by adding a second segment. Anything built around NT is
a
hack, in my opinion. With all the issues about the ease of compromise of
NT
boxes ( let alone unix or linux boxes ) I would not want to place
anything
but a real router in a critical position in my network.
Just my opinion.

I would bet that it doesn't as well, but then again, all previous
releases of Windows didn't have any Microsoft developeed product in the
OS that performed routing protocols right? Has anyone yet looked at the
OSPF implementation in Win2000? Is it at all Microsoft-ized for the
average admin so they can design OSPF networks "hassle-free"?
