A few years ago a bunch of people wore T-shirts to an IETF meeting that
said, "IS-IS=0." They did this to bug Radia Perlman. &;-) It didn't work.
These days the IETF seems to do a lot of work on both IS-IS and OSPF. For a
while it looked like we could get by without knowing IS-IS. I don't think
that's true anymore. The pendulum has swung back in its favor.
