I attended Networkers 2002 in San Diego and got the impression to look out for more IS-IS in the future. Specifically, Cisco is working to achieve feature parity between OSPF and IS-IS, plus comments were made in the Router Architecture Power Session that IS-IS is getting a stronger Enterprise following, especially in Europe.

Recognizing that things can always change, I'm wondering what might be the reason? Lack of customer interest? Recognition of IS-IS as a specialized protocol less suitable for normal "enterprise" type stuff?
