I believe this is because you need 802.3 (as opposed to EthernetII) and rudimentary CLNS implementation, both which are very annoying from programmer point of view. I hope ISIS would migrate to EthernetII and IP. From security point of view, people often state how it's better that it's not IP, but in reality, how many have verified the flip side of this proposal, how easy it is to protect yourself from ISIS attack from connected host? For some platforms the answer is, there is absolutely no way, and any connected host can bring you down with trivial amount of data. -- ++ytti
