I may be starting a new project doing some writing about technologies used in enterprise networks. (read not service provider) Do I need to cover IS-IS? Or is it mainly ISPs that use this? How about MPLS? I should discuss it briefly, but aren't the main users of MPLS ISPs, not enterprise networks

I'd focus on Avvid technologies, centraly managed security and storage solutions across nation-wide networks and public Internet (Cisco Works/ACS), and on-line collaboration tools using open standards like LDAP, X.509, h.323/SIP, etc. That is where Enterprises are moving. ""Priscilla Oppenheimer

Priscilla, To decide on whether ISIS and MPLS are relevant to enterprises, I believe you have to look more deeply into the enterprise's structure and internal competencies. There are a substantial number of Fortune 100 companies, universities, etc., that consciously organize an "internal ISP"
