Thanks to everyone who offered advice and links to resources. The information I've gathered with your help will greatly assist me moving forward, regardless of our decision on which protocol to use. Regards, Daniel

Hi Daniel, We wrote a draft some time back comparing the two protocols ISIS and OSPF. It should address some of your doubts and concerns. Here's a pointer to my local copy: http://geocities.com/mnvbhatia/draft-bhatia-manral-diff-isis-ospf-00.txt Thanks, Manav !> -Original Message- !>

It is a dangerous thing when, in the course of engineering, you have a solution looking for a problem, instead of a problem looking for a solution. I'd say that the biggest benefit in using IS-IS over OSPF is the tuning of route metrics, but aside from that, I'd say that the two routing protocol

We're currently running OSPF. Believe me, I understand that switching IGP's is not a simple undertaking. There are several benefits that I'm looking at, some of which have already been mentioned in replies to my original thread. Security is one, the other being IPv6 support. I'm going to have to t
