Unless you want your customers to have very substantial control over your internal network, don't use an SPF IGP like ospf or is-is. with your customer ^ i know that's what you meant, but i thought it worth making it very explicit. practice safe

Thanks again for all of the replies on and off list. As I stated earlier, I didn't not think IGP was the protocol of choice for running to customers, i've just been to many different houses that do actually do this. 99% of all of our customer CPE is not managed by the customer, so that leaves it

Am I alone in my view that BGP is _far_ more simple and straight-forward than OSPF this is a very telling statement in a number of ways. that ospf has become exceedingly complex, and all that results thereof. that both are known for their complexity. randy
