Hi All,

I hope this mail is appropriate for the charter of Nanog.
Pardon me if it is not.

Could someone comment on:

Normally, is there is a need to run both IS-IS and OSPF
on the same interface on a router? How does the vendors
today support this?

Thanks a million,

I can't see any reason to run both. They are both IGP's, and you really
only need one, actually running two gives you nothing but trouble.

So pick one, both has advantages, we picked ISIS because of the ability
to have larger areas, and the ability to increase the update timers.
