I was wondering if I could talk with someone who has recently implemented
IS-IS. I'm attempting to move a small NSP away from static routing and
based on their topology - OSPF would have to be configured all in Area 0.
Since the technology provided by this NSP to their customers will include
multicast services (video specifically), I thought that I should consider
IS-IS while the slate is relatively clean.
If there is someone who has implemented this routing on their network that
I could ask a few questions of (practical experience), I would appreciate it.

KISS - keep things as simple as possible... OSPF is an open protocol, and
it's very simple in case if you have not 500 routers and 1000 flapping
routes in the network - what do you searching the headache for?
Multicast routing depends more from the options you have from the
hardware vendor - choose the simplest and more standard method and turn
it on...
PS. From my lectures to the students, quote:
So Jack, after all this rant did you get any good advice about IS-IS 
There were a handful of helpful folks who asked about what I was trying to
do before they showered me with advice. (Advice mainly about how OSPF is
the way to go). To those who actually read my question and discussed their
experiences actually installing IS-IS - I am very thankful.
Some useful discussion come out of the thread though. I hope those who
didn't participate came away with some insight.
