Hello,
I would like to implement IS-IS as a part of my master thesis. Are there any apparent problems which would prevent successful implementation, political and/or technical?
Also I would like to hear opinions of the authors.
As nobody bothered to answer - YES PLEASE ! A lot of Tier-X Carriers today use IS-IS as the IGP as it has nice integration of v4 and v6. Though it'll be interesting how you thought about solving the OSI CLNS/CLNP thing. Bringing a minimal socket support into the kernel or implementing it in userspace/bird? Another thing is that bird currently either supports v4 or v6 depending on compile options - which looses the ability of doing single topology IS-IS with bird. Flo -- Florian Lohoff f@zz.de
