Uh......... I quote:
Cisco is the only "real" IS-IS vendor.
Juniper, Brocade, Arista, Avaya, etc you're not getting it. Any of the whitebox hardware or real SDN capable solutions, you're going to be on OSPF.
Care to elaborate on any of those commercial vendors? -- Tim On Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 7:04 PM, Josh Reynolds <josh@kyneticwifi.com> wrote:
So, we need to narrow the discussion now to only commercial solutions?
This is fun and all (not really) but you can have your thread.
Congrats, you win. I'm not sure what.

Here's a start!
"Support for OSPFv3 and IS-IS is various beta states currently; IS-IS for IPv4 is believed to be usable while OSPFv3 and IS-IS for IPv6 have known issues."

Maybe you didn't look hard enough?
ISIS feature support in a bunch of different products has sucked for a long time vs OSPF, but that's a pretty well known and accepted fact. Generally these features are the same across multiple products from the same vendor (usually across the same OS anyway)...
Just name 1 feature that was in Cisco and wasn't in other implementations........... Just one.. Something.. Does ISIS on IOS make and hand out ice cream on Fridays? I want to know if I'm missing out..

My first post said the following:
"Vendor support for IS-IS is quite limited - many options for OSPF."
