... not to mention that fact that IS-IS is, IMHO, a much nicer IGP to work with.
WRT that last sentence, that is an almost religious debate I was trying to avoid starting ... :)
Well IMHO it's a very important point to consider. This is a great chance to switch your IGP, if you've ever wanted to. You *need* to
And that is what I tell people too - if you are looking to change (in either direction (or others!), mind you), this could be an excuse / opportunity.
deploy a new one anyways, so it's a great opportunity to see if you can simplify your network by migrating. Especially as OSPFv3 *isnt* the same as OSPFv2, so you will have to learn new things either way!
Well from a pragmatic/operational perspective OSPFv3 and OSPFv2 are "close enough" that you would require _very_ little re-training.
Oh, and I *am* in the process of organising a Crusade to wipe out those heretical OSPF supporters once and for all... ;)
Funny, that is how most ISIS proponents seem to feel - but without the smiley! /TJ
