"More protocols" means "more interoperability testing" and "more combinations
of vendor products that suddenly do not interoperate, even if they should".
So I'd keep the list of supported protocols as small as possible - and stick
to IP protocols. ISIS is great for ISP environments, but does not nicely
adapt to a unix environment where the kernel has no idea about ISO/OSI
protocols and you have to do everything via raw sockets. Which would be
a fairly typical environment for a CPE router.
