Uh, what? So the benefit of ISIS (over ISO/OSI transport) in the home would
be "you can have IPv4 in your homenet, without having IPv6"?
No, that's not what I said and not what I intended.
You can do topology and router discovery without needing IPv4 or IPv6
running if you use ISIS.
Then it was quite clear: I can't see a point in doing protocol work to
solve something in a fashion that would be very very very similar to an
already-existing protocol that has mature implementations.
And what protocol are you referring to? Babel? OSPFv3? RIPv2? I can guess
you're referring to OSPFv3 since you're now saying "similar" (which wasn't
in your earlier email), but I don't understand why you feel the need for
irony and need the reader to guess instead of just saying what you mean.
