I forgot about that specifically since we had multiple discussions, you,
Peter, others and different conclusions have been reached in time per
protocol. You're here to keep my distracted self honest ...

OK< with that I think ISIS is a no-action-necessary.

ah, ok, I see that that we're area-scope now as well. I know we had an
agreement before that it would be AS scope or something so that changed and
is consistent ...

IMO no action on OSPF necessary either, Toerless ... Sorry for my imperfect

cleaner. We limit ourselves and solve the problem in the general ISIS
