Hi Huaimo,

Certainly in lab scenarios they may be very willing. It all depends on their motivation to achieve improvements. It should be remembered that we are where we are today because some people were willing to work towards better technology and understood that there would be issues while we worked out issues with implementations. All protocols, features, and implementations have growing pains. We are where we are because we work through them. > After an algorithm is determined/selected, will it be changed to another > algorithm in a short time? Possibly. Someone may have an insight that produces theoretical breakthrough and gives us a completely different algorithm. Or, more likely, someone discovers a catastrophic bug in an algorithm and moves to fix it. > In some existing networks, some nodes run IGPs from one vendor, some other > nodes run IGPs from another vendor, and so on.

I’m unaware of anyone trying to get EIGRP to interoperate with IS-IS at the protocol level. ;-) I’m also unaware of anyone trying to implement anything other than SPF. And that’s what I think you’re proposing… Tony _______________________________________________ Lsr mailing list Lsr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr
