That's a pretty clever comparison indeed. I had a feeling it will come up
here and here you go :)

But I am afraid this is not comparing apple to apples.

In LSPs or LSA flooding you have a bunch of mechanisms to make sure the
information stays fresh
and does not time out. And the default refresh in ISIS if I recall was
something like 15 minutes ?

Can't you run OSPF over GRE ? For ISIS Henk had proposal not so long ago to
run it over TCP too.

Seems like a perfect fit !

Thx,
