Randy is correct. In most cases, the two protocols are running co-incident for a while so you can do your table validation and topology mapping and then you turn off OSPF. For vendors that aren't capable of supporting ISIS, this is a feature and not a bug. On Sun, May 12, 2013 at 1:57 AM, Randy

Folks could, at least theoretically, use ISIS or OSPF multi instance/multi topology extensions to support IPv4 and IPv6 topologies. This way they would only need to run a single protocol and thereby requiring expertise in handling only one protocol. and, as is-is supports 4 and 6, why do you

One scenario that i can think of when somebody might run the 2 protocols ISIS and OSPF together for a brief period is when the admin is migrating from one IGP to the other. This, i understand never happens in steady state. The only time this can happen is if an AS gets merged into another AS

Glen, One transition scenario you noted below is often a use case. I have seen networks move from OSPF to IS-IS (more cases then the reverse). In those cases, the overlap period may not be very short (years vs. weeks/months). I have also seen some use one protocol (which I think was mentioned
