Re: ISIS and OSPF together

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 (due to mergers and acquisitions) and the two ASes happen to run ISIS
and OSPF respectively. In such instances, there is a brief period when two
protocols might run together before one gets turned off and there is only
one left.

no.  some ops come to see the light and move their network from ospf to
is-is.  see vijay gill's nanog preso
