Re: OSPF vs ISIS - Which do you prefer & why?

I have not kept up with all of the feature differences between Cisco's
implementation and the other vendors. I can only encourage others
interested in this to compare the specific feature sets between the
two and see if it meets their needs. What I need in an environment
from an IGP may be totally different from another data center,
transport, or transit network provider.

If I were a vendor or one of the other I would likely have a list of
what I do support, or what my competition does not support.

Type IS-IS in the box

Feature set will vary between JunOS releases.

Josh,

you made two statements:

        1. Juniper was "not getting it" and
        2. "they miss many of the IS-IS features Cisco has".

Could you provide details on these "many" features that Junos is
missing?  Linking to Juniper's feature explorer is hand-waving, and does
not answer the question.
