The use of ISIS shouldn't lead folks to believe that OSPF doesn't scale well

  Perhaps I'm forgetting something... Doesn't OSPF have a "glass
ceiling"..

Kind of like the current mboned issue's ?

  Routes, * states, * interfaces |  macs, * changes...... != scalable...

   Perhaps I am wrong.....   Anyone care to clarify ? 

   Or, should we limit our scope of the term "scalable"...
   In which case, OSPF is dynamite.....


   Just a thought... or warning...
