The main reason I prefer ISIS is that it uses CLNS packets for
communications and we don't route CLNS. (I don't think ANYONE is
routing CLNS today.) That makes it pretty secure.

Unless, of course, someone one hop away -- a peer?  a customer?  an
upstream or downstream? someone on the same LAN at certain exchange
points? -- sends you a CLNP packet at link level...
