I seem to get the impression that isis is preferred in the core. Any
reasons why folks dont prefer to go with ospf?

i know that's what you meant, but i thought it worth making it very

practice safe routing, do not share blood with customer.

is-is in core with ibgp, and well-filtered ebgp (and packet filters a la
