I think it is really depending on how your network topology looks like. If you have top-down design with star topology to limit the network connections to individual routers, it may scale well. But if you connect every routers to each other such as full-mesh, it will be a problem during interface flapping or something like that.

Far as I know worked just fine though, no issues reported. How well your IGP scales depends a lot more on what you put in it, and how dynamic your network situation is than the protocol or number of devices. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
