Yahoo. I've no precision, and it's really interest me.
I know that there had OSPF in the DC area, and ISIS in the core, and decide
to switch the core from ISIS to OSPF.

Wait, what?
*checks memory*
*checks routers*

Nope.  Definitely went the other way; OSPF -> IS-IS in the core.

Why spend so much time/risk to switch from ISIS to OSPF, _in the core_ a not
so minor impact/task ?
So I could guess it's for maintain only one IGP and have standardized
config. But why OSPF against ISIS ? What could be the drivers? People skills
(more people know OSPF than ISIS) --> operational reason ?

I'm sorry you received the wrong information,
the migration was from OSPF to IS-IS, not
the other way around.

Thanks!

Matt
