Re: IS-IS on FRR - Is Anyone Running It?

[Jeremy Austin <jhaustin () gmail com>]

Mark,

I suggest you ask this directly on the FRR slack:

https://frrouting.slack.com/

I’m also interested to know who’s been trying FRR IS-IS in the wild. At
last check your former guess seemed to be correct and it wasn’t under
active development.

Regards
Jeremy Austin
