Let me just start by saying that we are using PNNI in networks of close to 100
nodes (Light-stream 1010) running single level PNNI with no problem at all.
Customers are happy with the product and the feedbacks that we are getting
regarding Cisco's PNNI are great!

Cisco was the first to ship single level PNNI and the first to ship PNNI
that supports full hierarchy.

We have many customers running big networks (50+) and have no issues with
that.

I'm working in the PNNI development group for the last 3+ years and will be happy
to help you with specific questions. 

Good luck,
Yehuda.
