Please see below.......... Excerpted from Cisco MPLS Software Configuration Guide Rev 9.3.10................ IS-IS has somewhat better performance than OSPF in full mesh conditions because IS-IS has more sophisticated flooding capabilities (these capabilities, specifically the ability to pace flooding and block flooding on some interfaces, are also becoming available on OSPF).

Use the one you're familiar with, or whichever one fits your needs. eric ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml
