Hi all:
	there is another reason for selecting the IS-IS as IGP routing
protocol is the interconnection between the cisco and juniper router for
MPLS TE,if you select singel vendor in your network, both IS-IS and OSPF
should work, but if you want to use both juniper and cisco in the same
network for MPLS TE, then you must select the IS-IS .

Agreed.  From a cisco perspective, both IS-IS and OSPF are fully
supported.  Use the one you're familiar with, or whichever one fits
your needs.
