	This is crucial. While IS-IS, certainly, has some advantages over OSPF, 
it is not supported on most of the lower-end routers and, more 
importantly, on smaller Catalysts (3550, 3560, 3750), making it rather 
unusable without some messy redistribution.

	All that taken into account, unless you really have the backbone in 
which OSPF could become painful, it's very good choice. If you learn to 
live with its peculiarities, you may even end-up loving it :-)
