How's V6 on EIGRP? (I know little about EIGRP, does it need a new
version for V6 like OSPF? Does it exist?) Not having to dual IGP for V6
is one of the main plus points of ISIS imo.
We do ISIS for loopbacks/router links and BGP for all other prefixes.
Sadly the ISIS does lock us out of using some hardware properly (like
the 3750).
