It may be built for enterprises, but that doesn't mean it's not very 
useful for SPs too. They're quite nice low-budget layer 3 datacentre 
aggregation devices if you don't need too many high-touch features.

I always assumed that the 3750/3560 didn't do IS-IS because Cisco didnt' 
want to engineer CLNS support into the ASICs used in them?

Seems a bit odd to me, even more so that I guess in the next few years 
we'll have significantly more people using IS-IS to make IPv6 nicer to 
deal with?
