In the words of Iljitsch van Beijnum's book "BGP", which I was reading
over Easter (I know, I'm a sad person):
"If you are implementing a large-scale IP network or have unusual
requirements, you should definitely read up on all the protocols so you
can make an informed decision. However, most small-to-medium sized
networks running just IP should go ahead and select OSPF: it does the
job, doesn't have any huge disadvantages, and is readily available."
