What routing protocols do people use on their networks? Particularly inside.
Does anyone in the world actually use IS-IS ?
I am not interested in what network runs what, just how many networks run various protocols.
Rough idea of network size would be nice, and any partcular reasons you prefer one to the other.

AOL's transport network runs IS-IS (there was a presentation about their transition from OSPF at a semi-recent NANOG). MFN/AboveNet did a similar transition while I was there. We run IS-IS as our IGP in our home network (AS 3557), although we still use OSPF in local-scope anycast clusters since it's more straightforward to find ways of supporting it on FreeBSD. Joe
