it probably depends on what you mean by "large". If you mean "the 5 largest"
then yes, most use ISIS (but not all). If you mean the 50 largest, then
OSPF becomes much more prominent (that is, hardly anyone but the largest
ISPs use ISIS, at least from my discussions with dozens at my previous
and current employer).
