Randy, would you like to explain to us what your criteria are ?
How many routers, links, prefixes should one be able to put in one IGP ?
How many in one area ?
How much dynamics should an IGP be able to endure ?
How much optimal routing are you willing to give up by using summaries
to improve scalability ?
Do you think it is acceptable to tune the IGP by user configuration (like
laying out areas), or should the IGP be full-automatic ?
Thanks in advance,
Henk.
