Vadim,
Your response is unrelated to the message I replied to, which
asked about the link state algorithm that Cascade uses.
As far as I know, nobody has announced which set of MCI Wordlcom's
switches were responsible for their outage. Since MCI Worldcom
uses multiple types in their network, statements like "goes as
predicted - complexity bites" is irresponsible at best, even if it
is later determined the Cascade switches were actually the cause
of the outage.
