KISS - keep things as simple as possible... OSPF is an open protocol, and
it's very simple in case if you have not 500 routers and 1000 flapping
routes in the network - what do you searching the headache for?
Multicast routing depends more from the options you have from the
hardware vendor - choose the simplest and more standard method and turn
it on...
PS. From my lectures to the students, quote:
---
The most complex routing method is STATIC - it's easy to implement (for
the HW vendor) but most difficult to configure.
The simplest routing is just dynamic routing in the plain schema (for
example, 'router ospf 1/network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 - just 2 lines
for the CISCO, compare to the static' - may be it can argue someone do
not use the static at all -:)
