djane, I am kind of believing the article is written on behalf of cisco's competetors, the likes of BAY and ANSD. I've been using all kinds of cisco routers for years. cisco's IOS supports all the standard routing protocols such as OSPF, RIP, RIP2, BGP(4) and so forth, in addition to its proprietary protocols EIGRP and IGRP. But I have to admit that configuring EIGRP is much easier than any other standard protocols and it has faster convergence, multiple path and load-sharing, and it combines the advantage of both vector-based (IGRP and RIP) and link state based (OSPF) routing protocols and it's superior over OSPF, IMO. Converting from EIGRP to OSPF would be a nightmare, because too many factors need to be considered and much more complicated configuration tasks have to be done with OSPF. The reason that most enterprise choose IGRP/EIGRP over OSPF is obvious, and that is why it is called "de facto industry standard". Regards SL
