> In my opinion, without a theoretical understanding, it is difficult to > provide adequate guidance to implementers. Since I'm in a chatty mood, I'll give another example. While both RFC 2328 and Moy's book are written in a very simple engineering style, there is some reasonably solid theory behind OSPF, which at least some OSPF specialists don't appear to fully appreciate. For example, the topological restrictions on area adjacency are pretty much the weakest conditions that avoid counting to infinity, and the extreme care given to the flooding subprotocol indicates a good understanding of the consequences of desynchronised LSDBs. I'm deeply convinced that there is no such thing as sound engineering without a solid theoretical base. -- Juliusz
