All kidding aside, this *is* one of the really enjoyable aspects of working on IS-IS over the years. I don't think it was so much the speed of the IETF, but the sheer feature velocity the protocol and the actual industry users allowed for. The people who actually deployed IS-IS in their networks were very clueful and often worked directly with the vendors on the implementation and deployments and they both attended IETF and participated in the isiswg.

It made for quick work, that.

Thanks,
Chris.
