Re: what is the fundamental difference between OSPF and IS-IS?

Felix,

it is publicly available, but as far as I can tell, you will need an IEEE
subscription in order to download it, from IEEE Xplore at least.

Those who have the necessary IEEE subscription can go to:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org

Failing this, I'd expect to find a hard copy at a university library.

cheers,
Arthur
