<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">EIGRP is great for customers with a few sites with multiple media types – very easy to deal with MTU differences for their internal
IP space. About 6 months ago I moved our internal protocol to OSPF for multi-vendor support, the flexibly and control gain was the biggest win though. The pain was old Cisco 2800s that wouldn’t take an MTU above 1500.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If I could maintain multi-vendor support and use EIGRP as a PE-CE protocol I would for sure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Donnie Savage, author of the draft, happily spoke about it to me over email if others are interested. He had plenty of time to chat and discuss.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">And following the conversations, Donnie retweeted a friends post of OSPF vs EIGRP. Something worth reading -

<p class="MsoNormal">It would be interesting to see what everyone thinks. I personally see it as a vein attempt to regain lost ground.<br>
