People were nice to point out that my memory does function correctly,
but I did receive a single suggestion to spark the fire back to life in
my brain. The suggestion was ISIS for infrastructure only, and iBGP for
carrying all customer routes, which will lower the ISIS costs during a
state change and give aggregation abilities at any level (useful for
IPv4 primarily while we finish up adding IPv6).
Thanks for the help. Life slowly returns to normal in Lone Grove, OK,
but it's amazing how much a tornado takes out of you; even when it
doesn't take your IP network down.

In a level2 only ISIS network (not using multiple areas due to MPLS
limitations), is there a better method for handling aggregate routes
than creating an aggregate and redistributing it into ISIS for each
router? Primarily Cisco/Juniper based. Cisco I believe has an aggregate
option in ISIS (similar to OSPF) and Juniper has a separate aggregate
function which can be distributed into ISIS. Neither can do
summarization per say unless they cross between levels; unless I'm
mistaken.
Offlist input is fine. Just trying to double check my brain while
setting up IPv6 on the access edges.
Link state does have it's limitations. ;)
