Speaking as an operator: yes Different (parts of) network use different IGPs, different architectures (leaf/spine, clos, core/edge/distribution/access, STP, MLAG, VXLAN, EVPN, VPLS, L2VPN Martini or Kompella) etc etc etc. There is no "one solution fits all", and there are many things besides the feature set that determine what an operator will use. And some technologies will become obsolete, and the networks move on. But as an operator I want to choose. I don't want my vendors or the IETF to choose for me. Cheers, Sander
