Parden this inappropriate message to the ISODE list, but I thought that
the answer to mpd1's question may be of interest to other ISODE list
subscribers.

There is not an implementation of dip 10589 in ISODE. However, the Unversity
of Wisconsin has a publically available implementation of DP 10589
integrated with a version of gated. I have included the announcement
of this software below. 


                  A N N O U N C E M E N T


     We are pleased to announce the initial  release  of  an
     implementation  of  the  ISO IS-IS Intra-Domain Routing
     Protocol (ISO DP  10589)  with  extensions  to  support
     routing in TCP/IP and dual environments (RFC 1195).

     This release will be known as

                      Wisconsin Dual IS-IS
                           Version 1.0
                             (alpha)

     or "WISIS".  WISIS is integrated into the gated routing
     demon  from  Cornell  University.  WISIS  can be run in
     either "simulated" or "real" mode. When  run  in  simu-
     lated  mode,  IS-IS  routing  packets  are  sent  to  a
     network-link simulator. The simulated mode  allows  one
     to  test  different  topologies  without  real hardware
     links. Release 1.0 has been run in simulated mode on  a
     DecStation  running Ultrix 3.1 and on a Vax running 4.3
     Reno.

     When run in real mode, routing packets  are  sent  over
     real  links.   This  mode requires OSI support from the
     operating system that is available under  Berkeley  4.3
     Reno.

     Currently, three releases of  WISIS  are  planned.  The
     initial  release,  1.0 (alpha) is available today. This
     release includes the functionality of most of DP  10589
     with  extensions  for  dual  environments. However, the
     initial release has not been tested  nor  tuned  exten-
     sively. In addition, release 1.0 is based upon an older
     release of Gated (2.0).  Release 1.0 is made  available
     primarily  as a courtesy to those who are interested in
     studying the implementation and testing the  simulation
     mode.

     The second release  2.0  (beta)  will  occur  within  2
     months of the initial release. This release may include
     bug fixes and  minor  enhancements.  Release  2.0  will
     interoperate with at least one other implementation.

     The third release of WISIS will be integrated with  the
     latest version of Gated.

     If you are interested in obtaining a copy of WISIS  1.0
     (alpha),  please  send  a  short message including your
     name, company, e-mail address and reason  for  interest
     in WISIS to
