Prabhu -- a particluar implementation does not matter when the underlying idea is bad. Any circuit routing for data is broken-as-designed. (BTW, the irrelevance of the particulars is why i omitted attribution in the first place. This was a comment on the general state of affairs, not on the situation. Thanks for providing details, though). --vadim

Vadim,
Your response is unrelated to the message I replied to, which asked about the link state algorithm that Cascade uses.
As far as I know, nobody has announced which set of MCI Wordlcom's switches were responsible for their outage. Since MCI Worldcom uses multiple types in their network, statements like "goes as predicted - complexity bites" is irresponsible at best, even if it is later determined the Cascade switches were actually the cause of the outage.
