Not necessarily :-)

 1. what is your backbone's IGP protocol?

IS-IS

 2. why you choose it?

OSPFv3 was quite flaky (could have been OS bugs), and there wasn’t v4 support until rfc5838, so migrated to IS-IS when 
deploying v6 (with Philip Smith’s help).

But preferred multi topology to allow for incremental v6 deployment (without affecting v4).
