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.
