Service Provider Network design and deployment is one of the most mysterious parts of Networking. Usually we don't see real life SP network design and deployment discussions.
Fast Convergence and Network Stability is required in the Service Provider Networks.
Specifically it is more important in the Core/Backbone Networks, compared to other places such as Aggregation or Access Networks.
I discussed these topics with Mohamed Radwan, along with many other important considerations in the Service Provider Networks.
