Because I have an ISP background, I know only two alternatives for a
very large network: OSPF and IS-IS. In my opinion, both are
equivalent in terms of scalability. Obviously, OSPF is more familiar
to most network engineers and this is the big plus. However, IS-IS is
my favourite because it is easier to configure (you do not need areas
even in large deployments), it is harder to spoof or attack, and I
found better tricks to tweak convergence (like the exponential
back-off - which was first available for IS-IS).
Of course, you may found comprehensive comparisons on the Internet.
