Many of our customers are running it.
Appletalk is very slow to converge, often on the order of several minutes
in a simple lab network. A couple of tricks that you can do to speed it up
are to reload the router, or if you're only running RTMP to configure "no
appletalk routing" and then to configure "appletalk routing" again.
DANGER: When you configure "no appletalk routing", all of your configs
for RTMP and appletalk EIGRP will disappear. When you re-enable appletalk
the RTMP configs will return but the EIGRP configs are gone forever.
Don't foget that appletalk EIGRP differs from the other EIGRP protocols
in that the process identifier must be _different_ on each router that is
participating in the EIGRP network, exactly the opposite of IP and IPX
EIGRP.
