Tim,
There's not explanation about "unicast" keyword under ISIS section. However,
under MBGP, there's small part toward the end of the first paragraph that
explain it. Follow the link for the details.
I like your idea, but it seems so difficult as everyone knows, Cisco kinda
dominate the router market.
