Mate Csaba's message had nothing to do with MikroTik RouterOS (from Latvia,
which doesn't include IS-IS support). And Mikrotik RouterOS isn't free. ;-)

Why was this response about RouterOS?  (Am I missing something?)

The posted presentations/slides touch upon the feature set of FreeRtr
(which is similiar to MT RouterOS, but which many production-ready Network
OSes have).
