I know at least two interesting studies of the stability of IGPs :


@inproceedings{infocom04MIBCD:2004,
  author	= {Markopoulou, A. and Iannaccone, G. and Bhattacharyya, S. and
Chuah, C. and Diot, C.},

}

@inproceedings{Shaikh_Case:2002,

Roughan and Joel Gottlieb},

 }

@inproceedings{Watson_OSPF:2003,

 title = {Experiences With Monitoring OSPF on a Regional Service
Provider Network},

 }

For those running a network with ISIS, we have developped a set of perl
scripts that allows to easily monitor the stability of the IGP inside
the network. We used it for several ISP networks, but haven't published
any results due to NDA issues. See
http://totem.info.ucl.ac.be/tools.html
for LISIS
