Inspired by The Zen of Python, Dinesh Dutt wrote The Zen of Routing Protocols:

---

Beautiful is better than ugly.

Simple is better than complex.

Complex is better than complicated.

So just because you can, don't.

One is better than many.

Unnumbered is better than numbered.

Readability counts.

Although practicality beats purity,

Automation should never be ignored.

An unused knob is sometimes better than a used.

Good enough network lasts longer than perfect.
