EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary protocol, which does not meet the "open standard" requirement, despite its fast convergence.

Running OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 on the routers provides an open-standard solution that ensures high availability and fast convergence for both IPv4 (OSPFv2) and IPv6 (OSPFv3) traffic. This allows for network consolidation by supporting dual-stack environments effectively with a single routing protocol family.

Running ISIS and OSPFv3 means two different routing protocols would need to be managed, increasing complexity rather than consolidating networks efficiently, and ISIS is generally an IPv6 routing protocol primarily though it supports CLNP for IPv4 routing.

Both routers running OSPFv2 only provides routing for IPv4 traffic; it does not support IPv6, which is typically part of network consolidation and future-proofing.
