Shortest Path Bridging (Extreme/Avaya Fabric Connect)

I just watched some deep dives into the protocol and how it works and it made me wonder the following.

Has anyone seen it deployed in large infrastructures? Especially in a network that extends over a large geographical area (WANs)? How is it working out? Any pitfalls?

I understand that it was designed for carriers, but it seems to be mostly used for campus networks. I wonder how it handles big latency for example.

I have zero experience with it, but from the technical deep-dives I just watched, it looks to be a really good protocol.
