the trick is to filter out information which changes each time  
(version numbers, routes received numbers (you probably dont want  
these?)).

have a look at the article from this list called "IGP routing tables  
diff" by David LaPorte from 10 October 2005.  the code in that post  
will probably assist in the changes you need to add the commands and  
parse the output.
