(continuing topposting for readability) Frankly having to know RFCs intimately sounds a bit over the top to me. I took the RHCE exam which is seen as one of the toughest exams in the industry and never had to study RFCs. I don't know any other exams that require you to do so (based on experience with Cisco, AIX, DB2, Novell and dare I say Microsoft training). Imagine having to study all relevant RFCs for RHCE. I would prolly have to start at 1 and end at whatever is the highest number :)
I would be interested to learn what the rationale is of having to know these RFCs. If the exam were aimed at certifiying someone as an advanced Asterisk developer like Olle than I can understand that. But what about the many people that "just" manage the system? Do they really need intimate knowledge of RFCs 2543, 3261, 1889, 2327 etc? If they do than I guess they should call their vendor. Good for business too :) Perhaps the certification could be split into Certified Asterisk Engineer and Certified Asterisk Developer or Certified Advanced Asterisk Engineer.
