It is obvious that with the explosion of the Internet that networks and
networking, in general, are moving to a more unified approach.  We are
seeing legacy protocols that could not stand the test of time give way and
die in the face of TCP/IP.  All of this is good news for CCIE's among
others.  The more things standardize on tried and true open standards, the
better off our jobs will be, not to mention the experience of the customers
we service.  Imagine a world with no Appletalk, IPX, SNA, LAT, etc.  Imagine
that there are a few base protocols like TCP/IP working in tandem with
Routing Protocols like OSPF and BGP.  I beleive that when that day arrives,
the CCIE should be a true expert in the pared down world wide standards that
emerge as the dominant players.  The less needless complexity that we need
to grapple with, the better we can become and hone our skills to the expert
level.  

Just my 2 cents

Subject: So what SHOULD a CCIE know?


We've all seen a number of comments about the CCIE written and the CCIE Lab,
regarding content. Most of those comments have been negative.

So, what SHOULD be tested? What SHOULD a CCIE know?

Anyone?
