The CCIE Lab used to be like an oral exam. Two days, pretty much one-on-one with two proctors. There were four guys in the facility when I took the lab, and I didn't see them at all other than the 30 minute orientation to the lab and for an hour at supper (supervised by the proctors). I understand it has shrunk significantly now. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com
