Brad,
I believe it is UUNet, although I'm not positive. It would be a
*mistake* to ignore IS-IS, I would want to know at least the basics about
it. IS-IS is making a comeback and more and more people are using it
now. It's still predominately used in Europe but we do get calls in the
U.S. on it as well. It may or may not be on the test right now, I have no
idea, but if it's making a comeback in the real world...
