I don't know that I would only be studying TCP/IP. There are enough other
technologies
on the lab that you will get burned if you don't have a understanding and
practiced with them.
Maybe the lab is majority (TCP/IP) but I'm not sure this is the case. And
even if it
is I don't think it would be enough to pass.
