Sorry, I wasn't implying that that was all you needed to know. I was
suggesting to use that as a 'litmus test', to know if you're ready. Of
course there's much more to know.

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.
