All,
If I can share my $.002 in this discussion:
I am very far from saying that you need to compile in your brain
ASN.1 specification of protocol to understand how it works,
or, even more, how to use it to solve problems meant to be solved,
But....
Sometimes it is simpler to look up how LSA are exchanged in OSPF,
or when exactly BGP speaker says "withdraw", or etc, etc, etc...
Probably, this can be partially explained by fact that it is not
very common to have a technical text written as clearly as in
Howard's books. That's why, sometimes, to find ultimate clarification
about some protocol behaviour, I like to see it in Ethereal :-)
Even if this is beyond scope of CCIE exam....
Just my $.002
