The fact that your CCIE friend can't remember everything off the top of
his head, does not make him a bad CCIE or network engineer. This field is
very broad and the amount of knowledge you are required to acquire to take
the CCIE is quite significant. The fact is, if you don't do frame relay
regularly, you aren't going to remember all of the details regarding that
technology. The same applies to DLSW, token ring, EIGRP (old or new
technologies) and whatever else you can think of. The hope is that a CCIE
level individual, will be able to quickly resolve real life situations
quickly, by knowing where to find the CORRECT answers and understanding
the technologies involved in order to implement the solutions.

Now, as far as Frame Relay resources go, I would I hardly believe there is
a need for an entire book on this topic. There are many technical
documents on this topic on Cisco's web site and in the Group Study
archives. If you have some specific questions, you should go ahead and
post them here and I'm sure you will get your questions answered.

Re: Frame Relay book recommendation

Hi,

Before reading Caslow's book, I felt the same way as yourself. While he
doesn't cover everything there is to know about F/R, if you know
everything
about F/R that's in that book, you'll be well on your way. Jim
