And how many "typical" enterprise customers are running MPLS? Hell, how
many enterprise customers period are running it? A handful, which is
hard to see it as being a "core IP skill" in the typical environment.
For a service provider, or very large network, I think you are
definitely correct! For the R&S lab though...
I think there is enough other major topics to be concerned about and
test people on. MPLS is not a topic that you just throw a few points in
and see what you can do. It's something you either completely integrate
into the lab scenario or you don't.
While solely my opinion, I do not believe that MPLS will make it onto
the R&S Lab exam. It's busy enough in C&S lab.

well if indeed MPLS is present in the written but NOT in the LAB, how
long can we realistically imagine before MPLS is tested within RS LAB
environment ? MPLS is regarded amongst many experts as core IP skill and
It is inevitable that it will be tested upon in RS(lab) sooner rather
than later.

Of course if you meant that MPLS was on your written, them please ignore
that last mail I sent.

It was on mine, got hammered on it. A good 10 questions that made my

If it's any consolation, MPLS is not on the R&S exam... I would suggest
picking up some of the Cisco Press books for general theory on MPLS.
Otherwise for the 20,000 foot view, MPLS is Frame Relay on steroids. :)
Same general (VERY general) concepts.

Well, the idea being, that at some point everybody was a dummy before
they became an expert. I have absolutely no undetstanding of MPLS,
hence, I asked for links to learn about it. I can tell you this, even
Jimi Hendrix sucked the first time he picked up a guitar.
I interpret dumb as not being well-versed in a subject, whereas an idiot
would be incapable of learning. So I would rather be dumb than an idiot
any day of the week.

MPLS and dummies should never be used on the same page, let alone the
same infrastructure. Why is there a notion in the IT field that anybody
including "dummies" can be an "expert" and make a lot of money? Just a
thought.

Can someone provide me with a few links to MPLS case studies and/or
examples for cisco networks. A "MPLS for dummies" would be nice.
