How many people out there can remember the 802.x standards? and how many can
remember what the deep details at the frame/packet/bit level?! Remember you
are expected to answer, because you're a CCIE right! ;-)

I got several interviews some of which they ask VERY excellent technical
questions which refreshes the rusty memory. Others confirm, "you're a CCIE
right?" can you tell me what the private IP address ranges?! that one makes
you really say "damn!" :)
