RE: DVMRP Testing?

It's always good to have enough wiggle-room to be able to do that. :)

On a side note, IMHO, DVMRP, even though on the blueprint won't play any
major part in the lab. Every once and a while, Cisco keeps telling everyone
that they are trying to embrace technologies that people really use, and
since the Mbone (who used DVMRP and decided it was a dumb idea) has been
officially dead for several years now, I don't see it being embraced.

Obviously that's my opinion on things, but I certainly hope that would be
the case!

On a related issue, there's an Ask-the-Expert for R&S going on at Cisco's
NetPro forums, so go ask Maurillio whether it'll really be used or not!

HTH,

LOL.

My strategy if I come across DVMRP in the lab is to skip it and kiss those
points goodbye...
