Hey Kasper,

Studying for SP I'd suggest studying for all of the sets of topics you
mentioned, rather than just the first ones. Getting you Layer 2 protocols up
and running be extremely important in your SP lab for without them you will
probably not have a chance at passing. The SP lab is heavily dependent on
having each layer (Layer 2, IGP, BGP, MPLS, MPLS TE, AToM) working in order
to get the subsequent layer to work.

Cheers,

I'm doing SP and i would rather spend my time on AToM variations or QoS
tricks than ATM and PPPoE.
