Re: Core technology definition / more switching

Hey man!
Keep in mind that Maurillio specifically went on the record during the
meeting with the 360 folks as saying that the newer topics such as PFR, MPLS
L3 VPN, etc will be minimal. I think your core focus should still be on
your main routing and switching protocols such as OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, RIPv2,
STP and its variants, VTP, etc.

I'm not saying to not focus on those at all -- Obviously it is all
important, but I don't think the core stuff has really changed all that
much.
