Re: OER/PfR at lab exam?

Narbik,

How much do you cover it? From what I have seen no vendor covers it well
enough (I have not seen your material on the subject). They seem to just
show you how to configure a master and some border routers, not much on
using different techniques of controlling traffic, teaching the difference
between active probes, passive probes. What makes traffic in/out of policy.
etc.

The general consensus I have seen is "It's such a broad topic we couldn't
possibly teach you everything so Cisco probably wont test you very deep on
it." Well I don't think Cisco agrees with that second part. To me this
topic is the poorest covered of any on the blueprint.
