Re: OER/PfR at lab exam?

I found a good primer for this on ciscolivevirtual.com under 2009-2010
sessions BRKRST-2361 : An Introduction to Performance Routing.

 I uploaded slidedeck to
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6ODb-lpMS4fTEJTNUZmeFMzUEU

Another heads up about CiscoLive! It is worth checking
out registration options even if you can't attend. Many freebees right now.
If you live in the area and can make it for just a day, they are offering a
free conference pass to world of solutions, free certification exam, and
free subscription to ciscolivevirtual.com. Don't forget to stop by
Plantronics booth and check out innovations in unified communications end
points. Fully functional out of the box with all the largest vendors (sorry
for the plug).

Thanks again Brian. Overwhelming intrest in this topic. Your session will
equal audiences at a Metallica concert. We are looking forward to it!

Regards,

Marc
