Re: OER/PfR at lab exam?

Narbik,
I fail to see a valid (NDA) way you may have to be able to disagree.

OSPF, MPLS and PfR are topics, and it is up to cisco to weight them in
any given exam, and you should have no more than 2 or 3 old samples of
what is really in there.

Am I missing something here ?
