Re: CCIE Service Providerv3 - General Question

Whether Cisco is big in DWDM space or not is one conversation to have, but
could you guys share with me what type of materials you used to study
topics like DWDM, ATM or SONET for the CCIE SP written test? I know that
these topics can be very deep in the amount of complexity and information.

Thanks everyone,

Tom
