Re: OT - After SDN, does CCIE still make senese ?

dhcp is pretty tough one.... a lot of them don't know what port PING
operates on or difference between Linux/windows traceroute at the protocol
level!!!

anyway, world moving to SDN is like the world moved from manual cars to
automatic and soon to robot cars.... is the mechanic still around or no?
Yes. So, don't let stuff like SDN, CDN mess up with your goals... keep up
with the technology that's all.
