The whole CCIP track is being revamped. I was a good way towards the CCIP Metro Optical when they killed it. I don't think it was out much more than a year. The explanation was that Cisco was re-aligning to better match market reality. Blah blah blah. They basically took the CCIP towards the ISP market and killed off everything else (ISP as opposed to just service provider - which might involve WAN technologies such as SONET). I guess they didn't feel mcast played a big role in the ISP realm. They're probably right. I don't work in an ISP and never have, so I can't say for sure. But mcast still seems to be an enterprise technology for the moment. Internet-wide mcast still seems to be experimental. Almost certainly not profitable. > As far as I know > multicast is still in the CCNP track and it's got to be on the > CCIE written > and lab, so why remove such an important topic from CCIP?
