The simple answer is that yes, ISIS is a possible topic for the R/S exam. The better question to ask is why? The R/S is supposed to be an enterprise-networking oriented exam. Those who are interested in carrier routing where ISIS is most commonly found should be looking at the C/S. Let's face it, at this time ISIS is not exactly a particularly common enterprise technology, so why test such an obscure enterprise protocol on a supposedly enterprise-oriented test? I suppose a tenuous case could be made if it was surmised that ISIS was destined to expand its presence in the enterprise, but honestly now, does anybody seriously think this is going to happen? For example, does anybody seriously believe that in say, 10 years, there is going to be more ISIS in real-world networks as a percentage of total usage? Especially in the enterprise? Right. So again, on a supposedly enterprise-oriented test, why test a technology that is rare in the enterprise and getting rarer every day?
