Unfortunately, SNA traffic is not going anywhere. SNA isn't exactly a bad
thing. The general thinking of most companies is to, rather than drop the
protocol and hardware, use technologies such as DLSw+ and the such to keep
supporting SNA. Do a lot of work in the field, and you're bound to run into
a few situations where you have to deal with SNA, NetBIOS, etc. At this
point, you'll thank Cisco for making you learn it.
Somebody did mention the silliness of making us learn how to deal with RIF's
by hand.. and I agree. But hey, once you earn your CCIE, you'll look back
and be a pretty happy person.
