I would like to see the CCIE even more specilized, I don't think that there
should be VoIP, VPN and security in a R&S designation they should be a
seperate designation. Seems like what ever is hot cisco puts in the R&S
cert. I don't think that Layer 1 and 2 should be a big part of the R&S
except for general connection requirements. That should also be a
designation.
There sould be at least 10-12 maybe 15 designations not just 5.
The wider in scope the subject matter the less of an expert you become so I
feel that adding too many topics to a designation dilutes its impact.
