Eh, big deal. The original post's header indicated it was Off topic. Plenty of threads on this list are about non Cisco certifications. Protocol Analysis is a skill reserved for experts. Some people on this list are CNX certified which is a certification being superceded by the new cert program.....it will be interesting to see how they react to the new program. Therefore the post has relevance to the list. Even if it came from Sniffer's Marketing team, it wouldnt change that..... .....personally, I think protocol analysis is going to be extremely important in Wireless environments as a security measure.
