Don't think I can comment beyond what Cisco posts on their site and I'm not up to speed on what is there. >2)Is IS-IS included in the CCIE Lab or does the removal of CLNS stated >from >http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/routing.html#43 >mean that CLNS is so far out of coverage that it can't be used as local >L2 transport for ISIS. IS-IS routes IP pretty well and does not require the use of CLNS. Further, IS-IS is directly encapsulated at layer two and does not utilize a layer three transport mechanism such as IP or CLNS (not that is hasn't been discussed) To answer the next common question, IS-IS does not use CLNS PDU's, but rather steals hello's from the ES-IS (ISO 9542) spec, and uses it's own PDU's (defined in ISO 10589) for the rest of it's operation.
