IIRC, I was told by that person that Cisco, in its current CCNP study materials, is saying just that - that something operates at the OSI layer above which it functions. I.e. if a routing protocol uses an IP protocol number, then it is operating at transport layer. Since BGP uses TCP port 179, it is operating at the session layer, along with RIP, which uses UDP port 520. ( BTW, I have also read in a reputable source that UDP is application layer because it is not reliable, and therefore cannot be transport layer, and there is no place else it really fits ) I recognize that Cisco just LOVES the OSI model in the lower level certifications, but the fact is that in terms of how things work it is crap, and tends to cause more confusion and add no value. Every vendor of content switches is calling them layer 4-7 switches. what kind of crap is that? I dare anyone to justify switching as a layer 5 or a layer 6 activity. Yet there it is. Also, to judge from what content switches do, the marketers are saying the OSI layer 7 is user application, not a service application, something Howard takes great pain to differentiate in his writings on the subject, again IIRC. TCP/IP is NOT OSI compliant, never has been, never will be. OSI is a reference model, and not necessarily related to anything in real life. End of rant.

RE: BGP confeds versus RouteReflectors [7:28137]
After reading through the BGP literature it seems to me that you can use confederations to solve two different BGP design problems 1) To minimize the number of connections between routers. The full mesh rule. Route reflectors does this too. 2) To advertise many ASes to the internet with one legal AS(assigned from IANA or RIPE). This is good when two ISPs merge.

Howard C. Berkowitz wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... It's my understanding that route reflectors are used in small networks,confederations are used in larger networks. If anything, at least in the ISP context, it's probably more the other way around. Remember also that you can build hierarchies of route reflector clusters.

I personally think that the downturn is an opportunity to study. Contractors are going to face longer delays between projects and those of us that have a steady job will face a cut in overtime. That means that you have more time to study.

For those of you who think it might be due to lack of experience, the guys I am talking about have at least 5 years of experience, and the dual-guy has more than 10, including more than 5 at Cisco as an SE. * My understanding is that the one-day lab is significantly harder than the older 2-day lab. But of course, this might be compensated for by the fact that the wait list will be shorter (eventually). * I don't know that Cisco has too many CCIE tracks. Right now there are 3 active tracks. This is like the old days of the program, when they also used to have 3 (R/S, ISP-Dial, WAN) [Note, Ok, in the really old days, I know there used to be only the R/S]. But I remember at one point last year or so, there were actually 5 active tracks (R/S, ISP-Dial, WAN, Design, SNA/IP). Now that really was too many tracks. * You're right, why bother (esp. with the R/S)? Sorry guys, I know this sounds harsh, and I know that I'm going to get flamed for this, but if I had to do it all over again, I don't know that I would try to get the R/S. Now by that, let me be clear. There is nothing wrong with learning the R/S material. That is always good. Everybody should learn the material that the R/S guy knows.But as far as doing actual test prep - getting my typing and configuration speed up so that I can set up BGP and OSPF in 10 minutes, actually paying for the test and travelling to the test site, I don't know that I would put myself through that again unless it was worth it. Let's face it. This isn't 1998-1999 anymore. Who knows when, or even if, things will get better? Particularly when there is probably a much more valuable cert program out there. Which is why I am moving on to ... * Juniper. I don't think the same market forces hold for Juniper, at least not to the same degree. The Juniper market is much less saturated than the Cisco market. Consider this - there are about 6650 CCIE's out there, of which probably about 6400 are R/S'ers. Right now there are 20 JNCIE's. So despite the fact that the demand for Juniper skills is smaller, I have a very difficult time believing it is 320 times smaller.You can check out my old post (7:3485, posted 10/1/01, on Re:Is the CCIE really worth it), where I discuss this subject at length.

I finally passed the routing exam on Monday. I used the following books: 1) Routing TCP/IP by Doyle. An excellent book about internal routing protocols like OSPF,EIGRP,RIP and redistribution. 2) Internet routing architectures by Halabi. A good book about BGP. 3) CCNP routing Exam certification guide by Cisco Press. An excellent book for the BSCN exam. 4) Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Paquet. I personally found the exam certification guide better 5) Routing certification guide and exam notes by Sybex. It is good to read the last week before the exam. It do not go into details. 6) Routing exam cram. It is totally waste of money.I personally like the examcram books and I have used it a lot for the cisco exams but this book is not good. 7) IP routing fundamentals. Cisco press. It is about routing protocols in general and is good for getting fundamental knowledge but not specially for the exam. 8) OSPF network design solutions by Thomas M Thomas, cisco Press. It is better for deeper knowledge of OSPF. 9) OSPF Anatomy of an internet routing protocol. Moy (He designed the OSPF protocol) it is excellent book about ospf and I will read it again for the CCIE R/S written 10) BGP4 Internet domain routing in the internet by Stewart. I need to read that book a few more times to compleatly understand it. I took the boson test 2 and 3 and the questions were of the same difficulty as the actual exam. I work as a WAN administrator at the Icelandic Banks Data Senter and have about 4 years experience with cisco routers so configuring ospf and simple BGP is not new to me. Yet I found the exam difficult so do not underestimate it. I will now continue studying for the CCIE R/S written exam and I am looking for buying a few books for it. On this list many people have read and recommended books by Caslow. I looked his name up on www.amazon.com and found that he has written many books about cisco.
