Yes, the StrataCom materials are only found in the Cisco course materials and the Sybex book. They are not even in the objectives listing, which would seem very unfair. Other than Rishard's correct indication of the backplane I would only suggest assuming that the 'best' / highest number that

The ONLY reason you need to care about those things (in this case) on the exam is the fact that they are *on the exam* Whether they are of great relevance to you or anyone else for that matter is of little consequence. You want to play the man's game, you play by the man's rules. Been there

I deal with SNA and Token Ring on an almost weekly basis. A number of big banks still have this as the mainstay of their network. IPX is still out there in hundreds of thousands of networks and ATM is a major player as well. Just because "you" don't deal with these on a regular basis, does not

Cisco is updating CID. You could take the new beta for a low cost of $25. One has to believe that they improved the test and brought it into the current millennium. (whether you believe we're in the new one yet or not) More info here:
