Agreed. I wouldn't know the answer to this nor do I care....

Not because it's not important and not because i couldn't figure it out, but because it's like asking me to implement 
the spec.. Now if you asked me about what a bgp marker or mp-nlri looks like I can answer that. Same goes for why ssm, 
and what multicast groups shouldn't be forwarded off-LAN. (And those that you might want to hack around with an 
application relay to other LANs).

of today's managers kool-aid certs are looked on as better than an 
engineering degree.  Go figure...  :-(
