You're missing the point of what the purpose of a router is. A router is supposed to copy a packet from one interface to another based on certain routing criteria as quickly as possible. That's it. Period. Nothing else. All other services need to be placed elsewhere in the network based on the tiered network model of core, distribution, and edge. Otherwise, you will never have a scalable, redundant network.
Absolutely. 10 or so years ago when certs were starting to get big, all I saw was all these "point and clickers" who weren't very good, rush out to take tests. All the guys who knew their stuff didn't have anything to prove, so they never bothered with the tests. They actually relied on their *talent* (what a novel concept!). Me, I had majors in Physics and Mathematics which meant that
I learned how to analytically approach and solve problems, regardless of the type of problem. Essentially, I learned how to *think* (another novel concept!). Something a cert can't give you.
