Our decision was taken from a public statement by a Cisco that stated
that the CCIE lab contained six routers, two 3550's, and backbone
routers that the candidates will have to interact with but can not
configure. They also said that one router will have ATM and two will
have ISDN. We built our topology based off that statement.

Subject: RE: Minimum Number of Routers required for Practice Labs
IE Workbook uses 9 routers while NMC uses 7.
Main difference is IE uses Backbone routers.
I would say at least 6 routers for testing.
