Enterprise / SP split?

IME, SPs tend towards OSPF or IS-IS (or every once in a while, invent
their own *grin*), Enterprises towards EIGRP or RIP.

That would be my complaint - CCNA feels quite Enterprise-centric, VLSM
rather than CIDR, "how would you subnet between buildings / floors"
questions, etc.  Still, I guess that's the bulk of their customer base...
