>But I have more experience in enterprise-like network designs. Completely opposite for me. I've been in the SP world for 10+ years, and I fortunately have access to gear that runs XR, XE, NX. I can see this being a problem soon for folks on the new SP track though. Will be interesting to see how the Certification community deals with the changes (hopefully Cisco will provide some help). I can attest, the gear is beyond expensive, so a EMU is almost gonna be a must. Guess I have no excuses for not going SP track when I finally pass the R&S :)
