Hi, I checked the SP blueprint a few times and I think that it will be pretty hard to study some topics like Packet over SONET, 10GE and VPLS without the hardware, Plus it is not known to me when IPX will update their books.
Is it smart to change to R/S? I have already the IPX SP books. Until now I covered only the IGPs, BGP, Multicast and MPLS TE. In the last three months I have not learned for CCIE SP because I had to learn for some other certs (CCNA Sec, CCDA and CCDP). In 1-2 Months I will hopefuly have my CCDP. I took a look at the R/S blueprint. It looks interesting and I think that I will rather encounter the R/S topics than the SP ones in my job. These are my arguments for a change to R/S: - No High-end hardware needed - Bigger online community - Topics are more real world than the SP topics (in my job) - Cisco 360 Learning program (I dont know if the IPX courses are better, or cheaper) What do you guys think? _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
