Thanks for Sharing Adam and Abdel. planning to go for this on April next year just before my SP written expires. i don't know if it right to say it here but IPExpert hasn't released anything for SPv3 yet as it is a competitor product. But INE have released CCIE SPv3.0 advanced technology classes that I've downloaded and now constantly watching the video classes. I'm in the same boat as you as I don't have real world IOS-XR experience and soon as next month i'll be practicing using GigaVelocity and Vincent Zhou's sample lab to get the feel on IOS-XR. All the best mate on your next try, hope you'll get it next time. Cheers! Antonio Dee CCIE RS #25609
