Re: CCIE Service Providerv3 - General Question

Hi Yuri,
Good to hear from you. Looking over the written and lab requirements, there
seems to be some differences. Written seems to have a lot more of things
like SONET, DWDM, ATM along with the MPLS and IGP. What have you used for
these topics (SONET, DWDM, ATM)? The IS-IS books looks good, will have to
check it out. I just got the MPLS book and started reading "Traffic
Engineering with MPLS" by Eric Osborne.

I'm thinking that learning the theory and implementing it on IOS would take
significant time. Then applying that same knowledge to XR might not be as
hard. I'm not sure if that makes much sense without knowing XR that much,
but I would think that most of the features are similar with some new
additional ones first implemented on the XR line. Anyone agree or disagree?

How are the rumors of virtualized XR platform? Any development there?

Thanks

Tom Kacprzynski
