Joe, Don't you see it -this is perfectly in line with the CCIE EXAM - blood sweat and tears -
There are always some possibilities -maybe start with one of the big providers to get access to XR and VPLS and PBB equipment They have their own labs with all the eq you'll need adam -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2010 6:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CCIE_SP Digest, Vol 45, Issue 6 Send CCIE_SP mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://onlinestudylist.com/mailman/listinfo/ccie_sp or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of CCIE_SP digest..."

There is no chance of a lab seat before May 2011. There is also no clear path to getting access to the gear necessary to pass the SP track. As frustrating as it is to drop this track, I feel like there is no other choice. Remote racks will not exist, if ever, for quite some time. It's too expensive for any company to built out racks with this kind of equipment. Cisco got it very wrong this time.
