It may seem obvious, and it does not eliminate all that much, but look at
the CCIE equipment list. I have a printed verison of 12.1 docs, and can
remember marking numerous sections in the Multiservice Config guide volume
as having to do with equipment that is simply not on the equipment list
right now. It's good stuff to know in the real world, but for the purposes
of the CCIE lab things that can ONLY run on a 7500, or 7200, or 8500, or
things that have to do with Cable headend routers or little UBR924s, can be
marked off the study list, in my opinion.
That leaves a heck of a lot of difficult material, but I would imagine that
it would permit you to drop perhaps one fifth of the configuration guide
pages from your CCIE study, which could add up to thousand of pages.
In some cases it does not help you much. You need to know "X technology,"
but not "distributed X" technology. You might rightly say, "Big deal."
