Well, that's an NDA question if I ever saw one, but I'll say this. MPLS is
'unofficially' saved for the C&S exam. Most of the equipment in the R&S lab
can't run MPLS. IPV6 only is supported in 12.2 and some 12.0 Service
Provider releases. It's possible, but probably about as much as ALPS :) I
see people discuss Mobile IP on this list occasionally, and it's not too
difficult to learn, so I'd know it. But to sum up the new lab, I'd say that
if you were totally prepared for the pre-Nov 4 lab, you're still 85%
prepared for it now. Just my .02 though...

>How about MPLS, IPV6 and Mobile IP ?

Does anyone see those in the old or new labs ?
