Having done the R&S in '96, ISP Dial in '99 and the Security in '02 I
would say it's the same lab with many of the simpler tasks removed. By
simpler tasks I'm referring to cabling, IP addressing, etc.
Now over time the lab itself have changed. In '96 the lab consisted of
85% of what I call core topics and 15% of what I call corner case
topics. Today the R&S consists of roughly 60% core topics and 40% corner
case topics. Of course in '96 there wasn't any CCIE practice material
available on the market so Cisco focused on more of the core topics. As
more practice material starting appearing on the market Cisco has moved
to testing more of the corner case topics.
Today with all the topics Cisco is covering on the lab I see Cisco
starting to move back towards more of the core topics just because there
is so many of them that today's lab covers. This is a good direction to
go. It's better for someone to learn useful topics like QoS in-depth
rather than how to make IGRP and OSPF play nicely with each other.

Subject: General Question
Without wishing to cause a storm of NDA discussions, can someone who has
taken the lab prior to November 4th and subsequently after November 4th,
comment on whether they noticed any real differences, or if it was to
all
intents and purposes the same ?
Just looking for generic feedback........
