    Based on Cisco's announcement, everyone should be studying from 12.2 on
the 3550 and 12.4 mainline on the routers (at least 12.3 mainline, but if
the 3700/3800 routers will be running 12.4.......)

Upcoming Changes:

Effective January 1, 2006 all CCIE Routing and Switching lab locations will
begin introducing the Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router into the exam
racks. These routers support Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces and will eventually replace the Series 2600 and Series 3600
models. Along with the router change, the CCIE R&S lab will be upgrading the
IOS to 12.3 mainline (for the Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series Routers), 12.4
mainline (for Cisco 3700 and 3800 Series Routers) and 12.2 for Cisco
Catalyst 3550 switches.

All CCIE R&S candidates taking exams January 1, 2006 or later should be
familiar with the updated IOS and equipment, although the installations to
replace the routers will take place over several weeks and it is possible
some candidates may not see the new equipment in their exams.
