Ok, today is my second day for ipv6 ..4 more days to go, let me see how far
I can get. I would have indepth focus on the expanded list through my prep
and will yet go through some more of ipv6 before I get sick of it. And the
fact is that I am really comffie with it, so no probs there ..only time
constraint. Just need to work my way slowly and steadly.

Thanks for your responses ..my virtual mentors.

Cheers!

PS: Even with bgp, I went up all out to complete the entire ccip bgp paper
..and nailed the exam on 31st dec (geek that I am, gave me a reason to party
hard in evening) ..is there a paper on ipv6 as well?!
