Re: MPLS study materials for CCIE R&S Lab 4.0

Hey team,

Personally I like the networkers presentations ... quick and good for
intro. You can get a lot quickly out of these, but will need to make your
own labs up so you can better learn the materials. After all ... reading
about MPLS only takes you so far.

Before writing this, I just checked Cisco's PEC. These vary in difficulty
and are free, and I saw quite a few to choose from. Labs with remote access
to routers and a defined lab guide ... (you can also stray from the lab
guide and configure whatever you want ...)

HTH,

Andrew
