Is this actually going to happen? This is the second time today I have
read this and it makes sense. The CCIE is a partner's exam and
partners walk into foreign networks every day. This makes the more
sense than anything else for a recertification for a CCIE. Bring it
on I can take it!

I actually suspect that's in the making. With the troubleshooting part
going virtual, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see some sort of a
mini-lab as recert requirement in the future.

Where are Cisco 360 sucess stories for the lab? Andrew said he used
CCBootcamp does he get a free 2nd lab attempt?
