Re: [OSL | CCIE_SP] New CCIE Service Provider Blueprint

There were no mention of the either. In fact, there was not even
mention of the new hardware. I'm not entirely happy with the
information available as of right now, but the new exam is coming in 6
months. There is plenty of time to prepare for it and I'm sure Cisco
will publish additional information.

Now, here's MY opinion:

- OEQ will stay until they are removed from other tracks. Remember,
OEQs don't exist only for tracks where there was a failed waiver
program for unprepared students.

- There will be significant troubleshooting portion, but I don't
expect a dedicated section on it. The reason why is that IOS XR can't,
to the best of my knowledge, be virtualized. Dedicated TS section
would require two hardware pods per student and that's unrealistic. If
they focus troubleshooting only on IOS virtualized in IOU, half of the
blueprint is off the troubleshooting section, as it cannot be properly
emulated.
