Re: OT: is this true? I am worried about studying for CCIE R&S

I tend to agree with Hammer. How long has IPv6 been around and how many
people use it today? SDN is on the rise and worth learning, but from a day
to day perspective and looking out at the next decade, I don't see
traditional R & S being completely eliminated. Novel is a great example,
and as hammer states, there will always be the need to play some Duke Nuekm
on IPX, so that stuff will also stay around.

SDN's also come with their own challenges. Many un observered and unknown
due to the infancy of the movement. An obvious one being loss of the
Controller can deem the entire architecture unavailable.

Go get your R & S. Quoting recent CCIE in R & S Jay McMickel "R & S is the
supper and security is the desert!"

I tend to agree that not being an expert in R & S diminishes expertise in
any area (except maybe SAN...) That is why despite my past failures, I
still don't consider another track untile I finish R & S.
