Question about the new track

Dr_Atomic

How much emphasis is placed on MPLS on the new CCNP track? The same as before? And QoS?

I would say none...

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, chrisone pretty much summed it up...

Now I have to do the CCIP track in order to know some QoS configuration...

Great...

Forsaken_GA

well, if you have CCIE R&S aspirations, you could just leave the QoS study until then, though I do recommend the CCIP as a good source of information.

Either way, you'll be needing the Odom QoS book hehe

This is also what the CCVP track looks forward to, which I am going to be reading eventually

I recommend every Cisco engineer pick up the Odom QoS book.

There's so many topics a CCNP should know that was removed from ONT and ISCW, but at least the TSHOOT should filter out the dumpers
