Are you fluent in the MPLS VPN, VPLS, EoMPLS, IPTV, VoIP, IPv6 and Data Center and mobility technologies? Unless you’ve passed your CCIE SP lab exam last week, the answer is probably no. But even more important, do you know how to use them in your Service Provider network to ...

The creators of certifications in the IT industry (including Cisco Systems) have responded by including more and more hands-on exercises in the certification exams.
