Back to square (almost) one

I’ve put off my exam until Dec 28. While reading ipv6 fundamentals during the weekend, i realized that too much material was new to me. I panicked and hit the brakes.

So, the plan for the next 18 months or so is as follows:

• CCIE written on Dec 28; I need to concentrate to ipv6, SDN, multicast, IS-IS and MPLS
• I’m starting with the labs already because i need to do something practical
• I’m planning the first lab exam attempt around june next year, with the second attempt (positive thinking sucks) near December 2018 / feb 2019 by the very latest. I’m not planning to fail on the second attempt 😀
