I thought it would never end, but after 17 class days and over 80 hours of lecture, I'm proud to announce that our new CCIE Routing & Switching Advanced Technologies Class is now complete!

This is by far the most complete run of this class I've ever done, and from what I've seen there's nothing else that comes close to the length, breadth, and depth of this content.  For those of you that attended the live classes, I hope it was both informative and enjoyable.  For those of you who couldn't attend live, the On-Demand versions will be available in both our new HTML5 streaming format and available for download starting this week.  More information will be posted shortly with along with additional samples.
