Well this is going to be a good news for potential candidate of CCIE RnS v5. Since the exam will be technology driven rather than hardware specific you are going to see more physical and logical topology driven exam rather than the common 4 switches and 6 routers that we are use to.

In addition is another feature called "On Demand Processing" which is really really cool..you can look it up here: You are not allowed to view links.
