Hi,
The best advise to you is you would be better to check all that with
your Cisco account team. Because the 12000 series and its cards support
different features and depending on what you are using, some features

I did MPLS while it was in beta, I found MPLS and VPN Architectures by
Pepelnjak and Guichard very useful (ISBN 1-58705-002-1). Also, Boson have an

topics are covered well, also it has references to the above book.

I am also interested to know if anyone has taken the beta exam. a few months
