<div>Hi Ryan,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think 76XX series is good even for beginners.</div>
<div>One recommendation is to study about MPLS, but not only with CISCO even with more providers such as Juniper (its equipments are bigger and better!!!)...study theory in general...after a good theory, the practice will be easier!
