I have just done the CCIP and found it interesting.
however I wouldnt say I would have passed without
a lot of hands on experience with BGP/ISIS however
the area is narrow enough you either need to work
for an ISP or a very large enterprise.
Go for R/S.
Regards,
Kevin

Is taking the extra test for DP when you already have the NP worth while?
besides the obvious stuff (more letters behind your resume).
What about CCIP, can anyone comment on that?
