Sundar, I began studies for CCDP (yes, you need both CCDA and CID) after completion of CCNP. I just passed the CCDA exam and recommend Top Down Network Design and Boson. I didn't find the exam particularly difficult from a technical perspective. TDND will give you all of the non-technical information as well as a refresher on some of the basics. Boson will help you get a "feel" for how the DCN test will be formatted. I believe that completing everything possible before attempting the CCIE written will only be helpful. Design may not be specifically added to the R/S test, but we should know something about this area sooner or later. That's a real-world perspective.
