Actually, I should have made the point that I don't particularly trust the
figures - as Fred says, there's no source given. But the ratio of CCIEs to
CCDPs doesn't surprise me. I also know people who did the CCDP shortly
after the CCNP, but that seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon - earlier,
most people on this list seemed to be aiming at CCNP then CCIE, and
ignoring the CCDP.
And as far as research papers without sources - haven't you come across the
belief held by some (hopefully not many on this list) that 'I read it on
the net so it must be true'? ;-)
A modernisation of 'The newspaper said so - it must be true'!

Actually, the CCDP is 2 tests away from the CCNP (CCDA and CID).

I know of many people, including myself, who first pursued the CCNP and
soon
after got the CCDP. After getting the CCNP, the CCDP is only one test away,
so it makes sense to put that extra couple of study weeks in for another
certification.
I also have a hard time believing a set of statistics that has no source.
Do
you think people write research papers without citing their sources?? Who
would believe them??
