There has been some speculation on the fate of the CCIP track since the beta testing of exam 642-661 - Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers. Well, this is what Cisco has to say about it.
Cisco Systems recently adjusted the CCIP (Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional) program to meet the changing needs of the service provider market. With this adjustment, the CCIP curriculum will follow in the CCDP and CCNP tradition of four exams and four courses. The elective approach will be phased out and the existing QoS course will be a part of the CCIP program. For those customers interested in pursuing the elective areas, the Cisco Qualified Specialist program will offer focused training and certification in multiple areas of high demand. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/ecampaign/blast http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/ecampaign/blast2 Question is what happens to those who have the "old" CCIP with an elective. Then there is an overlap in course material. A good portion of the BSCI course covers BGP, which is covered again in the new exam "Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers". However, IMHO, I think the cert is welcome. By making MPLS and some advanced BGP concepts mandatory it is more reflective of the skills required in a SP environment.
