Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an interior gateway protocol suited for many different topologies and media. In a well designed network, EIGRP
scales well and provides extremely quick convergence times with minimal network traffic.
Some of the many advantages of EIGRP are:
very low usage of network resources during normal operation; only hello packets are transmitted on a stable network when a change occurs, only routing table changes are propagated, not the entire routing table; this reduces the load the routing protocol itself places on the network rapid convergence times for changes in the network topology.
EIGRP is an enhanced distance vector protocol, relying on the Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the shortest path to a destination within a network.
Major Revisions of the Protocol:
Explanations in this paper may not apply to that earlier version. We highly recommend using the later version of EIGRP, as it includes many performance and stability enhancements.
