Introduction
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is a distance vector interior routing protocol (IGP)
invented by Cisco. It is used by routers to exchange routing data within an autonomous
system.

IGRP is a proprietary protocol. IGRP was created in part to overcome the limitations of RIP
(maximum hop count of only 15, and a single routing metric) when used within large
networks. IGRP supports multiple metrics for each route, including bandwidth, delay, load,
MTU, and reliability; to compare two routes these metrics are combined together into a single
metric, using a formula which can be adjusted through the use of pre-set constants. The
maximum hop count of IGRP-routed packets is 255 (default 100), and routing updates are
broadcast every 90 seconds (by default). IGRP uses port number 9 for communication.

IGRP is considered a classful routing protocol. Because the protocol has no field for a subnet
mask, the router assumes that all subnetwork addresses within the same Class A, Class B, or
Class C network have the same subnet mask as the subnet mask configured for the interfaces
in question. This contrasts with classless routing protocols that can use variable length subnet
masks. Classful protocols have become less popular as they are wasteful of IP address space.
