    Origin Type of Protocol Metric Methodology: Not An Internet Standard All Routers Must Be From Cisco Systems

    EIGRP is a hybrid distance vector routing protocol developed by Cisco that uses the Diffusing Update Algorithm to provide quick convergence and a loop-free network. It uses metrics including delay, bandwidth, reliability and load to select routes. EIGRP sends hello packets every five seconds to neighbors to check availability, and only notifies other routers when routes change. It supports IP and IPX, requires less CPU than OSPF, uses little bandwidth for updates, and offers backward compatibility with IGRP, though all routers must be from Cisco.

    EIGRPEnhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol

    Origin: Based only on Ciscos implementation, not an Internet RFC



    Type of protocol: Hybrid distance vector

    Metric: Delay, bandwidth, reliability, and load, using the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)

    Methodology: Sends hello packets every five seconds to neighbors (can interoperate with IGRP) to
    see if the neighbors are still available; updates other routers by notifying them only when routes
    change

    Ideal topology: Any network, small to very large; all routers must be Cisco

    Strengths:


    Uses DUAL to provide very quick convergence and a loop-free network
    Supports IP and IPX
    Requires less CPU than OSPF (see next section)
    Requires little bandwidth for routing updates
    Supports VLSM or CIDR
    Uses the delay, bandwidth, reliability, and load of a link as its metric; this makes it very accurate in selecting
    the proper route
    Offers backward compatibility with IGRP

    Weaknesses:


    Not an Internet standard; all routers must be from Cisco Systems
    OSPF V2Open Shortest Path First
    [Note that version 1 of OSPF was never implemented.]
