What is EIGRP?
Rating:
EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary protocol. It is an enhanced version on IGRP. It has faster convergence due to use of triggered update and saving neighbor's routing table locally. It supports VLSM and routing summarization. As EIGRP is a distance vector protocol, it automatically summarizes routes across Class A, B and C networks. It also supports multicast and incremental updates and provides routing for three routed protocols i.e. IP, IPX, and AppleTalk.
