Configuring EIGRP
Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) is a Cisco proprietary enhanced version of the IGRP. EIGRP uses the same
distance vector algorithm and distance information as IGRP; however, the convergence properties and
the operating efficiency of EIGRP are significantly improved.
The convergence technology employs an algorithm referred to as the Diffusing Update Algorithm
(DUAL), which guarantees loop-free operation at every instant throughout a route computation and
allows all devices involved in a topology change to synchronize at the same time. Routers that are not
affected by topology changes are not involved in recomputations.
IP EIGRP provides increased network width. With RIP, the largest possible width of your network is
15 hops. Because the EIGRP metric is large enough to support thousands of hops, the only barrier to
expanding the network is the transport-layer hop counter. EIGRP increments the transport control field
only when an IP packet has traversed 15 routers and the next hop to the destination was learned through
EIGRP.
