EIGRP and Distance Vector Routing Protocols

ImageLesson 1: Review of EIGRP Operation

IPv4’s long history has resulted in many competing interior gateway protocols (IGP). Each of those different IPv4 IGPs differs in some ways, including the underlying routing protocol algorithms like link state and distance vector. This first section of the chapter looks at how EIGRP acts like distance vector routing protocols to some degree, while at the same time, EIGRP does not fit easily into any category at all.

In particular, this first section first positions EIGRP against the other common IPv4 routing protocols. Then this section looks at basic DV concepts as ...
