- Overview
-
Characteristics
-
Network Type
- Internal routes are those injected into EIGRP by the network command (AD 90)
- External routes are redistributed into EIGRP from a different routing source (AD 170)
-
Metric
- Bandwidth (in kbps)
- Delay (tens of microseconds)
- Reliability (ratio good frame/total frame 1-255)
- Load (ratio traffic/capacity 1-255)
- Throughput (65536×10^7/If BW)
- Latency (65536×If Delay/10^6)
- MTU
- Hop Count
-
