- EIGRP Protocol #
- Total Path to Destination = Feasible Distance
- Distance to Destination = Advertised Distance

Best Path
- Goes into routing table
- Successor Route
-
Best Backup Path
-
Feasible Successor
- Advertised Distance of Feasible Successor must be < Feasible Distance of Successor Route
-
Unequal Load Balancing
- Shares traffic proportionally
- Use "variance" command in Cisco CLI
- Feasible Successor must have a lower Feasible Distance than the Successor X multiplier
-
Uses RTP (Reliable Transport Protocol)
- RTP for EIGRP packets
-
Uses Multicast on Multi-Access Network (ethernet)
- To Send EIGRP packets
-
Uses Holddown Timer
- Instead of sending ACK to Hello packets
-
Types of EIGRP Packets
- HELLO
- UPDATE
- QUERY
- REPLY
- ACK
