Briefly describe Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP).

What will be an ideal response?


EIGRP is a hybrid routing protocol developed by Cisco to overcome some of the limitations associated with IGRP, in particular, and distance-vector routing protocols in general. As a hybrid routing protocol, EIGRP combines the best attributes of both distance-vector and link-state routing protocols. Additionally, EIGRP, when used with the no auto summary command, can support variable-length subnet masking (VLSM). EIGRP, like IGRP, is Cisco proprietary and can only be used between Cisco routers. IGRP has been replaced by EIGRP in the most recent versions of the Cisco IOS.
