  Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EIGRP is a balanced hybrid IP routing protocol, with optimizations to minimize both the routing instability incurred after topology changes, as well as the use of bandwidth and processing power in the router.
Routing table: Stores the actual routes to all destinations; routes may be marked either as "Passive", which is the normal state when the routing has stabilized, or "Active" when the topology has changed, and the router is in the process of updating its route to that destination.
EIGRP is able to deal with classless interdomain routing allowing the use of VLSM which is its main advantage over its predecessor.

 Communications protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An example of a simple communications protocol adapted to voice communication is the case of a radio dispatcher talking to mobile stations.
Protocol layering accomplishes these objectives by dividing the protocol design into a number of smaller parts, each of which performs closely related sub-tasks, and interacts with other layers of the protocol only in a small number of well-defined ways.
Protocol layering allows the parts of a protocol to be designed and tested without a combinatorial explosion of cases, keeping each design relatively simple.

 EIGRP - a Whatis.com definition
EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is a network protocol that lets routers exchange information more efficiently than with earlier network protocols.
EIGRP evolved from IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and routers using either EIGRP and IGRP can interoperate because the metric (criteria used for selecting a route) used with one protocol can be translated into the metrics of the other protocol.
If it can't find a route to a destination in one of these tables, it queries its neighbors for a route and they in turn query their neighbors until a route is found.

 Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
Enhanced IGRP relies on four fundamental concepts: neighbor tables, topology tables, route states, and route tagging.
Route tagging is particularly useful in transit ASs, where Enhanced IGRP typically interacts with an interdomain routing protocol that implements more global policies, resulting in a very scalable, policy-based routing.
External routes are tagged with information that identifies their origin.

 IP Routing: Chapter 4: Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
EIGRP differs in that it saves not only the best (least-cost) route but all routes, allowing convergence to be much quicker.
When a route is lost, the updates stop; the invalid and flush timers grow and grow (the timers are not reset), and, ultimately, the route is flushed from the routing table.
A route is regarded as stuck-in-active (SIA) when DUAL does not receive a response to a query from a neighbor for three minutes, which is the default value of the active timer.

 Interior Gateway Protocols
Intra-area routing occurs when the source and destination are in the same area; inter area routing occurs when they are in different areas.
When changes to the routing table are detected, the BGP routers send to their neighbors only those routes that have changed.
Routes learned via BGP have associated properties that are used to determine the best route to a destination when multiple paths exist to a particular destination.

 Cisco - Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
EIGRP is an enhanced distance vector protocol, relying on the Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the shortest path to a destination within a network.
EIGRP, instead of counting on full periodic updates to re-converge, builds a topology table from each of its neighbor's advertisements (rather than discarding the data), and converges by either looking for a likely loop-free route in the topology table, or, if it knows of no other route, by querying its neighbors.
EIGRP avoids this congestion by pacing the speed at which packets are transmitted on a network, thereby using only a portion of the available bandwidth.

 IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) (Linktionary term)
An interior routing protocol is meant to be used inside an autonomous system (an organization's private network) while an exterior routing protocol operated between autonomous systems.
EIGRP is a distance-vector routing protocol similar to IGRP, but with many enhancements.
When routers add entries to routing tables, 1 is added to the hop count to account for the hop between the router and the neighbor from which it received the route information.

 Interior Gateway Routing Protocol and Enhanced IGRP
The Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is a routing protocol developed in the mid-1980s by Cisco Systems, Inc. Cisco's principal goal in creating IGRP was to provide a robust protocol for routing within an autonomous system (AS) having arbitrarily complex topology and consisting of media with diverse bandwidth and delay characteristics.
Distance vector routing protocols call for each router to send all or a portion of its routing table in a routing update message at regular intervals to each of its neighboring routers.
Distance vector routing protocols are often contrasted with link state routing protocols, which send local connection information to all nodes in the internetwork.

 Untitled Document
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) or Enhanced IGRP is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol utilizing the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL).
EIGRP is a hybrid protocol as it incorporates features of a Distance Vector routing protocol and features of a Link State routing protocol.
EIGRP can redistribute its routes (and metrics) intoother routing protocols and accepts redistribution from other routing protocols as well.

 Cisco Sem3 Lesson 5 - IGRP
routing table entry (manually defined by the system administrator) that is used to direct frames for which a next hop is not explicitly listed in the routing table.
Link state algorithms create a consistent view of the network and are therefore not prone to routing loops, but they achieve this at the cost of relatively greater computational difficulty and more widespread traffic (compared with distance vector routing algorithms).
The algorithm used to calculate the routing metric for IGRP is also shown as well as information about routing metrics (like hop count) and routing filters.

 IP Routing Primer: Part Four | Full Story | November 27, 2000
Unlike RIP, OSPF is a link-state routing protocol, which means that routing changes are based on the status and speeds of the physical links in the networked routers.
It's important to note that a link-state database is distinct from a routing table.
EIGRP calls the next router in the path toward a network destination a "successor." It also keeps track of the next-hop routers that can provide loop-free backup routes, which it calls "feasible successors." This information is tracked in a topology table.

 SecuriTeam™ - Authenticated EIGRP DoS and Information Disclosure
A goodbye message is sent when an EIGRP routing process is shutting down to tell the neighbors about the impending topology change to speed up the convergence.
Of course, on an unprotected EIGRP domain there is a much simpler way of traffic redirection, which is either directly injecting the routes using our packet generator or establishing a fake neighborhood and supplying metric parameters to the legitimate peers, which would lead DUAL to favor the fake neighbor.
From a position within an EIGRP authenticated AS where it is possible to receive/listen to EIGRP Hello Updates, it is possible, with reply attacks, to forge illegitimate hello packets in an authenticated AS.

 What is Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Abbreviated as EIGRP, an evolved version of IGRP that addresses the demands of large-scale internetworks and the changes in network technology that have been developed since the implementation of IGRP.
Routers that already use IGRP can use EIGRP because the metrics for both protocols are directly translatable, i.e., they are as easily comparable as if they were routes that originated in their own autonomous systems.
Unlike some earlier routing protocols that would send an entire table to neighboring routers when one routing table entry changed, EIGRP notifies the neighbors of only the specific change in the table.

 Packet Design monitors EIGRP
Distance-vector routing protocols call for each router to send all or a portion of its routing table in a routing-update message at regular intervals to each of its neighboring routers.
Route Explorer can spot, for example, that a downed link will break the only path to a given prefix because redundant routing is incorrectly configured.
Pricing for Route Explorer begins at $19,000 and scales to $90,000 or so, based on the size of the network and the type of protocols to be monitored.

 Verizon preserves EIGRP routes over MPLS
Verizon can preserve your EIGRP routes whether you manage your premises routers yourself or whether Verizon is providing you with a managed router service, says Mike Tighe, director of advanced data services at Verizon.
He observes, though, that the EIGRP service is most in demand where the customer is managing the router, since it's a bigger headache for customers to deal with BGP when configuring and maintaining WAN-edge routers themselves.
In Cisco-centric shops, EIGRP is compelling as a routing option to MPLS-based IP VPNs because enterprises only have to configure their WAN routers for one protocol, their networks are easier to troubleshoot, and the likelihood of traffic taking the most efficient path is greater, Tighe says.
