| | 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. |
