Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an interior gateway protocol suited for many different topologies and media. In a well designed network, EIGRP scales well and provides extremely quick convergence times with minimal network traffic.

EIGRP Theory of Operation
Some of the many advantages of EIGRP are:

very low usage of network resources during normal operation; only hello packets are transmitted on a stable network

when a change occurs, only routing table changes are propagated, not the entire routing table; this reduces the load the routing protocol itself places on the network

rapid convergence times for changes in the network topology (in some situations convergence can be almost instantaneous)

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.

Major Revisions of the Protocol
There are two major revisions of EIGRP, versions 0 and 1. Cisco IOS versions earlier than 10.3(11), 11.0(8), and 11.1(3) run the earlier version of EIGRP; some explanations in this paper may not apply to that earlier version. We highly recommend using the later version of EIGRP, as it includes many performance and stability enhancements.
