The Diffusing Update Algorithm- It is an algorithm used by EIGRP for selecting lowest cost loop free path for each possible destination.ĮIGRP uses RTP (Reliable Transport Protocol) to deliver EIGRP packets between neighbors in a reliable and ordered way.The Neighbor Discovery and Recovery Module- Hello messages are used for Neighbor Discovery and Recovery.


It is also considered as a Hybrid Routing Protocol because it has characteristics of both Distance Vector and Link State Routing Protocols.ĮIGRP supports classless routing and VLSM, route summarization, incremental updates, load balancing and other features. Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP Protocol) is an enhanced distance vector routing protocol which Uses Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the shortest path.
