Thanks Terry , but still I dont understand how is it distance vector .. bcos
distance vector uses hop count , but eigrp doest use any hop count feature ?

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] How is EIGRP a distance vector ?
Hey Taqdir,
As I understand it EIGRP uses "Distributed Update algorithm" or "DUAL",
in combines the link-state and distance-vector algorithms. Routers
running EIGRP choose paths based on vector (a direction) and distance
but convergence is managed by change based updates. Together the two
are combined in the DUAL algorithm to provide convergence speeds as fast
(some say faster than) link state protocols without the computational
and storage overhead.
If I'm wrong please correct me.
Terry
