By default, EIGRP will use no more than 50% of the bandwidth of an interface. This is for EIGRP packets themselves, not for the forwarding of user data, which EIGRP wouldn't handle anyway. (It's a routing protocol, not a routed protocol). I think this must be a legacy feature for using EIGRP on low-bandwidth links. These days something would really be wrong if EIGRP approached 50% of the bandwidth on a typical interface. > > i guess its for EIGRP update Transfer,isn't it ? > > and what is the size of a routing table,if it contain 2 routes? EIGRP resides on a typical 20-byte IP header. The EIGRP header is 20 bytes and includes a version, an opcode (to identify type of packet, such as Update), AS, and a few other things. Each route is about 26-30 bytes. It depends on the prefix length. Here's an example of an initial Update packet: Ethernet Header Destination: 00:00:0C:02:75:14 Source: 00:60:09:C3:FB:83 Protocol Type: 0x0800 IP IP Header - Internet Protocol Datagram Version: 4 Header Length: 5 (20 bytes) Type of Service: %00000000 000. ....
