I'll drop my 2 cents in. I've been told by a CCIE that EIGRP is usually used
when you are running strictly Cisco equipment, but that OSPF works really
well with multi-vendor equipment. Unfortunately I've only worked with Cisco
equipment and have never had the chance to check this out for myself. If you
have the CiscoPress book for routing, page 196, 197 has some ways of
implementing different areas with OSPF, however I think I've also read
somewhere that you should have at least 30 routers when using OSPF....ooops
20 routers, page 177 same book. It also says a Maximum of 60 areas per
Domain,(I'm guessing that means per AS) CCO also has a good design paper on
OSPF.

Which is more common - OSPF or EIGRP?

Hi

I am wondering which routing protocol is more common in the industries -
OSPF or EIGRP ?]

i am trying to implement some routing protocol on my HQ with several (20+)
branches (with only 1 router in each branch) using hub-and-spoke design.

I am wondering which protocol so i use? OSPF or EIGRP ?

Is there a limit on the number of areas that one can create with OSPF?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks


Regards
