1- not sure
2- The Successor is the route... it's your best "next" hop, learned from
neighboring router roomers. I believe EIGRP is using 7 different metrics.
Your Feasible Successor is plan B, should A (the Successor) go down or
bottleneck. Now @ the point your Successor starts to "cost more," your route
goes active (DUAL Algorithm kicks in). It's highly possible your Feasible
(old plan B) becomes the Successor (Plan A) & vise versa. If you truly want
to hammer this thing, get EIGRP Network Design Solutions (Cisco Press).
Very well written & few to no errors. Pepelnjak goes through the math of
the algorithm very well. Kinda makes you forget about OSPF for awhile.
3- don't have the book
4- interior & exterior or just passive out the LAN stuff & run it exterior
5- refer to 2
