EIGRP is hybird.
EIGRP uses Hello protocol to discover neighbor, just like other link state
routing protocol does.
That's what I mean. I did not say that EIGRP is link state routing
protocol.
Using DV algorithm to updates direct connected neighbor, but it is
non-periodic, partial.
Calclate path by using diffusing computation, check IEEE Article to see what
it is, I suggested
No wonder Cisco certification is no longer valueable, just created some
skilled test taker.
