Hi All, To your question; we are, as all should be, a pure IP and Cisco shop (:. As to why we originally went Eigrp, who knows it was before my time but I would guess Cisco had some influence on it, but now we are growing and plan, no not plan but have bought the routers\switches for 400 locations and will be deploying @ the beginning of the year.
I know EIGRP will scale well and will handle our growth for the time being. As my research points, we will be good with EIGRP for a long time and the differences I found between the two are really nominal. But since the network we are rolling out is in parallel to the present, we do not have to worry about the migration part, so we have the opportunity to do it right and impress people long after I am gone. So correct me where I am wrong and please show me the light OSPF or EIGRP.

What routed protocols you plan to run? Just IP or IP/IPX/AT,etc.? Any other vendor equipment other than cisco? Firewalls running OSPF for failover? Why did you initially choose EIGRP? Does the network design lend itself well to a backbone area? Redundant links (including DDR) ? I think if you can answer some of these questions, it will help the group give you a better response.
