As EIGRP only looks at incoming hello packets (EIGRP type 5 packets) to keep a peer neighbor relationship up on a particular side of a routed link., this can be a prime issue for "black hole" routing issues.
OSPF adjacencies are bi-directional. Makes more sense. Why was EIGRP designed this way? ________________________________________________________________ Ken Farrington Global Networks, Barclays Capital, 5 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4BB * Tel : 020 7773 3550 * Mob : 07768-866655 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more information about Barclays Capital, please visit our web site at http://www.barcap.com.
