OSPF no hop limit link state have 2 know how to configure it bandwith is the metric supportes areas therefore scalls well supports area and net summarization supportes cidr, vlsm fast to converge supports demand cicuits standard based djikstra is the algo used in large environments
EIGRP advanced distance vector ( the way messages are sent, have only some similarity to link state protos) default hop limit 100 can be up to 255 supports IPX and Appletalk by default is faster to converge than OSPF, RIP1and2 and IGRP supports unequall path load balancing redistribute routes from IGRP with the same AS#. redistribute routes from RTMP redistribute routes from RIP IPX dual is the algo used mostely in cisco environments supports CIDR VLSM uses a reliable transport mechaanism very easy to configure but u have to know the default behavior ""Peter P"" a icrit dans le message de news: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > EIGRP easy to configure & optimised for Cisco kit.

Both carry subnet data and allow complex subnetting, route > summarisation but OSPF harder to configure.
