hat differentiates it from OSPF. It doesn't make sense why they wouldn't abandon the idea of distance vector and just call it link-state. Thanks in Advance, Fred >From: "Howard C. Berkowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Howard C. Berkowitz" <[EM

I expect there to be many excellent responses to this, but I'll start off with a mediocre one. :-) Distance vector and link state routing protocols primarily differ in three ways: how they notify their neighbors of the routes they know about, how they go about building their own routing table ou

"Hybrid" routing protocol is a marketing term, not a technical one, which is an attempt to differentiate EIGRP from older distance vector, and standards-based link state, protocols. EIGRP uses the Diffusing Update algorithm invented by JJ Garcia-Luna-Aceves while he was at Stanford Research In

2001-01-31 Thread Fred Danson
Hi I just a general question about routing protocols, if anyone could help me out here I'd be grateful. When comparing EIGRP to Distance Vector routing protocols, like RIP, the only similarity that I noticed was that the network statements are both classful. Is this the only characte
