Reworking
Hello to anyone. I have partially reworked the article on December 26th (from IP address 158.193.152.134, just forgot to log in). I would like to hear anyone's suggestions to article contents, completeness and clarity. There are still crucial parts missing:
- description of diffusing computations as proposed by Dijkstra and Scholten
- description of the DUAL finite state machine itself
- description of the overall EIGRP algorithm
- What else?
I am planning to add those in due time. Paluchpeter 16:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Maximum EIGRP Hop Count
I've seen a lot of conflicting arguments regarding what the actual maximum hop count for EIGRP is, to the point where I was watching a snippet of a video from Train Signal on EIGRP and the instructor, Chris Bryant CCIE #12933, mentioned that he's seen arguments on the net about it (even discrepancies in Cisco's own documentation). In the video, he shows that the router itself claims that the maximum hop count is 100, not 220; he runs the "show ip protocols" command on a Cisco 2500 I believe. I did the same on my Cisco871w ISR and got the same output:
- R1#show ip protocols
- Routing Protocol is "eigrp 100"
- Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set
- Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set
- Default networks flagged in outgoing updates
- Default networks accepted from incoming updates
- EIGRP metric weight K1=1, K2=0, K3=1, K4=0, K5=0
- EIGRP maximum hopcount 100
- EIGRP maximum metric variance 1
(I bulleted each line of the snippet of that output so that it retained its original formatting) - I suppose that this is something that should probably be checked. Daedalus01 17:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
