Cisco's Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
RFC 7868, “Cisco's Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol”, is an Informational document published in May 2016 by D. Savage, J. Ng, S. Moore, D. Slice, P. Paluch, R. White. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the protocol design and architecture for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). EIGRP is a routing protocol based on Distance Vector technology. The specific algorithm used is called "DUAL", a Diffusing Update Algorithm as referenced in "Loop-Free Routing Using Diffusing Computations" (Garcia-Luna-Aceves 1993). The algorithm and procedures were researched, developed, and simulated by SRI International.
