IGRP vs EIGRP | difference between IGRP and EIGRP
This page on IGRP vs EIGRP describes basic difference between IGRP and EIGRP routing protocol types.
IGRP | EIGRP |
---|---|
Its full form is Interior Gateway Routing Protocol | Its full form is Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol |
It is a distance vector protocol. | It is derived from Integrated Gateway Routing Protocol. |
The metrics used are bandwidth, load, delay, MTU and reliability | The metrics used are bandwidth, delay, load and reliability |
IGRP uses the distance vector algorithm to calculate the best path and the variance mechanism to support unequal cost & load balancing. | EIGRP uses diffusing update algorithm to calculate the best path. |
IGRP does not support areas or tables, but supports multi-part routing. | Routing with EIGRP protocol is done using neighbor tables, topology tables and routing tables |
Maximum hop count for IGRP routed packets is 255. Default is 100. | Maximum hop count is 255. |
