Cisco's proprietary EIGRP is an advanced
distance-vector protocol that also employs the best features of link-state
routing. For the most part, EIGRP configuration is similar to configuring a
simple distance-vector protocol such as IGRP. However, like their link-state
counterparts, EIGRP routers use partial updates, special neighbor relationships,
and topological databases to provide optimal convergence. Sometimes called a
hybrid protocol, EIGRP is discussed thoroughly in Chapter 6.
