EIGRP ROUTING Characteristics

A classless version of IGRP. EIGRP includes several features that are not commonly found in other distance vector routing protocols like RIP (RIPv1 and RIPv2) and IGRP. These features include: Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP) Bounded Updates Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) Establishing Adjacencies Neighbor and Topology Tables Although EIGRP may act like a link-state routing protocol, it is still a distance vector routing protocol.

OSPF ROUTING Characteristics

Provides authentication of routing messages Enables load balancing by allowing traffic to be split evenly across routes with equal cost Type-of-Service routing allows to setup different routes dependent on the TOS field Supports subnetting Supports multicasting Allows hierarchical routing
