(Advanced Distant Vector Routing protocol"Hybrid")
(Dose not know about all links in area "unlike OSPF/ISIS")
Uses Three Table to function (Neighbour Topology & Routing)
Neighbour Table contains all current Neightbours and there current status
Router#show ip eigrp 1 neighbours
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 1note: show ip eigrp 1 neighbours ( 1 is the AS ID and can change depending on config but must be the same between routers)
H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq
(sec) (ms) Cnt Num
0 10.0.0.3 Fa0/0 14 00:56:23 74 444 0 3
KEY:
- H is the order in which the neighbours were discovered
- IP Address of neighbour
- Interface on which the Hello was received
- Hold Time in seconds
- Up Time i.e. how long the neighbour has been up
- Smooth Round Trip Time (SRTT) - the average time in milliseconds between the transmission of a packet to a neighbour and the receipt of an acknowledgement.
- Retransmission Timeout (RTO) - if a multicast has failed, then a unicast is sent to that particular router, the RTO is the time in milliseconds that the router waits for an acknowledgement of that unicast.
- Queue - shows the number of queued packets.
- Sequence Number of the last EIGRP packet received.

Metric
K Values (have to match between neighbours to Successfully form relationship)
you can find the routers K Values by running:
Router#show ip protocols
This command shows you allot more than just K values so will make a section for it.
Cisco only uses K1 & K2
Default Metric = 256*(K1 + K3).
Full Metric = 256*([K1*Bw + K2*Bw/(256-Load) + K3*Delay]*[K5/(Reliability + K4)]).
K1 = Bandwith = 10^7/Bandwith (Bandwith is the min of any link in a route)
K2 = Load
K3 = Delay = (Link A + Link B + Link C /10)
K4 = Reliabilaty
K5 = MTU
