Successor, Feasible Successor, and Feasible Distance
DUAL relies on three closely related concepts to decide which route goes in the routing table and which routes stand ready as instant backups. This guide defines each one precisely, works through a real Feasibility Condition check using the same topology and numbers established in How to Calculate EIGRP Metric, and covers how OSPF’s fundamentally...
Introduction to EIGRP
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) was introduced by Cisco in 1992 as an advanced distance-vector routing protocol, originally running only on Cisco devices. It remained Cisco-proprietary for over two decades before becoming an open, multi-vendor standard — a milestone worth getting the date right on, since it’s commonly misstated. From Proprietary Protocol to Open...
