Examples
EIGRP has completely replaced IGRP, making IGRP an obsolete routing protocol.
This way, redistributing information between EIGRP and IGRP involves simply dividing or multiplying the metric value by a factor of 256, which is done automatically.
By default, the IGRP composite metric is a sum of the segment delays and the lowest segment bandwidth.
Cisco has ceased support and distribution of IGRP in their router software.
IGRP was created in part to overcome the limitations of RIP (maximum hop count of only 15, and a single routing metric) when used within large networks.
While EIGRP still uses a distance-vector model, it relates to IGRP only in using the same routing metrics.
