EIGRP NOTES part 2

Queries
When a router loses its succesor and has no feasible successors, it will query all remaining neighbors for
a new route. Queries are recursive and will be forwarded to other neighbors until either a route is found,
or a summarization boundary is reached.
Stuck in Active (SIA) - Queries which do not return a route before the active timer expires (usually 3
minutes), the router is considered stuck in active mode.

EIGRP Tables
Neighbor table
Stores information about neighboring EIGRP routers:
Network address (IP)
Connected interface
Holdtime - how long the router will wait to receive another HELLO before dropping the
neighbor; default = 3 * hello timer
Uptime - how long the neighborship has been established
Sequence numbers
Retransmission Timeout (RTO) - how long the router will wait for an ack before retransmitting
the packet; calculated by SRTT
Smooth Round Trip Time (SRTT) - time it takes for an ack to be received once a packet has
been transmitted
Queue count - number of packets waiting in queue; a high count indicates line congestion

Topology table
Holds all routes received from neighbors, is built from updates, calculated by DUAL, and contains all the information required by the routing table

Routing table
Route types:
Internal - Paths directly within EIGRP
Summary - Internal paths which have been summarized
External - Routes redistributes into EIGRP

EIGRP NOTES

Supports routed protocols like IP and IPv6 via protocol-dependent modules
Uses Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP, Cisco proprietary) for some traffic (updates, queries,
and replies)
Uses hellos to identify/monitor neighbors
Uses the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) to select routes
EIGRP is IP protocol 88.
EIGRP supports proportional unequal-cost load-balancing among feasible routes.

Packet types
Hello - Identify neighbors, sent as periodic multicasts
Update - Advertises routes, only sent when there is a change, multicast to 224.0.0.10
Ack - Acknowledges receipt of an update
Query - Used to query routes from neighbors (multicast; unicast attempted up to 16 times if
multicast gets no response)
Reply - Used to answer a query (unicast)

Metric calculation
Metric = 256 * (K1 * bandwidth + ( (K2 * bandwidth) / (256 - load) ) + K3 * delay) * ( K5 / (reliability +
K4))
K values are used to distribute weight to different path aspects:
bandwidth - Defined as 107 divided by the speed of the slowest link in the path, in Kbps
load - 8-bit value, not considered by default
reliability - 8-bit value, not considered by default
delay - constant value associated with interface type; EIGRP uses the sum of all delays in the
path
K defaults: K1 = 1, K2 = 0, K3 = 1, K4 = 0, K5 = 0
K values can be manipulated by an admin, but routers must have matching K values to become
neighbors

DUAL
Advertised distance - Cost advertised by a neighbor to get to a destination
Feasible distance - Advertised distance + cost get to that neighbor
The feasibility requirement states "if my neighbor's advertised distance is less than my feasible
distance, the path will be loop free."
Successor - The neighbor with the best path
Feasible successor - All other neighbors which meet the feasibility requirement
Split-horizon - A network is not advertised on the link from which was learned.

SimplePHPBlog
Many people ask me which blogging software I am using.Here I will explain about which software I have used.I am using SimplePHPblog software which is freely available.It does not use database and stores the files in text formats and retrieves the data from them and shows it in the browser.
You can download it from the sourceforge link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sphpblog/
Documentation for the simplephpblog is available at
http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ ... Manual.pdf

As of now there website which was online is closed www.simplephpblog.com and I think no future updates will be provided.

But as it does not require the database you can start your blog with low investment.If you would like to own a blog other than hosting it on blogger.com or wordpress.com then this is a good choice.I started my blog at an initial investment of Rs 1000/-INR ( $20) two and half years ago.

But my favorite for blogging software is wordpress.You can download it from wordpress.org.It provides lots of themes,plugins,widgets for customization and you can have it customized as you want.
