EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is a network protocol that helps routers within the same organization communicate efficiently. It automatically finds the best paths for data to travel across a network by evaluating speed, reliability, and cost. EIGRP quickly adapts to changes, such as a route failure, by updating other routers in real-time. This results in more stable, efficient, and faster data delivery, making it suitable for large and complex networks. Essentially, EIGRP is a smart map that guides data along the most efficient routes within an internal network.
