Is Eigrp Cisco Only

EIGRP is a routing protocol that is proprietary to Cisco. Although Cisco submitted a portion of EIGRP to the IETF for consideration as a potential standard, the entire protocol has not been accepted as a standard and remains proprietary to Cisco.

Is EIGRP a CCNA?

EIGRP is not explicitly listed in the latest 200-301 version of the CCNA exam topics (whereas OSPF is) but you can still be tested on it in the exam. EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is an advanced distance vector routing protocol.

Why EIGRP is faster than OSPF?

The network convergence time is faster than OSPF networks, because EIGRP network can learn the topology information and updates more rapidly. The performance of packet delay variation for EIGRP is better than for OSPF.
