[AusNOG] Cisco Opens up EIGRP [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Tom Berryman]

EIGRP is great for customers with a few sites with multiple media types - very easy to deal with MTU differences for their internal IP space. About 6 months ago I moved our internal protocol to OSPF for multi-vendor support, the flexibly and control gain was the biggest win though. The pain was old Cisco 2800s that wouldn't take an MTU above 1500.
If I could maintain multi-vendor support and use EIGRP as a PE-CE protocol I would for sure.
Good on Cisco - but 5 years ago would have been great....

Hey ausNOG,
Long time lurker, first time contributer.

This was discussed a few weeks back.

Donnie Savage, author of the draft, happily spoke about it to me over email if others are interested. He had plenty of time to chat and discuss.
And following the conversations, Donnie retweeted a friends post of OSPF vs EIGRP. Something worth reading - http://keepingitclassless.net/2013/03/a-contest-of-protocols-eigrp-or-ospf/
It would be interesting to see what everyone thinks. I personally see it as a vein attempt to regain lost ground.

The draft itself isn't really clear about what Cisco has done or why.

The FAQ is here,
