What is the difference between EIGRP and OSPF?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) EIGRP (Cisco proprietary, DUAL algorithm) is faster but vendor-locked; OSPF (open standard, Dijkstra) is widely supported and scalable for multi-vendor networks
B
Correct Answer
EIGRP (Cisco proprietary, DUAL algorithm) is faster but vendor-locked; OSPF (open standard, Dijkstra) is widely supported and scalable for multi-vendor networks
Explanation
EIGRP uses a composite metric (bandwidth, delay, reliability) and DUAL algorithm — fast convergence. OSPF is an open standard supporting VLSM, areas for scalability, and multi-vendor interoperability.
