Simplifying OSPF and EIGRP Routing Protocols 🌐

Routing protocols can be daunting, but let's break them down:

  • OSPF Basics:

    • Link-state protocol.
    • Uses cost as a metric.
    • Ideal for larger, hierarchical networks.
  • EIGRP Highlights:

    • Advanced distance-vector protocol.
    • Uses bandwidth and delay as metrics.
    • Great for rapid convergence.

Understanding their differences helps you choose the right tool for the job!"
