Routing Protocols: EIGRP and RIPv2....

Why have EIGRP and RIPv2 replaced IGRP and RIP?

This is a question for my class so you don't have to give me a direct answer, but where can I go to look up this kind of stuff? Everywhere I go (google, etc) they basically say "EIGRP and RIPv2 have enhanced capabilities"

thanks for any help in advance,

tim
 
igrp and rip are classfull protocols. They have not knowledge of subnets or subnetting.

EIGRP and RIPv2 are classless routing protocols. For each route and route updates subnet information is exchanged as well.
 
well that's certainly useful since with classfull IP addressing we were concerned with the Internet running out of IP addresses.

thanks spidey07...i was reading your posts to help out JEDI too, good stuff and i'm learning a lot between class and the AT Network forum
 
Use OSPFv2. EIGRP is a propritary dead protocol, and RIPv2 is a protocol that needs to be dead but won't go away.
