As its name suggests, EIGRP is an enhancement of Cisco’s Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP). Cisco’s main purpose in developing EIGRP was to create a classless version of IGRP. EIGRP also includes several features that are not commonly found in other distance-vector routing protocols, such as IGRP and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
