EIGRP Notes - Unequal Cost Path Load Balancing

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Per the standard rules, please correct anything that’s wrong.

One of EIGRP’s big features is the ability to use unequal cost paths for load balancing. This is done with the variance command.

variance : A multiplier used to calculate which feasible successors can be used as active routes. The router takes integer and multiplies it by the successor’s feasible distance, and any FS with a an FD less than this new number gets submitted to the routing table manager.
