Hi Michael,
Could you elaborate a lil on how EIGRP uses Hop Count ?
AFAIK EIGRP uses BW (Lowest Along the Path) and Delay by default and could
use Reliability, Load and MTU (Track Only) for metric computation. From the
Distance Vector world, it uses Split horizon too but I am not aware of any
situations where EIGRP uses Hop count too.
Thanks
