Hi Sugam,
From what I know EIGRP does not use hop count in metric, but max is 100
default which is limiting size of EIGRP AS. Can be set to 220 using metric
max hop ommand. One another reason why I can see the hop count being used
is bcoz EIGRP has a multiprotocol support meaning supports IPX and
Appletalk.
IPX RIP deviates from IP RIP in its route selection rules; the hop count
used in IP RIP has been augmented by delays (also called ticks), which take
precedence over the hop count. Routes with lower cumulative delays are
considered better, and the hop count is used only as a tiebreaker when the
delay of two routes is the same.
HTH.
Kasturi.
