Hi, can anyone please confirm if it is normal to have a RTO value of 5000 in
the output of a show ip eigrp neighbors. I seem to be seeing this in a lot
of devices. The RTO counter as defined means that "the amount of time that
EIGRP will wait to retransmit a reliable packet from the retransmission
queue." I have read examples and seen a couple of posts that lean towards
saying that this isn't good however I am not so certain if this is true or
not. There seem to be no problems on the links (not dropping any pings) and
the drop counters are not incrementing. The Q cnt is 0 which I am sure is
good. Could someone please confirm the RTO counter. Thx
