Q. If there are two EIGRP processes that run and two equal paths are
learned, one by each EIGRP process, do both routes get installed?
*A.* No, only one route is installed. The router installs the route that was
learned through the EIGRP process with the lower Autonomous System (AS)
number. In Cisco IOS Software Releases earlier than 12.2(7)T, the router
installed the path with the latest timestamp received from either of the
EIGRP processes. The change in behavior is tracked by Cisco bug ID
CSCdm47037.
