Protocol-dependent modules |
The modular design is one of the most attractive features of EIGRP.
Modular designs prove to be the most scalable and adaptable.
Support for routed protocols such as IP, IPX, and AppleTalk is
included in EIGRP through protocol-dependent modules (PDMs). In
theory, EIGRP can easily adapt to new or revised routed protocols by
adding protocol-dependent modules.
Each PDM is responsible for all functions related to its specific routed protocol. The IP-EIGRP module is responsible for the following:
