Developed in the mid-1980s by Cisco Systems |
Robust routing within a routing domain |
many organizations replaced RIP by IGRP (RIP is limited to small networks) |
IGRP works in IP networks and in CLNP (OSI ConnectionLess-Network Protocol) networks |
Enhanced IGRP replaced IGRP in early 1990s |
By default routing tables are updated every 90 sec |
IGRP has a number of features (hold-downs, split-horizons,poison-reverse updates) designed to enhance IGRP stability |
