EIGRP Packets explained

Hi Hussein,

When you use static neighbors, it’s 100% unicast. Here’s a capture where you can see this:

Here’s an example where we use the default neighbor discovery (multicast):

The initial (full) update messages are sent using unicast, the other update messages (partial updates) are sent with multicast. These are used for things like metric changes.
