EIGRP beats them all

I would argue that IS-IS also separates the men from the boys, is an open standard, and also happens to be protocol-neutral.
I have my own opinions about IGPs, of course, but I agree with Alex on this one...nobody asked for my opinion on using EIGRP, so I'll save it until they do. :)

I probably bleed Cisco more than most on this list, something about that two day test 16 years ago.
I’ll just say one thing about routing protocols.
BGP.
Yes, it *is* as good running as an IGP as it is as an EGP. And separates the men from the
boys, so to speak.

If you want good support from any software, you should not use "proprietary" protocols and use something supported by more than one or 2 vendor.
Another option, use it and buy expensive software from that vendor.

Perhaps we would do better not to tell people how to run their network…
We do not know anything about the network in question beyond the fact that it is probably monitored with Observium.
Also Cisco released basic EIGRP functionality for other vendors to implement in a RFC.
So the real question is not “why?” but “is this supported in Observium?”.. and the real answer is “no”.

HuH,
The real question is Why ? Ospf can be used with all vendor, eigrp .. not compatible unless you have a cisco network and other clone equipment.
Ospf is widely supported and even with software like Observium. You can expect to have bad or no support using EIGRP

I've been running OSPF but am changing to EIGRP. EIGRP isn't showing in the routing section when I look at devices.
