Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 35

What significant advantage does EIGRP have over OSPF?

Answer options

• A. easy summarization
• B. shorter convergence times
• C. single area operation
• D. low processor utilization

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because EIGRP is known for its faster convergence times due to its DUAL algorithm, which allows for rapid route recalculation. Options A, C, and D are advantages of EIGRP, but they are not as significant as the speed of convergence, which is critical in dynamic networks.
