Packet Tracer - Comparing RIP and EIGRP Path Selection Topology Objectives Part 1: Predict the Path Part 2: Trace the Route Part 3: Reflection Questions Scenario PCA and PCB need to communicate. The path that the data takes between these end devices can travel through R1, R2, and R3, or it can travel through R4 and R5. The process by which routers select the best path depends on the routing protocol. We will examine the behavior of two distance vector routing protocols, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2). Part 1: Predict the Path Metrics are factors that can be measured. Routing protocols are each designed to consider various metrics when considering which route is the best to send data along. These metrics include, hop count, bandwidth, delay, reliability, path cost, and more. Step 1: Consider ElGRP Metrics. a. EIGRP can consider many metrics. By default, however, bandwidth and delay are used to determine best path selection. b. Based on the metrics, what path would you predict data would take from PCA to PCB? Step 2: Consider RIP Metrics. a. What metric(s) are used by RIP? b. Based on the metrics, what path would you predict data would take from PCA to PCB?
