What is it about this article that doesn't make sense? This question is open to anyone. Add examples of what you don't understand and someone may eventually rewrite that portion. I'm decently educated on how EIGRP works. I also teach to a certain degree and this article is geared more towards people who care how to calculate metrics than someone in passing who just wants to know what EIGRP is.

I agree with Sean.nobles. And I have to disagree with Thuresson's complaint. Articles of a technical nature should not necessarily be watered down to make sense to every class of
readers. The onus is to present as much of the most relevant information on the entry as possible. A non-technical reader who seems baffled by the internals of a routing protocol, might have their curiosity better
satiated in the entry on Routers themselves. It doesn't make sense if I stumble on a technical article on the advantages of a quantum tunneling technique photon pairing, that I complain of its inability to "explain"
things - even though it could be very well written, but i wouldn't know it, since I know nothing of its context or discourse - and even call it
"claptrap." Rather, I would just come to the conclusion that the article is more highly specialized than articles, say, on broader, subject headings, like computer communication networks, or internetworking,
or Routers, or photonics for that matter. [[User:Anon.]]
