This is a limit on how much of the link EIGRP will use. &nbsp;If you allow EIGRP to consume all of the bandwidth you could saturate your link so other traffic won't be able to pass.<br />
<br />
The link will pass traffic at 1Gbps, but EIGRP will only use 500Mbps for EIGRP traffic.

so that's automatic. EIGRP will use 50% of the available bandwidth .<br />
We do not have to configure anything to make it use 50%

just for confirmation..<br />
Eigrp will use 50% of the Bandwidth of any interface type ( Serial,Ethernet,Fastethern<wbr />et,etc...)<wbr /> ?

<div>
and will this apply for any type of connection or just when it comes to Frame-Relay type of connection ?

It applies to any interface type.

I have read about EIGRP, but I cannot understand how Bandwidth is used. in some articles , they say:<br />
&quot;By default, EIGRP is set to use only up to 50 percent of the bandwidth&quot;<br />
<br />
I am not sure what this means ? if I have gigabyte link then , if the router uses EIGRP, then only 50% will be used?<br />
<br />
Any clarification on this ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

EIGRP Bandwidth

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

EIGRP

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.
