EIGRP uses which algorithm to build a routing table?

The correct answer is C. Diffusing Update Algorithm. EIGRP uses DUAL (Diffusing Update Algorithm) to select loop-free paths and determine the best route (successor) and backup routes (feasible successors). DUAL guarantees loop-free paths at every instant during route computation and enables fast convergence by allowing routers to…

Explanation

EIGRP uses DUAL (Diffusing Update Algorithm) to select loop-free paths and determine the best route (successor) and backup routes (feasible successors). DUAL guarantees loop-free paths at every instant during route computation and enables fast convergence by allowing routers to use pre-computed feasible successors immediately upon topology changes. Dijkstra's algorithm is used by link-state protocols like OSPF and IS-IS, while Bellman-Ford is used by distance-vector protocols like RIP.
