Large hube and spoke EIGRP network, which solution would be for resource minimal usage?
The correct answer is A. stub routing. EIGRP stub routing is specifically designed to minimize resource usage in hub-and-spoke topologies. When spoke routers are configured as stubs, they advertise only their connected/summary routes and cannot be used as transit paths. Most importantly, stubs suppress EIGRP Query…

Explanation
EIGRP stub routing is specifically designed to minimize resource usage in hub-and-spoke topologies. When spoke routers are configured as stubs, they advertise only their connected/summary routes and cannot be used as transit paths. Most importantly, stubs suppress EIGRP Query propagation - the hub does not send Queries to stub spokes, which dramatically reduces CPU, memory, and bandwidth consumption. Route summarization also helps but does not control Query propagation, so stub routing is the more resource-efficient solution.
