Multiple choice

Which of the following statements describes the bounded updates used by EIGRP?

  1. Bounded updates are sent to all routers within an autonomous system.

  2. Partial updates are sent only to routers that need the information.

  3. The updates are sent to all routers in the routing table.

  4. Updates are bounded by the routers in the topology table.

B Correct answer
Explanation

EIGRP sends bounded (partial) updates only to routers affected by a topology change, not to all routers in the autonomous system. This conserves bandwidth and speeds convergence by limiting unnecessary processing. Updates propagate only where needed through the EIGRP topology table.
