when there is a low bandwidth connection
EIGRP will use up to 50 percent of the bandwidth of a link, as defined by the bandwidth interface configuration command. This command may be used if some other fraction of the bandwidth is desired. Note that values greater than 100 percent may be configured. The configuration option may be useful if the bandwidth is set artificially low for other reasons.ExamplesThe following example allows EIGRP to use up to 75 percent (42 kbps) of a 56-kbps serial link in autonomous system 209:interface serial 0bandwidth 56ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 209 75

IGRP uses a single composite metric based on bandwidth and delay, while EIGRP uses a composite metric including bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, and MTU. EIGRP also allows for variance in metric calculation to enable load balancing across unequal path costs.
Add the command no auto-summary on all routers.Change the network statements to include a wildcard mask.Adjust the EIGRP hello timers to account for the network delay.Add the command eigrp log-neighbor-changes on all routers.
The bandwidth and delay interface variables are used to determine the metric in EIGRP. These values are used in the calculation of the composite metric that EIGRP uses to determine the best path to a destination.
By propagating only routing table changes and hello packets

Compared to RIP, EIGRP has a lower administrative distance. Compared to EIGRP, RIP has a higher metric value for the route. Compared to RIP, the EIGRP route has fewer hops. Compared to RIP, EIGRP has a faster update timer.
