Hello packets OSPF uses small hello packets to verify link operation with out tr
ansferring large tables
TOS routing OSPF can route packets by different criterion based on their type of
service field

EIGRP key capabilities that distinguish it from other routing protocols include:
Fast convergence a router stores all its neighbors routing tables so that it can
quickly adapt to alternate routes.
Variable length subnet mask
it supports variable length subnet masks permits rou
tes to be automatically summarized on a network.
Support for partial updates EIGRP sends partial updates when the metric for a ro
ute changes. Propagation of partial updates is automatically bounded so that onl
y those routers that need the information are updated.
Support for multiple network layer protocols EIGRP supports AppleTalk which redi
stributes routes learned from RTMP, IP redistributes routes learned from OSPF an
d RIP, ISIS, EGP, and BGP, and Novell NetWare implementation redistributes route
s learned from Novell RIP or SAP.
