Question : EIGRP variance command!!

Hi,

iam not understanding how this this variance  command works with load balancing "AT ALL" can you guys pls help me out?


If you can use an example or any good easy way i"ll appreciate this :)


Thanks++

Answer : EIGRP variance command!!

Sorry, I cant compute that sentence. ;)

Can you explain what you wanna know or what you dont understand?

Eigrp load-shares over multiple links with equal costs. When you use the variance-command you make eigrp load-share over unequal links as well.

Example. Router A and Router B has 2 parallell connections to each other. For simplicity lets say that one of the links has a thruput of 100Mbps and the other one has a thruput of 25Mbps. By default it sends all traffic over the 100Mbps-link and nothing on the other. If you add "variance 4" you simply tells eigrp to load-share the fastest link with parallell links that are as small as one fourth of the fastest link (100/4=25), that is links down to as little as 25Mbps. If the second link was 20Mbps "variance 4" wouldnt help since 20Mbps is less than 1/4 of 100Mbps, so you had to use "variance 5".

But all that is explained in the link I gave you.
