Description: Monitoring overload in EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) refers to the practice of tracking and analyzing the load that a router supports in a network using this routing protocol. EIGRP is an advanced routing protocol developed by Cisco that combines features of link-state and distance-vector protocols. Overload refers to the amount of resources a router uses to process and maintain routing tables, as well as to manage routing updates. Monitoring this overload is crucial to ensure optimal network performance, as excessive overload can lead to service degradation, latency in data transmission, and, in extreme cases, router failure. Monitoring tools allow network administrators to identify bottlenecks and optimize routing configurations by adjusting parameters such as update time and routing table size. This monitoring is carried out through various metrics, such as CPU usage, memory, and network traffic, enabling proactive and efficient management of network infrastructure.
