What is the Feasible Successor in EIGRP and How is it Determined?

Feasible Successor in EIGRP is a route that can replace the current successor route in the routing table if the successor route fails. It is determined based on the EIGRP algorithm's feasibility condition.

Feasible Successor is identified by having a lower advertised distance to a specific network than the current successor route. The feasibility condition states that for a route to be considered a feasible successor, its reported distance must be less than the feasible distance of the current successor route.

This determination of the feasible successor in EIGRP helps in providing route redundancy and faster convergence in case of network failures.

It is essential to understand the concept of feasible successor in EIGRP to optimize routing performance and ensure network reliability.
