Understanding EIGRP Hello Packet

EIGRP Hello Packet is a type of message exchanged between routers running the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. Hello packets contain information about the sending router, such as its EIGRP AS number, the subnet mask of its interfaces, and other parameters required for neighbor discovery and maintenance.
