Which Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) packet is NOT sent reliably over the network?
A.
Update
B.
Query
C.
Reply
D.
Acknowledgement
Explanation:
Acknowledgement packets are sent unreliably over the network, and there is no guaranteed delivery of acknowledgement packets between neighboring routers.
Acknowledgement packets are a special type of hello packets that do not contain data and have a non-zero acknowledgement number. These are sent as a unicast.
Update, Query, and Reply packets use Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP), which ensures guaranteed delivery of packets between neighboring devices. The RTP
mechanism ensures loop-free synchronized network.
