EIGRP not use HOP COUNT but have a 224 count limit!

AlexxZeta

To calculate EIGRP metric you can use this:

Metric EIGRP = [ K1 * Bandwidth + (K2 * Bandwidth)/(256-load) + K3*Delay ]*[K5/(reliability + K4)]

But WHY CISCO tell me that EIGRP have a HOP COUNT LIMIT?
Where you see hop count here?

Please explain me this concept..

The hopcount isn't used as a metric in EIGRP indeed, in this case it is used to limit the maximum diameter of an EIGRP network.
