EIGRP SRTT and RTO values are excessive

[kfarrington]

All,

I know how to fix this problem but can anyone give me an explination why this happens. (highlighted by *.)

LDRD1A01>sh ip eigrp nei

IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 69

H Address Interface Hold Uptime *SRTT * RTO Q Seq

(sec) (ms) Cnt Num

5 10.10.11.150 Et0 13 00:21:36 *1360 *5000 0 930838

Many thx

the SRTT interval is the amount of time it takes a packet to be sent to a neighbor and an acknowledgement to be received from your local router. If you beleive this number is high , I would investigate latency on the wire.

the RTO is the amount of time the software waits prior to retansmitting a packet from the retansmit queue to a neighnor.
