Hi,
i was wondering if any one has some average statistices for the EIGRP Updates, Queries, and replies in a avarage network with a 260 routes in the routing tables.
Below are are my statistices. I feel they are pretty much high....can any one confirm?

There's no "normal" for these types of numbers.
That said, it does look odd that you have almost as many queries as you have updates--it does seem like you have a lot of active states on this specific router. What I would do is take an occassional look at the EIGRP event log, and see what's there. If you see a single route going active quite a bit, then you might want to chase down why that route is active so often, and see what can be done to fix it. If you see a lot of routes going active, then passive, on a regular basis, I would chase down one route, and if nothing shows up there, try and find some common element for all the routes--a single link through which they all pass, or a single router, etc. Then see if you can figure out why that link or router might be bouncing a lot, or look for problems in that area.
The EIGRP event log is probably the most important piece of information you have for monitoring the health of your network on a regular basis....
HTH.
