Page "Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol" Paragraph 4

* Topology Table: Confusingly named, this table does not store an overview of the complete network topology ; rather, it effectively contains only the aggregation of the routing tables gathered from all directly connected neighbors.

This table contains a list of destination networks in the EIGRP-routed network together with their respective metrics.

Also for every destination, a successor and a feasible successor are identified and stored in the table if they exist.

Every destination in the topology table can be marked either as " Passive ", which is the state when the routing has stabilized and the router knows the route to the destination, or " Active " when the topology has changed and the router is in the process of ( actively ) updating its route to that destination.
