Detailed explanation-1: -One of the advantages of EIGRP is that, unlike OSPF and many other routing protocols, EIGRP also supports unequal-cost load balancing. You can set up your router to load balance over links with different metric to reach the destination. To accomplish unequal-cost load balancing, the variance command is used.
Detailed explanation-2: -Variance is a term that is used in the EIGRP routing protocol. EIGRP selects a successor route and if certain criteria is matched, one or more feasible successors. These feasible successors are not actively used unless you use the variance command.
Detailed explanation-3: -Just like OSPF or RIP, EIGRP can do load balancing, but it has one more trick in its hat. RIP and OSPF both can do load-balancing, but the paths have to be equal.
Detailed explanation-4: -To enable EIGRPv6 on a router interface, use the command ipv6 eigrp as on individual interfaces that will be part of the EIGRPv6 process.
