That is a very good question, actual...Hi Sudharsan<br /><br />That is a very good question, actually the answer is very simple, NO! :-)<br /><br />And to explain a little:<br /><br />the k[1-5] values are used by the protocol for establishing a metric calculation method only, so it dose not effect the actual type or size of traffic. <br /><br />To summarize:<br /><br />k values are used to tweak the metric calculation to suit your needs from the routing protocol.cciep3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13741778062472103742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-7766171089072802132011-08-08T10:38:28.823+03:002011-08-08T10:38:28.823+03:00Hi Shiran,

However its a modifier which can affect the RELIABILITY in the composite metric calculation.<br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br />SudharsanSudharsan_Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099970493095193505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-15558928557943759872011-02-11T10:26:52.175+02:002011-02-11T10:26:52.175+02:00thank you....thank you....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940039361848619163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-65608811183802369962010-09-12T09:41:06.923+02:002010-09-12T09:41:06.923+02:00it was nice explanation..was always confused about...it was nice explanation..was always confused about eigrp metricUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061930430604948906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-5645299273029430602009-03-01T22:17:00.000+02:002009-03-01T22:17:00.000+02:00I was noted by one of the reader's that the delay ...I was noted by one of the reader's that the delay should be in tens of microseconds and not in microseconds as it shown under the interface, and that is technecly correct altough my point for the article was not to make the life more complicated then it is already. <BR/><BR/>Thank youcciep3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13741778062472103742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-19936870558015203182008-05-27T18:19:00.001+03:002008-05-27T18:19:00.001+03:00100000 KB = 100 Mb simple as that :-)100000 KB = 100 Mb simple as that :-)cciep3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13741778062472103742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-49292769002634774112008-05-27T18:19:00.000+03:002008-05-27T18:19:00.000+03:00100000 KB = 100 Mb simple as that :-)100000 KB = 100 Mb simple as that :-)cciep3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13741778062472103742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-78385295600974587602008-05-26T22:29:00.000+03:002008-05-26T22:29:00.000+03:00sir for R2->R3 AD, why is the bandwidth value is 1...sir for R2->R3 AD, why is the bandwidth value is 100000. both R2 & R3 uses 100mbps link? im just confused. thanks in advance :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830302193910028987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37948568.post-34816790521661627452007-12-14T18:23:00.000+02:002007-12-14T18:23:00.000+02:00Nice article..EIGRP metrics have always been a hea...Nice article..EIGRP metrics have always been a headache for me. ;-)beatbox32https://www.blogger.com/profile/13725507544544474766noreply@blogger.com
