I have looked at the docs and have read up on this command. Yet, I am still
unclear as to where this command would be necessary. It seems to me that you
could just adjust the bandwidth and delay on the interfaces to affect its
routing decisions. Also, I think I understand that this command allows you
to tell IGRP to use other metrics besides bandwidth and delay when making
routing decisions, but why then can you manipulate it so drastically- see
below

r2(config)#router igrp 50
r2(config-router)#metric weights ?
  <0-8> Type Of Service (Only TOS 0 supported)

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 ?
  <0-4294967295> K1

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 1 ?
  <0-4294967295> K2

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 1 1 ?
  <0-4294967295> K3

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 1 1 1 ?
  <0-4294967295> K4

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 1 1 1 1 ?
  <0-4294967295> K5

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 1 1 1 1 1 ?
  <cr>

r2(config-router)#metric weights 0 1 1 1 1 1

any insights?
thanks,
