I read that too.......and thats fine and great..........but when they
follow that sentence with: "because the cost will always be lower" thats
when I get confused. And I quote from Coriolis Exam Cram p.208 para.1
"OSPF type 1 routes are always preferred over type 2 routes for the same
destination, because the cost will always be lower"
I don't see how the cost is lower, thats what confuses me
