The Bandwidth statement is also used to determine the Load stats in "sh
int". If it is set for, say 64 on a circuit that is clocked at 1544,
then the load on the circuit can be greater than 255/255.

That being the case, wouldn't the erroneous load cause issues with IGRP
and EIGRP, assuming that the load metric is used?
