Hi there Jim and Shadi,

I haven't seen any replies to your question - so, in case nobody has given you
a
better description of this I'll have a go.

NX 97 [45][14/02][09/01] via 300.0000.0000.0001, 697s, Se0/1

This is an external NLSP route (NX) - redistributed from another protocol or
NLSP area. The [45] is the cumulative nlsp metric to network 97, the [14/02] i
s
the tick/hop count to the first area boundary along the route, the [09/01] is
the tick/hop count to the second area boundary or redistributing router.

I have worked this out from testing. If you find an authoritive source I would
appreciate you passing it on.

HTH,
Richard.
