100,000,000 divided by Bandwidth.

How does OSPF calculate its metric or cost?

A: OSPF uses a reference bandwidth of 100 Mbps for cost calculation. The
formula to calculate the cost is reference bandwidth divided by interface
bandwidth. For example, in the case of Ethernet, it's 100 Mbps/10 Mbps = 10.

Note: If ip ospf cost <cost> is used on the interface, it overrides this
formulated cost.
