Subject: RE: EIGRP Composite Metric Calculation
Hi Guys,
This is a spreadsheet for calculation that I recieved from one our SEs
that put this together from a networkers presentation. This shows all
the calcuations.
HTH,

Hi John,
If the BW is 10,000kbps and the cumulative delay is 7000
microseconds, you get the following:
Metric = 256*(10^7/10^4) + 256*7000/10
= 256*1000 + 256 * 700
= 256000 + 179200
= 435200
which matches with what you are seeing...
Note that the delay value you use is in tens of microseconds, so
you have to divide the value by 10 before using it in the formula.
HTH,
Paresh.

Thanks for the help!
On R1, the delay for 172.16.1.0/24 is 1000ms, the bandwidth is
10000kb.
The outgoing interface on R2 is the same.
The network 172.16.1.0/24 is actually the Loopba! ck interface 0
on R3. This
interface shows delay=5000ms and the bandwidth= 8,000,000kb.
