Hi Jacky,

For a route to be considered for unequal-cost load-sharing, it's metric must be strictly less than the best-metric * the variance.

In you case, only 3 paths will be advertised.

Cheers,
Paresh

Subject: "variance" in load balancing EIGRP

hi all,

from source router to destination router have 4 path, configure EIGRP
routing

path A: MetricA < mixMetric * variance
path B: MetricB = mixMetric * variance
path C: MetricC < mixMetric * variance
path D: MetricD < mixMetric * variance

(MetricD = minMetric)

in this case, MetricB=MinMetric*variance

Question: Router will load balancing 4 paths (A,B,C,D) or 3 paths (A,C,D)?
router choise the paths with metric lower than or equal mixMetric *
variance?

thank group,
Jacky
