Re: "variance" in load balancing EIGRP

Hi,

in my case: E-D-A with a metric of 40

    * E-B-A with a metric of 30
    * E-C-A with a metric of 20
    * E-D-A with a metric of 40 <*********

variance = 2

This increases the minimum metric to 40 (2 * 20 = 40)

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

Thanks,
Jacky
