Hi Jacky,
'Strictly less' means 'less than', and not 'less than or equal to'.
So in your case, the path with a metric of 40 will NOT be considered for unequal-cost load-sharing.
HTH,
Paresh.

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
