HI Desmond,
One example I could think about is to avoid Load balancing when there exist
two paths to a network under redistribution.
EIGRP
R1-------------- R2
OSPF
In the above topolgy if you are redistributing OSPF into EIGRP at both
R1 and R2 and you want to avoid load balancing between them then you might
use metric to prioratize one router over the other in the EIGRP domain( Ther
are other ways to achive this but this is just a easy example I could thiunk
about at this time BTW by default EIGRP load balances over 4 path).
Hope this helps you,
Thank you,
Venkatesh
