In my experience its better to use the "delay" parameter to influence EIGRP routing than the "bandwidth".

Reasons I can think of:

- Bandwidth displays the real max throughput for documentation and reference.
- Your QoS config has to be changed each time to reroute traffic or have a bandwidth upgrade.
- The "ip bandwidth-percent eigrp" statement has to be updated each time you reroute traffic or have a bandwidth upgrade. :)
- Any others?

I'm not sure how the proctors evaluate the use of the "bandwidth" setting to influence the traffic flows.

Cheers,

Danny
