Hi Bit,

BW + DLY, where the Bw(i) is the min bw and the Dly(i) is the sum of
delay

Rack1R1#$rp topology 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 | in
(from|bandwidth|delay) 164.1.12.2 (Serial0/0), from 164.1.12.2, Send
flag is 0x0
*Minimum bandwidth is 256 Kbit*
Total delay is 25100 microseconds
164.1.13.3 (Serial0/1), from 164.1.13.3, Send flag is 0x0
*Minimum bandwidth is 256 Kbit*
Total delay is 45100 microseconds

Eigrp load balance with a variance = 1, meaning that Equal Cost FD is
needed in order to accomplish load balancing

To get your ratio problem you will need (Composite Metric of R3) *5 =
(Composite Metric of R1)* 1
Need to manipulate the BW or the DLY (by default) to make this happens
{(10e7/minbw + dly/10) * 256} *5 = {(10e7/minbw + dly/10)*256}*1
Since you need that the FDs of the neighbors be in in the variance
factor, in order to do unequal load balancing

Try to clear you Routing Table a couple of time because you are only
installing one path to the destination and the AD from R1 < FD to R3

HTH

Group,

Following S32 of lab10 I got to the point of having a traffic share 5:1,
but
at the end real traffic goes out only from the best path S4/1.

Any idea why?

Thanks,

Luca
