Re: OSPF Path selection question

Mohamed,

E1 routes increment throughout the network. So from your topology, you must
add the cost of the links between R5 and R4 and R2 as well. What's the total
metric of each link? Have you looked the entries of the OSPF database? What
other troubleshooting have you done?
