question about calculating eigrp metric
see show ip route output below.
using the following formula to calculate the metric:
[(10000000/min bandwidth) +(cumulative delay/10)] _256
I come out with 6743405 for the metric.
the router comes up with 6743296.
Am I being too picky? probably yes, but isn't metric calculation supposed to be an exact science?
