If you use the formula's shown on the blog I gave the link below for you shouldn't have any problems. These are exact and never cause me problems.

There is no problem with the formula. IOS simply didn't take it out to the full number. You guys just need to think thru what is happening.

Delay = sum of all delays in the path in 10's of microseconds (multiplied) by 256 Bandwidth = [10 o the 7th power / (least bandwidth in kilobits per sec)] * 256 Metric = (bandwidth + delay) _____ From: amit chopra [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 10:10 AM To: Di Bias, Steve Cc: Tyson Scott; [email protected]; [email protected]; Marko Milivojevic Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] EIGRP unequal cost load Yes Steve , you are right , the result is same. it is alwyas werid becuase most of COD/VOD/Book give this formula and claim it will match but every now then when ever I study this topic I got a differnce in calculation. Look like we may miss something when we calculate metic with given formula.
