Hi,
Just happened on this studying for CIT.
Looking at how Root bridges calculate their respective
costs using 10^9/Bandwidth.
If the BW = 100Mbit/s then the cost = 10 i.e
10^9/100*10^6 = 10.
Presumably if using a Gigabit link to root then the
cost would be 1.
My question is what will happen when Terrabit comes on
board ? if this answer is < 1. Will the output be in
floating point notation or will it be rounded to the
nearest integer ?
A cost of root of 0 and a cost to root of 0 could be
confusing.
Can anyone with a lab do a test with an E1/T1 link to
verify the output ? I would myself but i'm 130 miles
away from my lab.
I get E1 = 488.28125 on paper.
and T1 = 647.6684 for T1
Does the output just show as integer or as a float ?
Phil.
