I guess what I am saying ( after reading Howard's response ) is that cost IS
the metric that OSPF uses

Again, metric is jut a measure. RIP uses hop counts for the metric. OSPF
uses cost. (E)IGRP uses a composite consisting of bandwidth, delay, load,
reliability, and MTU as it's metric. ( or "measure" )

Helps?

 So what your telling me that the Cost is the same as the Metric? Cost, is
it
what the link is ( like Ethernet would be a 10? and a 56K circuit would be
say 1000 ) and a metric would be the cost added upto the destination? or the
best route to take.
