When configuring route redistribution you are able to set a default metric that will apply to all routes redistributed into a particular protocol. In the case of EIGRP there are parameters that must be set, these are bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, mtu. Although I understand these parameters and what they are where do you get these real world values? I understand that bandwidth is the minimum bandwidth of the route, but values like delay. Where are those values derived? In the Cisco Press BSCN book and also various others to include Sybex, they discuss these parameters but never mention where and how they are derived. I don't mean what is delay I know what that is, but how would an engineer determine what delay of a route or link is in a working environment. Or are these numbers in the book plucked from thin air.
