Since we were talking a little about OSPF today, I'd like to pose a question. When it comes to Path Types, Cisco uses E2's by default rather than E1's. Can someone tell me why? If E1's include the cost of the path to the ASBR that is distributing that route information into the autonomous system why wouldn't we want to know the entire cost of the path? Not knowing the internal path can lead to you taking a higher cost internal path if that path has a lower external cost. Doyle uses an example in his TCP/IP book (p. 489) that shows exactly such a situation occurring. Why would Cisco default to E2's if that could lead to sub optimal routing?
