EIGRP question:

According to Cisco's website: "Feasible distance is the best metric along a
path to a destination network, including the metric to the neighbor
advertising that path. A feasible successor is a path whose reported
distance is less than the feasible distance."

But wouldn't a route with a distance less than the feasible distance be in
the routing table already, since it had a better metric?

It makes more sense to me that the feasible successor is a route with a
slightly larger metric than the current route. That way if the current route
dies, the next-best path is promoted.

But that's not what I'm reading at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp1.html#6

So . . . whaddya say?

Thanks, -Sean.
