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
The key words here are Feasible Distance and Advertised Distance, or in
this case, reported distance. The FD is the metric for the current
path. If we have two neighbors who are reporting that they can reach
that network, both will be advertising what *their* FD is, which from
our perspective
Excellent description John. Reinforced my understanding of FD and AD

An interesting addendum is that this behavior is important to consider
when attempting to use the variance command to influence path selection.
I was configuring a variance scenario once and it wasn't working
despite all my efforts. It wasn't working because I didn't understand
this issue well

Tom, I agree with your assessment of John's response, but I have to
share a story. kc Claffy (her spelling) is one
Great example, however let me make sure that we all aware of the
terminologies, and correct me if I am wrong:
Feasible Successor's are next-hop routers that advertise a routes towarads a
given destination
Successor\s are the choosen next-hop router\s towards a given destination
Feasible
The moral of the story: Get better drugs and you don't need external

Oops, excuse me, I'm having flashbacks to the 60's. The name
