EIGRP Part 7: The Metric Weighs and Goodbye messages

The Metric Weighs EIGRP uses the metric weights to determine how much importance to give a particular value when calculating route metrics. The k-values, in order: K1: bandwidth K2: load K3: delay K4: reliability K5: MTU By default, EIGRP takes bandwidth and delay into consideration (equally) when calculating route metrics and ignores the other values.   […]

Autosummarization occurs when routes are advertised across classful network boundaries. That doesn’t sound all that bad, but when you have […]
