Understanding EIGRP Metric

EIGRP Metric is a value calculated by the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to determine the best path to a destination network. It is based on various factors such as bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability of the network link. The EIGRP Metric helps routers select the most efficient route among multiple paths in order to optimize network traffic flow.
