What are the six factors used by EIGRP to calculate a route metric?

What will be an ideal response?


EIGRP, like IGRP, makes use of a composite metric comprised of six different factors:
• Hops-Number of routers between source and destination networks
• Load-The load on a link in the path
• Bandwidth-The speed of the link (default)
• Reliability-Measures reliability of a link with a scale of 0 to 255
• Delay-The delay of a link (default)
• MTU-The maximum datagram size allowed on a link

By default, the formula used for metric calculation in EIGRP is:
Metric = [(K1*Bandwidth + (K2*Bandwidth)/(256-load) + K3*Delay)*K5/(reliability + K4)]*256
