EIGRP K Values Formula

Hello Muhammad

The metric is the term used to refer to the cost of a particular route. EIGRP uses a specific formula to calculate this metric. So the result of the formula calculation is called the metric. There may be many metrics to reach a particular destination, because there are multiple routes to get there. Each one has a metric of its own.

Now the feasible distance is the BEST metric to the destination, and it is the metric of the route that is ultimately installed in the routing table.

As for usec, this is actually microseconds. The “u” at the beginning is used to indicate the Greek letter mu or μ. It looks kind of the same, but not quite. In any case, u is used to substitute for μ so instead of getting μs you get usec.

I hope this has been helpful!
