The default EIGRP metric uses five key factors in its calculation: bandwidth, reliability, delay (or latency), MTU (maximum transmission unit) size, and hop count. The default EIGRP metric paints a picture of the entire path between two routers, taking into account all of these five criteria. It is configured as an additive composite which is calculated as 256x [(k1 x bandwidth) + (k2 x delay) + (k3 x reliability) + (k4 x load) + (k5 x hop count)] where k1–k5 are the values of weights specific to each metric, multiplied by the corresponding value of that metric in the path.
