What is the formula for EIGRP wide style metric throughput?

Throughput = (65536 * 10^7)/bandwidth_min (kbits/sec)

Which components can be used for the extended metrics?

  • jitter
  • Energy
  • Quiescent Energy

What is the formula for EIGRP latency for > 1 Gpbs without bandwith/delay command configured?

10^13/Default Bandwidth interface (kbits/sec)

How is latency/delay calculated for physically interfaces without default delay configured?

10^7*the delay value

What is the formula for EIGRP latency configured with delay and bandwidth setting?

10^7 X value of the delay command (in ten of microseconds)

What is the formula for Wide Metrics?

Wide Metric = 65535 (( K1 X (10^7/bandwith_min)) + (k3 (Delay_interface/10^6)))
