| Can anyone explain to me what a metric of TCP/IP is and how they come up
with the numbers of assigning them? Thank you.

| The Metric is the number of hops to the destination. Anything on the local
LAN is one hop and each router crossed after that is an additional hop. The
Metric is used to determine the best route.

| Its almost like a cost. You want to get to a destination. There are 2
routes. One has a metric of 2 and the other has a metric of 10. You choose
2.

| Depends on the protocol i.e. rip=hops, igrp=ticks+hops,
ospf=bandwidth&delay,. Different prot's have different "issues". :-)
