EIGRP Metric Calculator

Compute the classic EIGRP composite metric from minimum bandwidth and total delay.

Min bandwidth (Kbps)Total delay (tens of usec)K preset

Custom K values change weighting; K5 (reliability) unsupported.

BW term1658031

Delay term5120000

Metric6778031

FormulaK1×BW + K3×Delay

How to read the result

Classic metric = K1×BW + K3×Delay, where BW=(10^7/minBWkbps)×256 and Delay=(tens-of-usec)×256.

Example

1544 Kbps + 20000 tens-usec → bandwidth and delay terms

FAQ

Custom K values?

This tool uses the default K1=K3=1 preset. Non-default K values change the weighting; K5 is unsupported here.

Why K5 unsupported?

K5 needs live reliability data, which the classic static formula cannot provide.
