What Is K Value Eigrp

EIGRP K values. EIGRP uses a composite metric and K-values to calculate the preferred path to a destination.

How do you calculate EIGRP metric and K values?

  1. Metric = [K1*bandwidth + ((K2*bandwidth)/(256-load))+K3*delay]
  2. Metric = Metric*[K5/(reliability+K4)]
  3. Metric = bandwidth (slowest link) + delay (sum of delays)
  4. Metric = (107 / minimum bandwidth) * 256 + (sum of delays) * 256.

What are EIGRP metrics?

EIGRP determines the value of the path using five metrics: bandwidth, load, delay, reliability and MTU. EIGRP uses Five different messages to communicate with its neighbor routers. EIGRP messages are Hello, Update, Query, Reply, and Acknowledgement.
