The OSPF metric for a route is the sum of the interface costs for all outgoing interfaces in the route. By default, a router’s OSPF interface cost is actually derived from the interface bandwidth: The faster the bandwidth, the lower the cost.
What OSPF stands for and what is its metric?
The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol is one of a family of IP Routing protocols, and is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for the Internet, used to distribute IP routing information throughout a single Autonomous System (AS) in an IP network.
How is OSPF calculated?
OSPF uses the following formula to calculate the path cost when interface bandwidth is available: OSPF path cost = ((auto-cost × reference-bandwidth + interface bandwidth) -1) / interface bandwidth.
