The Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI 642-901) is a qualifying exam for the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP®, Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional CCIP®, and Cisco Certified Design Professional CCDP® certifications. The BSCI 642-901 exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco ISR routers connected to LANs and WANs. The exam covers topics on Advanced IP Addressing, Routing Principles, Multicast Routing, IPv6, Manipulating Routing Updates, Configuring basic BGP, Configuring EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS.
The following information provides general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam. In order to better reflect the contents of the exam and for clarity purposes the guidelines below may change at any time without notice.
Explain the functions and operations of EIGRP (e.g., DUAL).
Configure EIGRP routing. (e.g., Stub Routing, authentication, etc.)
Verify or troubleshoot EIGRP routing configurations.
Explain the functions and operations of multiarea OSPF.
Configure multiarea OSPF routing. (e.g., Stub, NSSA, authentication, etc.)
Verify or troubleshoot multiarea OSPF routing configurations.
Describe the features and benefits of integrated IS-IS.
Configure and verify integrated IS-IS.
Describe, configure or verify route redistribution between IP routing IGPs. (e.g., route-maps, default routes, etc.)
Describe, configure or verify route filtering (i.e., distribute-lists and passive interfaces).
Describe and configure DHCP services (e.g., Server, Client, IP helper address, etc.).
Describe the functions and operations of BGP.
Configure or verify BGP operation in a non-transit AS (e.g., authentication).
Configure BGP path selection. (i.e., Local Preference, AS Path, Weight or MED attributes).
Describe IP Multicast (e.g., Layer-3 to Layer-2 mapping, IGMP, etc.).
Describe, configure, or verify IP multicast routing (i.e., PIM Sparse-Dense Mode).
Describe IPv6 addressing operations.

I would say yes, this is important when redistributing between protocols.

What's the difference between 640-503, 640-503, 640-900 and 640-901?
Are the exams 640-603 unto 640-900 still available?

Yes, yes. Not only the metrics but the proper command(s) and where they are implemented.

Can anyone recommend a good study guide for this exam? I am not a big fan of the Cisco Press books.

I think this new exam topics are just too broad.
@ the guy asking for a study source: If you want to really learn the subjects you should start looking for documents on this website. The content of the configuration guides is much better than any official material. Routing TCP/IP Volume 1 is excellent for most of the routing protocols covered in this exam.
Do we need to remember the metric calculation for the routing protocols?
