About EIGRP dealy

[abdelnour.moussaoui]

Hello,

I have a question about EIGRP protocol, i am wondring what type of delay is using when it calculate the metric. as i know there is diffrent types of delay :
serialization delay, propogation delay, forwarding delay......etc. i approciate any kind of support form you.

Best wishes

Hi,

delay in EIGRP metric calculations is not a dynamic value; the default delay value of an interface should reflect typical (average) serialization delay values for the particular interface-type.

It is a static interface parameter, and its (interface-type-dependant) default-value can be changed by the delay command, similar to the bandwidth command. To calculate the metric to a destination, EIGRP uses the lowest bandwidth of all interfaces in the path but the sum of all the delays (minimum bandwidth but total delay).
