Eigrp Load Balancing with variance

[Gary Lefebvre]

Hello, I am studying load balancing and often I see a diagram like the one below...

The Feasible Distance are a far cry from these numbers listed above. Can someone explain the purpose of having these tidy numbers instead of the actual FD numbers that a router reports? Or am I missing something?

Kind regards

It is simply to make the concept easier to understand and to work out the maths as you are learning. That is pretty much the only reason they are used and as you say in the real world they are very different.
