Hi, group,

When reading Halabi's book on "Internet Routing Architecture", I couldn't 
understand the following paragraph from P340 :

For BGP learned routes, an AS can also advertise these routes to another AS 
with the internal IGP metric carried into BGP. This is achieved by using the 
following command as part of a route map towards a neighbor: set metric-type 
internal. This would cause BGP routes to carry the internal IGP metric as 
MED.

Question 1 : Does the internal IGP metric here mean "hop count" for RIP, 
cost for OSPF or composite metric for EIGRP & IGRP ?

Question 2: According this paragraph, the configuration command "set 
metric-type internal" should be used on the example on the same page, why I 
couldn't find this command in his example?

If anybody can give some direction, thanks a lot.
