I failed maths dismally at school now im faced with this metric stuff ...

IGRP calculates the metric by adding together weighted values of different
characteristics of the link to the network in question. These values
(bandwidth, bandwidth divided by load, and delay) are weighted with the
constants K1, K2, and K3. Here's the formula:


Metric = K1 * BandW   (K2 * BandW)/(256-load)   K3*Delay 
The default constant values are K1=K3=1 and K2=K4=K5=0, so: 


Metric = BandW   Delay 
If K5 does not equal 0, an additional operation is done: 


Metric = Metric * [K5/(reliability   K4)] 
To find BandW, find the smallest of all the bandwidths from outgoing
interfaces and divide 10,000,000 by that number. (The bandwidth is scaled by
10,000,000 in kilobits per second.)

... can anyone put this into very very simple terms i don't understand how
the K values work

a prize will be awarded to the reply i understand :?\ 

TIA Dave
