Dave,

Essentially, the K values don't work.  The full metric is never implemented
(also true of EIGRP).  Bandwidth and delay are all that is used.  The delay
is pretty intuitive.  You just add the delay of each interface along the
way.  As for bandwidth, you use the smallest value between end points so
that any bottlenecks are taken into consideration.  You wouldn't want an
outgoing ethernet interface being chosen over a T-1 as the best path if
there were a 9.6kbps dialup later in the path.

I wouldn't loose any sleep trying to memorize the whole k value alphabet
soup.

Regards,

Scott
