i have been doing some router so far. but, i have notice that there is a common flag, called metric among type of routers like cisco and 3com. what does it means? pls advise. thanks.
Metric in routers refers to the cost or distances to the target network. This is a value that helps the router choose the best path to a given network. This metric changes depending on how the router chooses paths.
