Tweaking EIGRP Metric Calculations

EIGRP Metric Calculation
256*([K1*Bw + K2*Bw/(256-Load) + K3*Delay]*[K5/(Reliability + K4)])

Changing K Values
By default K1=K3=1 and K2=K4=K5=0 Metric= 256*(Bw + Delay) Bw = (10^7/minimum Bw in kilobits per second)
R1(config-router)# metric-weights 0

Changing BW
R1(config-if)#bandwidth kbps
