The next two numbers are the inverse bandwidth and the delay, respectively.

The following criteria can be used but are not recommended because they typically result in
frequent recalculation of the topology table:
?– Reliability: This value represents the worst reliability between the source and destination,
based on keepalives.
?– Load: This value represents the worst load on a link between the source and destination,
computed based on the packet rate and the con?¬?gured bandwidth of the interface.
Load Balancing Across Equal Paths
Equal-cost load balancing is the capability of a router to distribute traf?¬?c over all its network ports
that are the same metric from the destination address. Load balancing increases the use of network
segments and increases effective network bandwidth.
For IP, Cisco IOS Software applies load balancing across up to four equal-cost paths by default.
With the maximum-paths maximum-path router con?¬?guration command, up to 16 equal-cost
routes can be kept in the routing table.
