350-401 Question #652: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

In which order of magnitude (time) is delay/latency measured when you use wide metrics in EIGRP?

Options

• Atens of microseconds
• Bpicoseconds
• Cnanoseconds
• Dmicroseconds

Explanation

When EIGRP wide metrics are used, the delay/latency component is measured in picoseconds, providing a higher granularity for route calculations.

Common mistakes.

• A. Tens of microseconds is the traditional delay measurement unit for EIGRP classic metrics, not for wide metrics.
• C. Nanoseconds are not the specific unit EIGRP wide metrics use for delay; the actual unit is picoseconds.
• D. Microseconds is not the specific unit EIGRP wide metrics use for delay, which requires more precision with picoseconds.
