DESCRIPTION
Metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. IP
routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of
1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates
the cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be
between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
