Re: [OSPF] OSPF Hybrid Broadcast and P2MP Interface Type

Hi,

There is also a case of multiple ethernet switches connected together
serially, with varying propagation delays to the routers that are connected
to one of these switches. Imagine different types of transmission
technologies in the network but still having ethernet on each end of the
links.

>From the perspective of a router connected to the nearest switch, a router
on a far end switch will have higher propagation delay than a router
connected to the same (nearest) switch, so having the ability to define a
higher OSPF metric to that far end router can become important.

Thanks,
pete
