Network+ book says to determine the cost of a route metric you must divide the bandwidth in bps by 100,000,000
100Mb = 100,000,000 Correct?
Because the book shows a 100Mb path as a cost of 10
and a 1Gb path as a cost of 1
so OSPF will always choose the lowest cost
I thought 100Mb is 100 million. Megabits = Millions
Where am I going wrong?

100 mbps = 100,000,000
cost=bandwidth/10power8
=100,000,000/100,000,000
= 1
So for a 1gbps cost would be 10==============================
Next what? CCNP or CCIP?
