Eigrp Metric Weights

Why is the "Type of service" a variable, when it must be 0?

R2(config-router)# metric weights [COLOR=#ff0000][B]0[/B][/COLOR] 1 0 1 1 0

The first variable (0) has been noted to always be Zero.

because eigrp (and ospf) dont support TOS the value has to be 0 for the router to process it.

EIGRP Metric & K-Values

It states it was never fully implemented into EIGRP so it has to be set to Zero.

This article starts talking about it, but since it was never implemented. We should probably just set it zero, remember what it is and why, then never look at it again

It seemed like something that slipped through the cracks then.
