I'm not following you Nadeem. From what I remember, OSPF calculates cost using the formula (Reference Bandwidth / Configured Bandwidth). Metric would be the cumulative cost.

Friends, 
They key to this confision is that how OSPF calculate metric when we configure auto-cost reference bandwith, As i had observed that it increases the cost for a 128 Kbps Link from 781 to 7812 as compare to its default behavior, and some how I am not able to find out that what formulae it uses after auto-cost reference bandwith command

Strange that it is exactly 10 higher than the largest 16 bit number. Did you try clearing the OSPF process?

Hi Experts, 
10.1.1.2 
I have 3 routers 10.1.1.1 ----A--------B---------- C-10.3.3.3, am running 
ospf on it,they all r connected through gigabit interface, i have configured 
auto-cost reference bandwith 10000 
MBps 10.3.3.2 
Because in future i will installed 10gig . Definately the cost is 10 as the 
interface is gigabit.But when i c in the sh ip route the metric for network 
10.1.1.1 is 65545,from where 
did it came can anybody help me.It is irritating me, 
when i c sh ip os interfce the cost what i c is 10 on all routers but when 
i c sh ip route the metric for network 10.1.1.1 is 110/65545 
the metric should be 20 ,the distance from A to B and from B to C???? 
correct me if am wrong. 
this problem is strange for me. 
Awaiting for ur reply friends
