Metric (Standard 7 Package Reference)
7/8/2014
Metric specifies the interface metric for the IPv4 protocol. When routes are chosen, the overall metric used to determine the preference is the sum of the route metric and the interface metric. Typically, the interface metric gives preference to a particular interface, such as using wired if both wired and wireless are available.
If a preference is not specified, the stack will choose an automatic metric, such as automatically preferring wired over wireless.
