Hello I am trying to understand OSFP. I thought that the router with the lowest value would be the best route and therefore the one that would be used with OSFP. I am read a training PDF and there are two routes to a destination subnet, one with a total cost value with 111 and the other with 75. but the document states that the sending router would use the route with 111 and enter the routers ip address as the next hop. Is this correct?

I thought it would be the router with total cost value of 75

Thanks

 
Yes, the lowest cost route would be chosen. Must be a typo?? Is this a publicly available PDF that we could look at??

Thanks for the reply, I thought it would be wrong just wanted to confirm with someone. The pdf is not on the web. I might send the published or author an email pointing out the typo. Thanks again.
