When route information for a destination is received, it also contains the metric parameters used by the advertising router: Bandwidth, Delay, Load, Reliability, MTU. The receiving router compares the received information with the data it has for the incoming interface so it can find the lowest Bandwidth along the path, the highest Load along the path, the sum of Delays along the path, the lowest Reliability along the path and the lowest MTU along the path. Then, it can apply the formula to find the metric value for each path. The router that advertised the best path is considered the Successor, and the metric for that path is known as „Feasible Distance” (FD)
