We have just installed version 8.1 of cisco gateway software on our
routers.

A 'show route' command now shows me a the value of a 'hop-count'
variable. I also noticed that I can retrieve this value using 
SNMP (variable ipRouteMetric4).

It is interesting to see that even though the IGRP metric does 
NOT take the hop count into account, it was deemed more important
to be able to retrieve the 'hop' count value rather than other
'non-retrievable' IGRP metric components like the 'reliability'
of the path. I had sent out an earlier message regarding the
same issue and had mentioned that the reliability value would
be very useful for network operations and troubleshooting. Perhaps
Cisco sees things differantly and feels that the 'hop' count is
more valuable than the 'reliability' - but if so, could they
share their viewpoints with this list so that we could benefit
from the snmp retrievable value of 'hop-count' ?
