I think it's important to note that "ipRouteMetric" is one of the
standard MIB variables, so any complete implementation of SNMP is
obligated to support it.  I also know from personal experience that
not all implementations of SNMP management stations can deal with
vendor-specific extensions to the MIB database.  It would be
interesting to know what cisco's plans are for additional variables,
and I'll even take this opportunity to suggest that all the statistics
kept in the box should be available via SNMP.  However, I can't fault
them for providing complete SNMP support before they also include a
complete set of cisco-specific extensions to it.
