-=== Support for Metric
+=== Support for Routing Metric
Contact: Pouria Mousavizadeh Tehrani <pouria@FreeBSD.org>
I have been working on the metric implementation since 2026Q1.
+Routing metrics are configuration values used by a router to make routing decisions.
+Router metrics help the routing stack to choose the best route among multiple feasible routes to a destination.
+The route will go in the direction of the gateway with the lowest metric.
Support for metric in our routing stack is implemented and available in CURRENT.
Metric support requires numerous updates to both kernel and userland.
