dclVsLCoCostMetric
dcl Vs L Co Cost Metric
This attribute gives the route's total cost metric. It is calculated as the sum of the cost metric of all trunks in the path at the time the connection was established. The cost metric of a trunk is defined by the trunkCost attribute of the Trunk component. The costMetric for an LCo that is originated and terminated on the same module is 0.
