This is the wide metric value for reaching the specified destination over this circuit, following the ManualOrAutomatic behavior. It is the wide-metric counterpart needed once the router and area use wide metrics, letting this IP entry's cost be expressed with the same granularity as wide-metric circuit costs elsewhere rather than being capped at the narrow metric's 63-point ceiling. For example, on a wide-metric network, leaving only the narrow ciiIPRAMetric populated on a redistributed route while ignoring this object could leave that route improperly costed relative to wide-metric circuits when other routers compute paths through it.
