What is cospfShamLinksMetric?

This object reports the OSPF cost metric advertised for a sham link via the ShamLinks table, serving the same SPF-path-preference purpose as cospfShamLinkMetric. An admin configuring this needs the same care as with its counterpart: set too low, it can pull transit traffic onto what is meant to be a backdoor-masking, not primary, path.
