The path bandwidth.
A cumulative interface delay.
The reliability between source and destination
The load on a link in bits per second.
The MTU value of a path.
The command that displays metric information contained in an IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) update is show ip igrp topology. This command provides details about the routes learned via IGRP, including metrics such as bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability for each route. By using this command, network administrators can analyze the routing decisions made by IGRP based on the metric values.

IGRP is Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, enhanced by Cisco proprietary Enhanced IGRP.

EIGRP (Enhanced IGRP) has replaced IGRP. With the way EIGRP is set up as a protocol it is possible to implement a newer router that only supports EIGRP into a network that is running IGRP. Honestly network admins should be pushing for EIGRP if they are still on IGRP as for many features and advantages EIGRP has over IGRP. Directly from Cisco.com: "Enhanced IGRP provides compatibility and seamless interoperation with IGRP routers. An automatic-redistribution mechanism allows IGRP routes to be imported into Enhanced IGRP, and vice versa, so it is possible to add Enhanced IGRP gradually into an existing IGRP network."

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) are two very popular Distance Vector routing protocols
It is typical for older routing protocols of the "distance vector" type, such as RIP, or IGRP, to send out their routing tables regularly to neighbors. By default, RIP does this every 30 seconds, while IGRP does it every 90 seconds.
It provides greater accuracy than RIP's hop-count metric when choosing a path. it supports multiple unequal paths between source and destination. Network administrators can influence route selection by manually configuring metrics.
IGRP uses a single composite metric based on bandwidth and delay, while EIGRP uses a composite metric including bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, and MTU. EIGRP also allows for variance in metric calculation to enable load balancing across unequal path costs.
Distance vector routing is used when the network is simple and has no hierarchical design. Examples of distance vector routing protocols are RIP and IGRP.
It configures unequal-cost load balancing
