Generally the path cost of the links in full duplex status is lower than those in half duplex 
status. 
In calculating the path cost of aggregation links, the 802.1D-1998 does not take into 
account the number of aggregation links, but the 802.1T does. The formula involved is:  
Path Cost = 200,000,000/link speed in 100Kbps
