[nsp] maximum OSPF metric

[Rainer]

Hello,

ok, the cost of each link must be <= 65535. But reading rfc2328 and
searching cisco.com I couldn't figure out how large the sum of all costs
(metric) for a path may get. I *guess* this might depend on the routing
platform.

Does anybody have an Idea what size did cisco reserve for the metric? 
Is there another place I should have looked at before posting?
