Understanding the cost and cost modifier parameters

Understanding Cost and Cost Modifier parameters assist you when creating an Endpoint.

Cost parameter

The cost parameter is a number that is used as a weighting mechanism to differentiate one resource from another where a smaller value is always preferred. The cost parameter is used to establish a basic cost for a service.

Cost modifier parameter

The cost modifier parameter establishes a granularity for the cost parameter.
