Despite having different bandwidth, your "metric" setting did not reflect
that, so there's no way for RIB to tell their differences.
Both multicast and best route v4 strategies do not attempt to detect link
bandwidth or Interest satisfaction rate. Their decisions are solely based
on metric setting.
To fix this problem, set the metric to the inverse of bandwidth.

in addition I found that in multicast strategy, interests do not multicast.

The GlobalRoutingHelper only installs a shortest route from every node to a
prefix. Even if you are using multicast strategy, the Interest goes on only
one path because there's only one nexthop in the FIB entry.
