routing protocols : How do routers determine the best route?

The video tutorial explains different routing protocols, focusing on RIP and OSPF. It compares how these protocols determine the best path for data transmission, using human decision-making as an analogy. RIP uses hop count as its main criterion, while OSPF considers bandwidth, making it more efficient in certain scenarios. The tutorial concludes with recommendations for using OSPF or EIGRP in enterprise networks, highlighting the importance of choosing the right protocol based on network requirements.
