routing protocols : How does a router route when told conflicting information?

The video tutorial explains how routing protocols like RIP and EIGRP are used in network topologies. It discusses the concept of administrative distance, which determines the believability of a route. The San Francisco router prefers routes from New York using EIGRP over those from San Jose using RIP due to a lower administrative distance. If the EIGRP route becomes unavailable, the RIP route is used as a backup. The tutorial highlights the importance of administrative distance in route selection and network redundancy.
