routing protocols : Administrative Distance and multiple routes with the same mask

The video tutorial explains how OSPFv and RIP advertise the same network route, leading to a conflict resolved by administrative distance, which acts as a tiebreaker. It further discusses how routing decisions are made based on the longest match or best match criteria, with network 10.1.1.0/27 being chosen as the best route. Despite RIP having a higher administrative distance compared to OSPF, traffic is forwarded to router one due to the longest match rule.

What is the significance of administrative distance in routing protocols?

What happens when multiple routing protocols try to insert the same route into the routing table?

How does the routing decision get made when multiple protocols advertise the same route?

Explain the concept of longest match in routing decisions.

Why might traffic be forwarded to a router using RIP despite its higher administrative distance compared to OSPF?
