When there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols, Administrative Distance counts the reliability of a routing protocol. The AD value can range from 0 to 255. A lower AD value is more trusted by an L3 device. Therefore, the best AD value is 0 (lower number is always better) and the worst is 255.
