The router will choose the row with the highest reliability metric, which in this case is row 2707 with a metric of 20. The cost reliability is only used as a tiebreaker when multiple rows have the same reliability metric. Therefore, row 4400 with a cost reliability of 10 will not be chosen over row 2707 with a reliability metric of 20.
