If there was no RR, and if R1 was peered with R3 and R4 you MAY have seen
two routes depending on what other configuration you had.

Play with it. Best thing is to lab it and watch it. See what different
changes you make and what effect they'll have on anyone's routing table!

Since people get upset when you play around with routers in real life, it's
definitely recommended to play in a lab!!!

Thanks Scott and others.Had there not been an RR, R1 would have received
both the routes.Can I say that RR took away some flexibility on R1.(I could
have selected the other route on R1 with weight if there had been no RR).Is
my understanding correct?
