What is the best situation for each routing protocol RIP IGRP EIGRP OSPF?

RIP - Only for small networks or those with underpowered hardware that either don't support or don't have the resources for a better routing protocol.

IGRP - Basically outdated and supplanted by EIGRP. Again, useful if you can not use EIGRP due to router limitations.

EIGRP - Useful in Cisco-only networks of basically any size. EIGRP is an extremely robust and efficient protocol that suits nearly any need other than inter-organization routing.

OSPF - Useful everywhere. It's standardized, so it's not limited to a particular vendor. Most appropriate in large multi-vendor networks. It has a higher CPU load than EIGRP does, and it requires more granular control from an administration perspective.
