Unfortunately the browser did not get the diagram character right. 
Diagram should be:
(route)- r8 - (eigrp 1) - r7 - (ospf) - r6

r7 - eigrp 1 - r6


r7 runs ospf and eigrp 1 with r6.
r7 runs eigrp 1 with r8
r8 redistributes connected interface.

The question is with r7.
r7 is redistributing ospf to eigrp and vice versa.
So route, here is 150.50.3.0/24, should appears in r7 ospf with AD 110, 
also in r7 eigrp topology with AD 170, thus, in theory, r7 should 
install the ospf path into forwarding table. Because the next hop of 
ospf path is r7 itself, so loop starts.

That is how i undertand.

But in fact, r7 choose eigrp path for its forwarding, which is something 
confused me.
