Hi James,
>From my experience, I agree with you.
The RIP redistributes _valid_ routes from it's database. That is, routes
learned via other rip speakers, other routing processes via redistribution,
connected networks covered in network statements, etc, that the RIP process
has not discarded and are eligible for the RIB. When you apply route-maps,
you control which of these routes are redistributed.
The same goes for OSPF. LSAs for all the area's links and routers reside in
the database, but not all database entries are in fact redistributed. RIP
wouldn't know how to handle them since it doesn't do SPF. Only those with
the routing bit set (processed by SPF and eligible for the RIB) are
available for redistribution.
