I have not done extensive tests, but I know that when redistribute from a Higer
 AD to a Lower AD
routing protocol could give sub-optiomal path, for example:-

           *Redistribute Rip to Igrp
           *
 +--igrp--(R1)--Rip--+
 | |
(R2) (R3)---lo0
 | |
 +--igrp--(R4)--Rip--+

Let said R1 redistribute Rip into Igrp, at R4, to reach R3 lo0, it will pick pa
th via R2->R1->R3 instead of R3. One of the soution is to set the AD value of r
edistrubted route from Rip to a value higer than the Rip(>120) in Igrp domain.

Subject: routing loop in single redistribution point?

Hi all,

In Solie's CCIE Pratical Studies errata for page 623, he took out the
following statement from the 'Caution' box: "If there is only one
redistribution point, inherent loop prevention whithin the routing protocol
will be sufficient enough to prevent loops". I can see multiple
redistributing points can cause routing loop as demonstrate in Doyle I's
Route Filtering chapter, but have troubles to see how a routing loop can be
fromed in a single redistribution point. Can someone give me an example of
such case?

Thanks,
Chang
