In most scenarios you cannot derive an accurate metric. Suppose you are
redistributing 2 OSPF routes into EIGRP. The 1st one is 1 hop away across
Ethernet, the 2nd is 2 hops away over 64K serial links. What would the
correct redistribution metrics be?
I don't think you have to worry about trying to calculate the correct
values, but you do need to understand the impact these values have. In
particular if you are doing mutual redistribution you can end up with
routing loops if you are not careful.
