Hi Ahmed,
Thanks for getting back to me.
With respect, I don't agree that routing loop or sub-optimal routing would definetly happen in my topology.
Let's say network between R1 and R2 is net12, and net56 is the network between R5 and R6. On R4 under ospf, net12 is imported from eigrp to ospf, and ospf advertise this route (in form of LSA) to the whole ospf domain. When this info arrive R3 via ospf domain, R3 will give route to net12 via ospf domain a distance of 110. At the same time R3 gets route to net12 by eigrp, which give the route a distance of 90, so route to net12 by eigrp is prefered.
On R4 under eigrp, net56 is imported from ospf to eigrp, and eigrp advertise this route to the whole eigrp domain as an external route. When this info arrives R3 via eigrp domain, R3 will give route to net56 via eigrp domain a distance of 170. At the same time R3 gets route to net56 by ospf, which give the route a distance of 110, so route to net56 by ospf is prefered.
This logic can go on and on, and I can't see how routing loop would happen.
I know that loop busters are tweaking of distance and route-filtering by ACL, tagging, and I can use them pretty fast. I just don't think it's necessary.
Come on, CCIEs, double triple quintuple CCIEs, Brian, MADMAN, Scott, Peter, Chuck, Bob,...., come and get me.

Weidoing,
Whenever there are multi-point redistribution, routing loop or sub-optimal routing would definetly happen. In your scenerio, the actual results can only be seen by implementing the Scenerio. There are few options, and they all depend. You could go with access-lists, distance commands, and route tagging.

Ahmed

Hi group,
In the above topology, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are running EIGRP, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are running OSPF, R3 and R4 are doing mutual redistribution.
Can some guru confirm that without any route filtering, tagging or twisting of distance, routing loop or unoptimal routes will not happen?
If this is the case, then if I swap OSPF with RIPv2, or swap EIGRP with RIPv2 (on R3 and R4 set distance of external ospf to 130), no routing loop will happen even if I do nothing special?
Thanks,
Weidong
