Hi Topass,

Both offset-list and distribute list could be used for route filtering.
Using distribute-list allows you to filter based on an incoming
interface while the offset-list does not:

router rip

distribute-list 1 in fa0/0 --- filter the update matches access list 1
inbound to interface fa0/0. By this way the route match the access list
will be filtered as long as it is received inbound from fa0/0

router rip

offset-list 1 in 16 --- add a metric of 16 (infinity) to the routes
matching access-list 1 which effectively means filtering them. Note that
the offset list filter is applied to the routes matches the access list
coming from any interface
