Hi,

    In RIP, RIPng If we get a specific request for a particualr desination, RFC's say
that we should respond without doing split-horizon processing. Does that mean that
we should respond with only RIP route. 

Say there is a BGP/OSPF route for desination 210.1.1.0/24 and we got a specific request
for that destination

    Case 1: There is a RIP route with cost 4 which is inactive (Administrative distance)
    Case 2: There is no RIP route to the destination (BGP/OSPF's route is there with cost XYZ)

Which metric should we respond with. 

Regards
Nanda kishore
