But the metric will be inconsistent.
For ospf / BGP metric may be more than 16 
How to respond send the metric in BGP say 123456
Wont' it be invalid in a rip response. ?.

  You should respond with whichever route the router will use for that destination,
  whether or not it is a RIP route. This is true for all queries.

  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.

  Nanda kishore
