Hi, all
I have a question regarding to redistribute IGR routes into BGP. Currently
both Cisco
and Juniper support it.
Here I don't understand what is the advantage of this redistribution?
Because BGP is
potentially injecting information into the IGP and then sending such
information back into BGP.
Could anybody provide more description regarding the advantage and the
disadvantage
of redistribuing IGP routes into BGP?
Do people use this in real life?
Thanks a lot,
Xingguo
