I didn't get how this helps to make this redistribution useful. Could you give me more hints?

Currentlyboth Cisco and Juniper support it. Here I don't understand what is the advantage of thisredistribution?Because BGP is potentially injecting information into the IGP and then sending such information back into BGP. Could anybody provide more description regarding theadvantage and thedisadvantage of redistribuing IGP routes into BGP? Do people use this in real life? Thanks a lot, Xingguo
