Because I want to know where a route came from. Tag's stay with a route any
where the route shows up. Not all routing protocols support tags, but the
ones that do, I use.
Think of it this way. I have 40 cats, 30 normal cats (regular routes) and
10 special cats (redistributed routes). If walk into a random room
(router)and see three cats with ear tags, I can follow the numbers on the
ear tags to find out why they are in the room.
The short form of this answer is I use tags to follow the effects of my
redistribution commands.
BTW, Tim you are correct that are not being used as a functional router
command. But they could be, if needed downstream.
