[c-nsp] Re: IPv6 Route "tag" attribute?

[Dave McGaugh]

So the workaround supplied doesn't seem like much of a workaround.  
Granted it gets the tag information into OSPF (assuming that's the  
protocol being redistributed into), but if the idea of tagging routes  
for redistribution is for the purpose of grouping routes that are  
otherwise unrelated, you would essentially have to make matches based  
on an ACL or prefix-list first.
