IBGP within VPN tunnel
Hello,
I am new to BGP. I understand how BGP works at a higher level as well as use case for eBGP. However I a still not clear on a particular use case where iBGP is run inside a VPN tunnel. Would somebody be so kind to educate me the advantage of doing so?

Have you see DN42?

DN42 is still using eBGP, since everyone needs to get their own ASN, although a private one.
Some people run iBGP within their own ASN, which is what I am curious about.

It's the exact same thing as eBGP. I can send several /24s to my aggregation router IBGP between smaller areas, which sends on a single /20 ebgp to upstream .
It's also can using heartbeat-esque keepalive /32s for HA/failover.
You can do that with DN42 too. When I was hooked up I did so I could connect my home on a dynamic IP via a VPS.
We run iBGP between all our Filtering PoPs and between our Route sources (2) and each PoP for centralized BGP configuration. No aggregation just route relay with some filtering & community adjustments.

what is the advantage compared to static route?

Usually it's for failover so the failing end can be withdrawn if it's session fails.
