When a core router has competing advertisements for the same prefix from various PEs, the local edge route should be selected as the best path based on the IGP metric of the resolving routes of those competing advertisements. Without the support mentioned in this TOI, when a BGP route has two or more levels of recursion, the BGP process does not utilize the IGP distance in the route selection process.
