Well, filtering in the data plane is slightly easier because
a single subnet can cover all traffic coming from individual
sources or going to individual destinations.
In the control plane, the industry like to filter on
specific prefixes agreed between customer and provider,
especially when using automated tools such as RPSL. This can
get hairy as configurations become large, where a single
entry with "le 24" or "le 48" could have sufficed.
On the other hand, if you're not automating control plane
filters to some extent, it becomes messy as you get bigger.
Mark.
