level3 dia egress filtering?

Mon May 12 22:20:05 UTC 2014

Are you asking a transit network to filter specific ports as an end user
or as an ISP who has Level 3 as a transit provider?

I haven't seen a specific port could be dropped by any network....Only
aware of BGP community string like, 3356:9999 - black hole (discard all
traffic for specific IP range) traffic type abilities.

We have and will filter specific ports for customers. But this port type
ACL is completed by hand....I haven't seen anyone implement this using a
BGP community string.
