level3 dia egress filtering?

Mon May 12 23:22:57 UTC 2014

Ahh,  Yep, same thing port and/or protocol for an address range.  I haven't
seen that accomplished via BGP. I know ATT will do it - they want about 2K
more per month for that ability. All your traffic is redirected (extra
hops ) through a firewall. So, it's a basic expensive firewall service.

We have done both port based and protocol. But it gets installed by hand
only on the connected port the customer.
