Bit-dumping [Was: Re: Peering Policy]

Hmmmm, a good idea - make your router to accept packets with src MAC
addresses of its BGP peers only, no?

What about 3rd party routing? People sell legitimate transit at the MAEs
and other exchange points. Some have next-hop-self set, some don't. Not
to mention the CPU load of the acl to police the MAC addresses.

pretty trivial to write an expect script to reconfigure the gigaswitch
hourly based on a freshly-refreshed arp cache. as regards mac level
filtering on your router, i suppose that would depend on the overhead
to implement such filtering on your particular box. and i am not
enough of a cisco wizard to be able to answer that question for the
75xx series.
