Examples for filtering BGP Update messages

All above filters can be used in incoming or outgoing directions of the update messages. For ACL, distribute list, AS path list, and prefix list, the order of application is not important. If an update is denied by any given filter, it is discarded immediately, and is not run through any of the other filters. If an update is permitted by one filter, it is passed through to the next filter to be considered. At the end, you end up with the set of updates that all the filters agree should not be discarded. However, route maps are applied last, after the other types of filter. This is because route maps can modify updates, not just accept or discard them.
