    We supply to mid-to-small ISP's mostly, and sizeable
    enterprise customers; so the degree to which we can filter
    is limited.

    That said, at the edge, we run uRPF on all customer-facing
    ports (loose or strict, depending on the deployment).

    In addition, on each edge router's core-facing uplinks, we
    run egress ACL's matching RFC 1918 and RFC 3330 (yes, with
    uRPF downstream to the customers, this might seem
    redundant, but we've actually seen some 'catches', so it
    appears to help us solidify our filtering implementation).

    In the core, we don't filter or run uRPF, for obvious
    reasons.

    On our border routers, we deploy ingress filters, again,
    cutting off RFC 1918 and RFC 3330.

    On peering routers (private peering and exchange points), we
    run uRPF on our peering interface (taking care to run loose
    mode in case private peers also peer at the public exchange
    point). Again, upstream ACL's are implemented on
    core-facing uplinks to "double-check".

    As you can tell, we don't filter
    protocols/ports/applications. We leave that to the
    customer, and insist on it.

    All the above goes for IPv6 as well, as appropriate.

    We are also quite picky about NLRI filtering (BGP), but
    that's beyond this scope :-).

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Mark.
