Hi,

I'm saying I would *LIKE* to, not that it's possible today.

The ASBR is advertising the labels to be used _towards it_ over the bgp
session to the other AS so _it_ knows what labels are valid and what it
should accept on ingress from the other AS. A feature implementing this as
an ACL just doesn't currently exist.

URPF is relevant in the sense that originally it wasn't available and people
who cared did ingress spoof acls by hand. I don't want to do things by hand,
automating is the key. Infrastructure ACLs similarly protect your network on
the edges.

My point was that these were features people did not have before but once
they became available some people have been using them to their
satisfaction.
