For colo? No, filtering is the customers concern, unless failure to do
so is causing a problem for the colo network. Such services are almost
always paid for add-ons to a colo package. The colocation business is
usually fairly low on the profit margin with most companies trying to
get away with the bare minimum possible over and above the basics.
