Speaking only for myself: No. The L2 IXes I connect to should use their resources for packet switching, not filtering. Way too many things that could go wrong if we go down the filtering path…
Indeed. Most of the L2 IXes run on very “cost-optimized” solutions just to switch as fast as they can without going in details of what actually is being switched - at least in Europe. To do some additional checks would require extensive testing, platforms capable of doing this in predictable manner (stability, performance) and obviously - a lot more work than it costs today. -- "There's no sense in being precise when | Łukasz Bromirski you don't know what you're talking | jid:lbromirski@jabber.org about."
