Under what scenarios do providers install egress ACLs which could say for eg.

1. Allow all IP traffic out on an interface foo if its coming from source IP x.x.x.x/y 2. Drop all other IP traffic out on this interface.

Question seems to be 'when do you need to drop packets', I'm sure 10 different people would give 10 different use-cases. One use-case for this particular ACL is that the interface is used for MGMT only, so you allow NMS network and drop everything else. -- ++ytti
