I think the whole point of filtering is that you will not send packets to that newly announced route. You can access-list it and if you suddenly see matching on some deny, then you can investigate at somewhere like nitrous and figure out who is announcing what. In general, I would not be willing to sacrifice the performance of the people who are paying me m0ney just to be able to quickly? ascertain who is causing the problem.
