Routing Information Filters
Routing information filters restrict the exchange of routing information
between routers by limiting the routes added to the routing tables of specified
routers.
These filters increase network security by limiting the visibility of specified
networks. They also reduce the bandwidth used by the periodic exchange of
routing information between routers.
Routing information filters are of two types:
 Route advertisement
 Route acceptance
When you add a routing information filter, an implicit server filter is also
added for all services residing on the filtered networks.
