Layer-2 Filtering Policy

In order to help maintain hygiene across the peering fabric, all peering participant ports are subjected to a standard layer-2 filtering policy to limit frames that are considered unwanted at the peering fabric. Below is a list of frames that are filtered (dropped) by default. This list is revised as necessary.

In general peers are expected to send only IPv4 (0x0800 ), IPv6 (0x86dd ) and ARP (0x0806) ethertypes. Other frames types will be dropped.
