Keep in mind that you can't filter LSAs. You can filter routing
information as it moves from the LSDB to the local routing table, but not
the reception and publication of the LSAs to the LSDB. Filtering LSA
reception would directly violate the specifications and likely lead to
routing instability as SPF is only effective when everyone looks at the
same topology.
