Re: BGP FLowspec to Yang/Yaml ACL

[Tim Jackson <jackson.tim () gmail com>]

Use ExaBGP to insert the routes? (https://github.com/Exa-Networks/exabgp)

This is some old Perl that generates the older ExaBGP 2.0 style entries,
but it uses template toolkit which means you can easily change the output
format:

There's a lot more you could do to make this even more flexible, you don't
need YANG or to modify any config, just build something that accepts what
you're after and sends it as flowspec routes from ExaBGP to the routers you
care about.
