Just to be sure, could you try to use the "interface-specific" keyword
for your filter?

I wonder if someone can clear this up. I think shared filters are more
intuitive and in line with how "normal" interface filters work. But
then I would need that "instance-specific" knob.

At the moment I only see the "solution" to have individual flood
filters for every VPLS instance which makes large-scale deployment
complicated (I wanted to apply a standard filter in an apply-group).
