[j-nsp] ACL behaviour

[Ali Sumsam]

Hi,
There is an ACL on a Cisco router which doesn't have a statement which
allows the BGP peering IPs through the interface (where the ACL is
applied). However, the BGP is still getting established.

I am doing the same thing on Juniper, and the BGP peering is not coming up.
If I allow the BGP peer IP in the Juniper firewall filter, it lets the BGP
come up.

My assumption is that Cisco doesn't apply the ACL on the traffic that is
generated by the router itself. Is this the reason of the above behavior?
Or is there something else? Please comment.
