[rbak-nsp] SeOS 12.1.1.12p13 issue

Does someone have official support with *ML4(service contract)* to ask 
Ericsson to realize RFC7606 on SE1200 or SE600?

Our support says that they don't have this contract and that's why they 
can not create a ticket about this bug. Our OS Version - 
SEOS-12.1.1.11p7-Release and SEOS-12.1.1.12p13-Release

And we have this problem frequently:

By the way did someone try to block those AS with incoming route maps ?
