It seems to me that Mikhail wants to know the protocol information, in context of which the filter is executed. And he also wants it in the export filter, to know protocol/peer/etc.

Yeah, it looks like this, and sadly, we don’t have such information easily available for now.

Implementing this is in our backlog and we are basically overwhelmed with other overdue tasks (like finalizing the multithreading, EVPN or TCP-AO). It is expectable to get this somewhere around BIRD 3.2 or 3.3 (take me with a grain of salt please).

It is quite easy to expose something by some hacks but it would mean polluting the filters and configuration by yet another inconsistent feature which we then would have to maintain for much longer than acceptable.
