Hello!

RFC5575 and newer RFC8955 define validation procedure for flowspec 
routes received by BGP protocol. While testing flowspec in bird 2.0.8 I've
found strange behavior:

# birdc show route protocol BGP4_IPPORT filtered
BIRD 2.0.8 ready.
Table T4_IPPORT:
185.23.164.48/28     unicast [BGP4_IPPORT 18:02:30.148] * (100) [AS8647i]
        via 193.25.180.134 on bxe0
-- the unicast route is filtered by import policy.

# birdc show route 
BIRD 2.0.8 ready.
Table FLOW4:
flow4 { dst 185.23.164.48/28; proto 1; icmp type 8; }  [BGP4_IPPORT 18:02:31.214 from 193.25.180.134] * (100) [AS8647i]
-- flow route remains.

So the question, is feasibility check implemented in bird?

Thank you!
