I am interested in gathering data for a firewall ruleset that allows more direct usage from networks that are in the metro region of Twin Cities and Duluth, and to a lesser degree communities and surrounding areas for Crookston and Morris. For the participants of MICE, do you have a way of easily presenting your routes by geolocation?

I pulled down our route tables for one of our Northern Lights routers connected and matched the base address against max mind geolocate. The result was a list of about 7,000 routes that I thought was unmanageable. Is there a better way, maybe through BGP communities or similar methods, to get more direct relevant info?

I want to have a ruleset that permits <ISP x>/minneapolis but denies <ISP x>/atlanta.
