Hi Vladislav,

this clause:
net ~ 1.0.0.0/8
means "NET is subnetwork (of network itself) of 1.0.0.0/8". So 
networks like 1.1.0.0/16 or 1.0.0.0/8 are accepted by the filter.

But this clause:
net ~ [ 1.0.0.0/8 ]
means "NET is a member of prefix list (prefix list is in []) with a 
single member 1.0.0.0/8. So basically only 1.0.0.0/8 is matched.

That's why export_default_1 accepts just default route (0.0.0.0/0) and 
export_default_2 accepts default route and all subnetworks.

So your filters export_net_1 and export_net_2 are not equal. The 
filter export_net_2 would e.g. accept route 12.12.12.13/32, but that 
is probably not in your routing table.

"net ~ [ 1.0.0.0/8]" is equal with "net = 1.0.0.0/8"
