You have to think about this from the perspective of the bgp update itself. The
update is going "out" to the neighbor and thus out makes sense in this context.
Should you want to filter updates from the neighbor, in would be the case.
The interesting/confusing thing is that you do outbound filters to influence inbound
traffic and inbound filters to influence outbound traffic :)
