Handily it's possible to query Level3's filters through a whois 
interface, for example:

    whois -h filtergen.level3.net RIPE::AS25577

For some reason this doesn't work:

    whois -h filtergen.level3.net APNIC::AS9318

But this does, presumably this one is reading of an internal Level3 db:

    whois -h filtergen.level3.net AS9318

List of prefixes returned is:

Prefix list for policy AS9318 =
 LEVEL3::AS9318
