Of course they are! It is easy to add iptables rules like that to a MikroTik router.
But even easier to just turn off the sending of the MNDP packets.

Well, running IPIP mesh on a MikroTik may not be a good idea. At least not until it
supports ampr-ripd so you can run just a single IPIP interface for the entire mesh,
and use a separate routing table updated by RIP messages.
(similar to the situation with other commercial routers like Cisco and Juniper)
Did anyone ever try to get such a change incorporated by the MikroTik people?
I have no idea how friendly they are to such specialized requests, but on the other
hand they have a very broad collection of exotic protocols and configuration items.
(I just got a 2011UiAS-2HnD this week, and I am impressed. I will use it as my home
router, but not on the IPIP mesh, it will be connected to my Ubiquiti Airgrid with a link
to the local HAMNET which again is linked to our gateway)
