If we block src ip on this it kills the bgp sessions to our providers
(port 179) for example the one on 213.200.77.145/30 (Tiscali)

Where is this sig in /etc/snort/rules ?? or in the source ??

This really isn't a false positive per-se, but rather a rule that you
need to tune according to your setup (with thresholds, etc).  A false
positive is an event that isn't actually what the alerting
sig/preprocessor was designed to detect.  In this case, the traffic you
are seeing is exactly what the sig was designed to detect.
