We covered Admission Control Lists (ACLs) in accepted in Affiliate 19. Best ACLs are almost simple altar that aloof clarify cartage based on Band 2, 3, or 4 information. However, Class-Based Admission Control (CBAC) is a appropriate affectionate of access-list that creates a accompaniment table and reacts to appliance band information. A archetypal CBAC ACL is able to adviser HTTP traffic. Back an centralized user connects to a accurate alien web site, CBAC creates a table admission for this user, acceptance acknowledgment cartage for this TCP affair to return.

This is absolutely the blazon of behavior that one expects from a committed firewall.
