Context Based Access Control (CBAC)

• filters TCP and UDP packets based on application-layer protocol session information.
• more flexible than access control lists, that checks packets at the network layer, or at most, the transport layer
• inspects packet sequence numbers in TCP connections
• detects unusually high rates of new connections and issue alert messages.
• creates temporary openings in the return acl to allow traffic back in.
