ACLs

• ALDE generates alerts
• Operators manually determine if they take action
• Packets matching ACL can be blocked or shaped
  (partially blocked)
• Example
• The ALDE alerts Agya of a possible attack.
  The operator determines the alert is an actual
  attack and shapes the packets matching the ACL
  entry by dropping 45 of them.
