Figure 23: ACL filter modeling for ESM Service Chaining
Figure 24 shows upstream VAS service chaining steering using filter policies. Upstream
subscriber traffic entering Res-GW is subject to the subscriber's ingress ACL filter assigned
to that subscriber by a policy server. If the ACL contains VAS steering rules, the VAS-rule-
matching subscriber traffic is steered for VAS processing over a dedicated to-from-access
VAS interface in the same or a different routing instance. After the VAS processing, the
upstream traffic can be returned to Res-GW by a to-from-network interface (shown in
Figure 24) or can be injected to WAN to be routed towards the final destination (not shown).
