Information About Service Policies
Order in Which Multiple Feature Actions are Applied
The order in which different types of actions in a service policy are performed is independent of the order
in which the actions appear in the table.
Note NetFlow Secure Event Logging filtering is order-independent.
Actions are performed in the following order:
1. QoS input policing
2. TCP normalization, TCP and UDP connection limits and timeouts, TCP sequence number
randomization, and TCP state bypass.
Note When a the adaptive security appliance performs a proxy service (such as AAA or CSC) or it
modifies the TCP payload (such as FTP inspection), the TCP normalizer acts in dual mode,
where it is applied before and after the proxy or payload modifying service.
3. CSC
4. Application inspection (multiple types)
The order of application inspections applied when a class of traffic is classified for multiple
inspections is as follows. Only one inspection type can be applied to the same traffic. WAAS
inspection is an exception, because it can be applied along with other inspections for the same
traffic. See the “Incompatibility of Certain Feature Actions” section on page 29-5 for more
information.
