Configuring a Service Policy
Service policies provide a consistent and flexible way to configure adaptive security appliance features.
For example, you can use a service policy to create a timeout configuration that is specific to a particular
TCP application, as opposed to one that applies to all TCP applications. A service policy consists of
multiple service policy rules applied to an interface or applied globally.
