▀ Features and Functionality - Base Software 
▄ Cisco ASR 5000 Series Product Overview 
  Port Utilization Thresholds: If you set a port utilization threshold, when the average utilization of all 
ports in the system reaches the specified threshold, congestion control is enabled. 
  Port-specific Thresholds: If you set port-specific thresholds, when any individual port-specific 
threshold is reached, congestion control is enabled system-wide. 
  Service Congestion Policies: Congestion policies are configurable for each service. These policies dictate how 
services respond when the system detects that a congestion condition threshold has been crossed. 
Important:  For more information on congestion control, refer to the Congestion Control chapter in the System 
Enhanced Feature Configuration Guide. 
 
IP Access Control Lists 
IP access control lists allow you to set up rules that control the flow of packets into and out of the system based on a 
variety of IP packet parameters. 
IP access lists, or Access Control Lists (ACLs) as they are commonly referred to, are used to control the flow of packets 
into and out of the system. They are configured on a per-context basis and consist of ―rules‖ (ACL rules) or filters that 
control the action taken on packets that match the filter criteria. Once configured, an ACL can be applied to any of the 
following: 
 
  An individual interface 
  All traffic facilitated by a context (known as a policy ACL) 
  An individual subscriber 
  All subscriber sessions facilitated by a specific context 
Important:  For more information on IP access control lists, refer to the IP Access Control Lists chapter in the 
System Enhanced Feature Configuration Guide.
