TECHNOLOGIES FOR UPDATING AN ACCESS CONTROL LIST TABLE WITHOUT CAUSING DISRUPTION

摘要

Technologies for updating an access control list (ACL) table while minimizing disruption includes a network device. The network device receives a request to store a rule in the ACL. The rule is associated with a precedence group. A precedence group is indicative of a placement priority of a given rule in the ACL. The network device determines, as a function of the precedence group, a placement for the requested rule in the ACL. The network device stores the rule according to the determined placement in the ACL.
