Hi All

I am jsut doing some practice on protocol inspection using MPF on ASA. I am
generally using ACLs to match my traffic in my L3/L4 class maps though at
times the answers I see match just on the port number.

Apart from being able to define source and destination IP addresses in ACLs
as compared to matching just on a port number in a class map, are there any
deeper benefits to matching on one or the other when using MPF, especially
in regards to then implementing L7 application inspection? Below is what I
mean:

Option 1
access-list http-out extended permit tcp any any eq http log
class-map http-outside
 match access-list http-out

Option 2
class-map http-outside
 match port eq 80

Thanks
Ben
