ACLs enhance network security by blocking selected IP traffic, and can serve
as one aspect of network security. However, because ACLs do not protect
from malicious manipulation of data carried in IP packet transmissions,
they should not be relied upon for a complete edge security solution.
The ACLs described in this section do not screen non-IP traffic such as
AppleTalk and IPX.
