Hi,
Can any one help me to understand TURBO ACLs?
I have the fundamental clear about it such as:-
The configured access lists are maintian in a sequencial order and the look up time and CPU recuired is reduced.
But i need to know exactly how it works and which platforms support this function.
TIA...
regards,
shri :)

Basically, Turbo ACLs(also known as Compiled ACLs) takes a std or extended ACL, creates a set of data / lookup tables and compiles them for runtime processing. This reduces the number of CPU operations to find a match, allowing larger ACls to be used without increase in packet latency.
Suppose, Turbo ACL is activated on a router, it takes the std/extended ACL as input, creates tables based on those ACL entries, and compiles the tables to allow an arrayed match. Generally, the result is that a match is achieved in 5 steps, regardless of the size of the ACL.
This also indicates that Turbo ACLs are useful when ACL have more than 5 entries. Normal ACLs with 3-5 entries would outperform Turbo ACLs. But with 300-400 lines , Turbo ACLs would outperform sequentially searched ACLs.
