Configuring the ACFP Server (Switch)

Basic data communication networks comprise of routers and switches, which forward data packets. As 

data networks develop, more and more services run on them. It has become inappropriate to use 

legacy devices for handling some new services. Therefore, some security products such as firewalls, 

and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and voice and wireless products are designed to handle specific 

services. 

For better support of new services, manufacturers of legacy networking devices (routers and switches 

in this document) have developed various dedicated service boards (cards), which can be plugged or 

connected to these legacy networking devices for cooperating to handle these services. This gives full 

play to the advantages of respective manufacturers for better support of new services while reducing 

user investments. 

The open application architecture (OAA) is an open service architecture developed with this concept. It 

integrates devices and software produced by different manufacturers, making them function as one 

device, and thus providing integrated resolutions for the customers. 

The Application Control Forwarding Protocol (ACFP) is developed based on the OAA architecture. A 

router or switch mirrors or redirects the received packets to an ACFP client after matching the ACFP 

collaboration rules. The ACFP client then processes the packets in different ways.

As shown in 

, the ACFP architecture consists of: 

z 

Routing/switching component: As the main part of a router and a switch, it performs complete 

router/switch functions and is also the core of user management control. This part is called the 

ACFP server. 

z 

Independent service component: It is the main part open for development by a third party and is 

mainly used to provide various unique service functions. This part is called the ACFP client.
