Application Layer Protocol Inspection
Inspection engines are required for services that embed IP addressing information in the user data packet
or that open secondary channels on dynamically assigned ports. These protocols require the ASA to do
a deep packet inspection instead of passing the packet through the fast path (see the general operations
configuration guide for more information about the fast path). As a result, inspection engines can affect
overall throughput. Several common inspection engines are enabled on the ASA by default, but you
might need to enable others depending on your network.
The following topics explain application inspection in more detail.

How Inspection Engines Work
As illustrated in the following figure, the ASA uses three databases for its basic operation:
•
ACLs—Used for authentication and authorization of connections based on specific networks, hosts,
and services (TCP/UDP port numbers).
•
Inspections—Contains a static, predefined set of application-level inspection functions.
