Configuring a Service Policy
Service policies provide a consistent and flexible way to configure ASA features. For example, you can
use a service policy to create a timeout configuration that is specific to a particular TCP application, as
opposed to one that applies to all TCP applications. A service policy consists of multiple service policy
rules applied to an interface or applied globally.
