+# Access Control Lists
+
+VPP is tested in a number of data plane feature configurations across
+different forwarding modes. Following sections list features tested.
+
+## ACL Security-Groups
+
+Both stateless and stateful access control lists (ACL), also known as
+security-groups, are supported by VPP.
+
+Following ACL configurations are tested for MAC switching with L2
+bridge-domains:
+
+- *l2bdbasemaclrn-iacl{E}sl-{F}flows*: Input stateless ACL, with {E}
+  entries and {F} flows.
+- *l2bdbasemaclrn-oacl{E}sl-{F}flows*: Output stateless ACL, with {E}
+  entries and {F} flows.
+- *l2bdbasemaclrn-iacl{E}sf-{F}flows*: Input stateful ACL, with {E}
+  entries and {F} flows.
+- *l2bdbasemaclrn-oacl{E}sf-{F}flows*: Output stateful ACL, with {E}
+  entries and {F} flows.
+
+Following ACL configurations are tested with IPv4 routing:
+
+- *ip4base-iacl{E}sl-{F}flows*: Input stateless ACL, with {E} entries
+  and {F} flows.
+- *ip4base-oacl{E}sl-{F}flows*: Output stateless ACL, with {E} entries
+  and {F} flows.
+- *ip4base-iacl{E}sf-{F}flows*: Input stateful ACL, with {E} entries and
+  {F} flows.
+- *ip4base-oacl{E}sf-{F}flows*: Output stateful ACL, with {E} entries
+  and {F} flows.
+
+ACL tests are executed with the following combinations of ACL entries
+and number of flows:
+
+- ACL entry definitions
+  - flow non-matching deny entry: (src-ip4, dst-ip4, src-port, dst-port).
+  - flow matching permit ACL entry: (src-ip4, dst-ip4).
+- {E} - number of non-matching deny ACL entries, {E} = [1, 10, 50].
+- {F} - number of UDP flows with different tuple (src-ip4, dst-ip4,
+  src-port, dst-port), {F} = [100, 10k, 100k].
+- All {E}x{F} combinations are tested per ACL type, total of 9.
+
+## ACL MAC-IP
+
+MAC-IP binding ACLs are tested for MAC switching with L2 bridge-domains:
+
+- *l2bdbasemaclrn-macip-iacl{E}sl-{F}flows*: Input stateless ACL, with
+  {E} entries and {F} flows.
+
+MAC-IP ACL tests are executed with the following combinations of ACL
+entries and number of flows:
+
+- ACL entry definitions
+  - flow non-matching deny entry: (dst-ip4, dst-mac, bit-mask)
+  - flow matching permit ACL entry: (dst-ip4, dst-mac, bit-mask)
+- {E} - number of non-matching deny ACL entries, {E} = [1, 10, 50]
+- {F} - number of UDP flows with different tuple (dst-ip4, dst-mac),
+  {F} = [100, 10k, 100k]
+- All {E}x{F} combinations are tested per ACL type, total of 9.
