Abstract
A method and system of network access security utilizes identifying the router devices in the network path or other such router devices as may be encountered in protecting a particular portion of the inter-networked system to determine the variation in ACL format and content with each ACL format being then analyzed to determine a paradigm set of packet fields common to all identified ACL formats in which each ACL is then re-written entry by entry to form a paradigm ACL corresponding as nearly as possible to the original ACL. The paradigm ACL for each non-homogenous network device is then merged with each other paradigm ACL to create a common paradigm ACL which can be distributed to each non-homogenous router device to provide common filtering across all of the routers.
