Abstract

A device receives a new rule construct that includes a source address or a destination address, and at least one parameter, where the new rule construct includes a new rule to be provided to a network. The device identifies network devices, of the network, to which the new rule is to be provided based on the new rule construct, and determines a proper position for the new rule, in a list of existing rules provided in each network device, based on the new rule construct and information associated with the network devices. The device causes the new rule to be provided to and stored in the network devices, at the proper position, in the list of existing rules, determined for each network device.
