The Virtual Firewall (vFW) is a VNF approximation serving as a state full
L3/L4 packet filter with connection tracking enabled for TCP, UDP and ICMP.
The VNF could be a part of Network Services (industry use-cases) deployed
to secure the enterprise network from un-trusted network.

The vACL vNF is implemented as a DPDK application using VNF Infrastructure
