It depends on which direction the traffic is flowing through. Can you paste your configuration here (sanitized of course)<br />

Sorry I couldn't get back here until now. &nbsp;I'll have to do a little more research on the ip address scheme. &nbsp;Thank you for your responses.

I'm not very acl or router savvy so I bring this to you for an explanation. &nbsp;I am looking at the ACL's in our router and see a large number of hits on one line of the acl that I don't understand. &nbsp;Our public IP space is X.140.0.0/16 using &nbsp;private inside addresses. This looks extremely suspicious to me. &nbsp;should I be seeing this many hits on a deny statement? Should I be concerned? &nbsp;If so, how do I fix this situation? <br />

Suspicious ACL in router config

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
