The network device must implement security policies for all traffic flows by using security zones at various protection levels as a basis for flow control decisions.

Description
Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. The flow of all network traffic must be monitored and controlled so it does not introduce unacceptable risks to the network infrastructure or data. Restrictions can be enforced using security zones at various protection levels as a basis for flow control decisions. Usually flow control is not a primary function of the network device. However, many products are able to support flow control decisions or affect the flow more directly. This requirement is applicable to specific devices and does not involve the management of a network device.
