[Satish Patel]

Folks and ( Tim/Nick )

I have Cisco Nexus 9396 L3 switch and running bunch of ACL ( IPv4
Access-list to block certain traffic )  today i was reading about TCAM
and when i look at switch i found following utilization, so trying to
understand how ACL relationship with TCAM.

- Does number of ACL impact TCAM utilization or traffic ?
