    Hey there ,

    I'll give this a shot - so, the 128T router functions as a zero trust model, which means the only traffic that will traverse your network is traffic that you explicitly allow to do so. You determine what packets get shipped when you create services in your 128T configuration. The services are configured to match the traffic that you want and you can configure them based on destination address, subnet, transport protocol, and port range. Once you have a service defined, then you can add access controls and other policies to the traffic headed to this service.

    An example - let's say you want to create a service to catch all SIP traffic (port 5060). You would do that by configuring a service with address 0.0.0.0/0 (meaning any address) and protocol and port to be TCP/5060 and UDP/5060. If you know the specific addresses of your devices communicating with SIP, then you can put in those addresses instead of 0.0.0.0/0.

    Once the service is defined, you can add your access controls and determine who can access your SIP devices and who cannot. 

    You can verify all this by checking your FIB table.
