CoPP (Control Plane Policing)

Hello

Thank you for the explanation.

I was reading about CoPP and I read on a forum an example on why to use it.

It was mentioned that if for example you want to filter traffic to an outside interface with an access list , and someone manage to send a lot of traffic to that interface , even though the traffic will be dropped as it matches the drop action in the access list ,this will have an impact on CPU .

On the other hand with CoPP you will have a silent drop meaning packets will never reach CPU .

In this example applying an access list to an interface for this purpose isn’t the same as CoPP ?

Or it is correct as an example?

Moreover ,do Access lists sent traffic to CPU while receive Access Lists don’t ?

Thanks again
