Transactional-Commit Model
The ASA rule-engine supports a new feature for rule updation called the Transactional-Commit Model.
When this feature is enabled, a rule update is applied after the rule compilation is completed; without
affecting the rule matching performance. With the legacy model, rule updates take effect immediately
but rule matching slows down during the rule compilation period. This feature is useful to prevent
potential packet drops during large compilation of rules under high traffic conditions. This feature is also
useful to reduce the rule compilation time under two specific patterns of configurations:
Preventing packet drops while compiling large rules during high traffic rates.
Reducing rule compilation time while updating a large number of similar rules.
