Every security device has advantages and disadvantages and firewalls are no different.
If we applied strict defensive mechanisms into our network to protect it from breach, then it might be possible that even our legitimate communication could malfunction, or if we allow entire protocol communications into our network, then it can be easily hacked by malicious users. So, we should maintain a balance between strictly-coupled and loosely-coupled functionalities.

All network analyzers/sniffers have the ability to capture data from network. But most of them only do some simple statistics then throw pages of numbers to the users. Especially in a big network with heavy traffic, network administrators have to figure out a network problem even a simple one.

Access control lists (ACLs) are used by many different features. When applied to interfaces or globally as access rules, they permit or deny traffic that flows through the appliance. For other features, the ACL selects the traffic to which the feature will apply, performing a matching service rather than a control service.
Access control lists (ACLs) identify traffic flows by one or more characteristics, including source and destination IP address, IP protocol, ports, EtherType, and other parameters, depending on the type of ACL.
