+Guard Common Base Policy Type
+-----------------------------
+Each guard Policy Type derives from **onap.policies.controlloop.guard.Common** base policy type. Thus, they share a set of common
+properties.
+
+.. csv-table:: Common Properties for all Guards
+   :header: "Property", "Examples", "Required", "Type", "Description"
+
+   "actor", "APPC, SO", "Required", "String", "Identifies the actor involved in the Control Loop operation."
+   "operation", "Restart, VF Module Create", "Required", "String", "Identifies the Control Loop operation the actor must perform."
+   "timeRange", "start_time: T00:00:00Z end_time: T08:00:00Z", "Optional", "tosca.datatypes.TimeInterval", "A given time range the guard is in effect. Following the TOSCA specification the format should be ISO 8601 format "
+   "id", "control-loop-id", "Optional", "String", "A specific Control Loop id the guard is in effect."

+
+Frequency Limiter Guard Policy Type
+-----------------------------------
+The Frequency Limiter Guard is used to specify limits as to how many operations can occur over a given time period.
+
+.. csv-table:: Frequency Guard Properties
+   :header: "Property", "Examples", "Required", "Type", "Description"
+
+   "timeWindow", "10, 60", "Required", "integer", "The time window to count the actions against."

+   "limit", "5", "Required", "integer", "The limit value to be checked against."

+
+Min/Max Guard Policy Type
+-------------------------
+The Min/Max Guard is used to specify a minimum or maximum number of instantiated entities in A&AI. Typically this is a VFModule for Scaling operations. One should specify either a min or a max value, or **both** a min and max value. At least one must be specified.
+
+.. csv-table:: Min/Max Guard Properties
+   :header: "Property", "Examples", "Required", "Type", "Description"

+   "target", "e6130d03-56f1-4b0a-9a1d-e1b2ebc30e0e", "Required", "String", "The target entity that has scaling restricted."
+   "min", "1", "Optional", "integer", "Minimum value. Optional only if max is not specified."

+
+Blacklist Guard Policy Type
+---------------------------
+The Blacklist Guard is used to specify a list of A&AI entities that are blacklisted from having an operation performed on them. Recommendation is to use the vnf-id for the A&AI entity.
+
+.. csv-table:: Blacklist Guard Properties
+   :header: "Property", "Examples", "Required", "Type", "Description"
+
+   "blacklist", "e6130d03-56f1-4b0a-9a1d-e1b2ebc30e0e", "Required", "list of string", "List of target entity's that are blacklisted from an operation."

+
+Filter Guard Policy Type
+------------------------
+The Filter Guard is a more robust guard for blacklisting and whitelisting A&AI entities when performing control loop operations. The intent for this guard is to filter in or out a block of entities, while allowing the ability to filter in or out specific entities. This allows a DevOps team to control the introduction of a Control Loop for a region or specific VNF's, as well as block specific VNF's that are being negatively affected when poor network conditions arise. Care and testing should be taken to understand the ramifications when combining multiple filters as well as their use in conjunction with other Guard Policy Types.
