IMPLEMENTING POLICY INSTRUCTIONS IN MULTIPLE TABLES

摘要

Example implementations relate to implementing policy instructions in multiple tables in a packet processing pipeline. An example method includes determining characteristics of multiple tables in a packet processing pipeline of a network device. The method further includes selecting a first set of tables from the multiple tables to implement a plurality of exclusive policy instructions, selecting a second set of tables from the multiple tables to implement a plurality of non-exclusive and inert policy instructions, and selecting a third set of tables from the multiple tables to implement a plurality of non-exclusive and non-inert policy instructions. The first set of tables, the second set of tables, and the third set of tables do not overlap.
