A routing apparatus comprises memory including a common group identifier correlated to a plurality of values each derived using a specified network parameter, memory including a common group action correlated to the common group identifier, a parse action module configured for accessing the common group identifier correlating memory and for associating the common group identifier with a packet configured with the specified network parameter, and a common group action module configured for accessing the common group action correlating memory and for determining the common group action be applied to the packet. Determining the common group action to be applied to the packet includes selecting the common group action dependent upon the common group identifier.
