A flow manager may receive prioritized packet flow rules from one or more network services where each rule may include a packet filter and prioritized actions. Each action of a packet flow rule may be either terminating or non-terminating. A flow manager may generate a unified rule set according to the received packet flow rules and may additionally validate the unified rule set to identity errors. When validating the unified rule set, a flow manager may compare the unified rule set against one or more defined policies. Alternatively, a flow manager may apply the unified rule set to either captured or manually specified simulated network packets. A flow manager may also identity extraneous rules or actions. Further, a flow manager may present the unified rule set for manual verification and may receive input identifying errors and specifying modification to correct the errors.
