| name: ACL Based Forwarding |
| maintainer: Neale Ranns <neale@graphiant.com> |
| features: |
| - 'Policy Based Routing' |
| - ACLs identify how traffic should be forwarded. Packets matching a permit |
| rule are forwarded using ABF policy. Packets matching a deny rule are |
| excluded from ABF handling and continue traversing the input feature arc on |
| the L3 path. |
| - Each rule in the ACL has an associated 'path' which determines how the |
| traffic will be forwarded. This path is described as a FIB path, so anything |
| possible with basic L3 forwarding is possible with ABF (with the exception |
| of output MPLS labels) |
| - ACLs are grouped into a policy |
| - ACL priorities within the policy determine which traffic is preferentially |
| matched |
| - Policies are attached to interfaces. |
| - ABF runs as an input feature in the L3 path |
