| 4 | features: |
| 5 | - A DPO is a generic term (a.k.a abstract base class) for objects that |
| 6 | perform [a set of] actions on packets in the data-plane |
| 7 | - Concrete examples of DPO types are; adjacency, mpls-imposition, replication. |
| 8 | - DPOs are stacked/joined to form a processing graph that packets traverse |
| 9 | to describe the full set of actions a packet should experience. |
| 10 | - DPO graphs can be rooted at any point in the VLIB graph - notable examples |
| 11 | are L3 FIB lookup, ABF, L3XC. |
