-;   An edge router typically sits between two networks such as the provider
-;   core network and the provider access network. A typical packet processing
-;   pipeline for the downstream traffic (i.e. traffic from core to access
-;   network) contains the following functional blocks: Packet RX & Routing,
-;   Traffic management and Packet TX. The input packets are assumed to be
-;   IPv4, while the output packets are Q-in-Q IPv4.
-;
-;  A simple implementation for this functional pipeline is presented below.

-
-;   An edge router typically sits between two networks such as the provider
-;   core network and the provider access network. A typical packet processing
-;   pipeline for the upstream traffic (i.e. traffic from access to core
-;   network) contains the following functional blocks: Packet RX & Firewall,
-;   Flow classification, Metering, Routing and Packet TX. The input packets
-;   are assumed to be Q-in-Q IPv4, while the output packets are MPLS IPv4
-;  (with variable number of labels per route).
-;
-;   A simple implementation for this functional pipeline is presented below.

-; The diagram below shows how additional protocol components can be plugged into
-; the IP layer implemented by the ip_pipeline application. Pick your favorite
-; open source components for dynamic ARP, ICMP, UDP or TCP termination, etc and
-; connect them through SWQs to the IP infrastructure.
-;
-; The input packets with local destination are sent to the UDP/TCP applications
-; while the input packets with remote destination are routed back to the
-; network. Additional features can easily be added to this setup:
-;  * IP Reassembly: add SWQs with IP reassembly enabled (typically required for
-;    the input traffic with local destination);
-;  * IP Fragmentation: add SWQs with IP fragmentation enabled (typically
-;    required to enforce the MTU for the routed output traffic);
-;  * Traffic Metering: add Flow Action pipeline instances (e.g. for metering the
-;    TCP connections or ICMP input traffic);
-;  * Traffic Management: add TMs for the required output LINKs;
-;  * Protocol encapsulations (QinQ, MPLS) for the output packets: part of the
-;    routing pipeline configuration.
