+ * Flow rule attributes.
+ *
+ * Priorities are set on two levels: per group and per rule within groups.
+ *
+ * Lower values denote higher priority, the highest priority for both levels
+ * is 0, so that a rule with priority 0 in group 8 is always matched after a
+ * rule with priority 8 in group 0.
+ *
+ * Although optional, applications are encouraged to group similar rules as
+ * much as possible to fully take advantage of hardware capabilities
+ * (e.g. optimized matching) and work around limitations (e.g. a single
+ * pattern type possibly allowed in a given group).
+ *
+ * Group and priority levels are arbitrary and up to the application, they
+ * do not need to be contiguous nor start from 0, however the maximum number
+ * varies between devices and may be affected by existing flow rules.
+ *
+ * If a packet is matched by several rules of a given group for a given
+ * priority level, the outcome is undefined. It can take any path, may be
+ * duplicated or even cause unrecoverable errors.
+ *
+ * Note that support for more than a single group and priority level is not
+ * guaranteed.
+ *
+ * Flow rules can apply to inbound and/or outbound traffic (ingress/egress).
+ *
+ * Several pattern items and actions are valid and can be used in both
+ * directions. Those valid for only one direction are described as such.
+ *
+ * At least one direction must be specified.
+ *
+ * Specifying both directions at once for a given rule is not recommended
+ * but may be valid in a few cases (e.g. shared counter).

+ *
+ * Optionally, last can point to a structure of the same type to define an

+ * Only the fields defined to nonzero values in the default masks (see

+ * default. This can be overridden by providing a mask structure of the
+ * same type with applicable bits set to one. It can also be used to
+ * partially filter out specific fields (e.g. as an alternate mean to match
+ * ranges of IP addresses).
+ *
+ * Mask is a simple bit-mask applied before interpreting the contents of
+ * spec and last, which may yield unexpected results if not used
+ * carefully. For example, if for an IPv4 address field, spec provides
+ * 10.1.2.3, last provides 10.3.4.5 and mask provides 255.255.0.0, the
