--- name: Data-Plane Objects maintainer: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com> features: - A DPO is a generic term (a.k.a abstract base class) for objects that perform [a set of] actions on packets in the data-plane - Concrete examples of DPO types are; adjacency, mpls-imposition, replication. - DPOs are stacked/joined to form a processing graph that packets traverse to describe the full set of actions a packet should experience. - DPO graphs can be rooted at any point in the VLIB graph - notable examples are L3 FIB lookup, ABF, L3XC. description: "Data-Plane Objects (DPO)" state: production properties: [API, CLI, MULTITHREAD]
