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.
