Cisco ASR 9000 Series User Manual

Cisco Extension Actions
The set ipv4 or set ipv6 nexthop actions are used to redirect an ipv4 or ipv6 packet to the specified nexthop
address, instead of using the destination address in the packet. This provides ABF (ACL Based Forwarding)
kind of functionality using OpenFlow. However, VRF support and nexthop tracking as supported by CLI
based ABF feature is not supported in this release.
The set fcid (Forward Class ID) action can be used to support PBTS (Policy Based Tunnel Selection)
functionality using OpenFlow.
Following table shows the list of actions added by Cisco to support some extra features on ASR9K.
