Abstract
Disclosed is a technique for providing packet filter maps with high branching factors in a system for managing network traffic in a visibility fabric. A high branching factor enables a map to branch out more than two ways. High branching factors can be realized by allowing a map to be affiliated with more than one action set. For example, each rule of the map may be affiliated with a unique action set that is executed only when the corresponding rule is satisfied.
