A network element includes one or more ports and a packet processor. The one or more ports are to transmit and receive packets over a network. The packet processor is to apply a plurality of rules to the packets, each rule specifying (i) expected values for each header field of a group of header fields of the packets, including, for a given header field in the group, at least a set of multiple expected values, (ii) a group ID associated with the set, and (iii) an action to be applied to the packets whose header fields match the expected values.
