Abstract
A traffic policy includes policy rules that specify branch actions in their action fields. A branch action specifies another policy rule in the traffic policy. Packet filters generated from the traffic policy represent the traffic policy rules and execution order semantics of the branch rules. The packet filters include resolved actions that are generated by resolving the original actions in the policy rules.
