Abstract

A network packet includes a packet key that includes one or more source-destination field pairs. Each source-destination field pair that is included in the one or more source-destination field pairs includes a source field and a destination field. For each selected source-destination field pair, included in the one or more source-destination field pairs, a first section and a second section are selected in the packet key. A source field value is extracted from the source field and a destination field value is extracted from the destination field of the selected source-destination field pair.
