Abstract
A packet is received at an ingress port of a network device. A set of user defined bytes corresponding to the packet are populated with data included in or associated with the packet. One or more user defined bytes are selected, from the set of user defined bytes, to be used in a key for the packet. An ordering of the selected user defined bytes to be used for generating the key is specified. The key is generated using the selected user defined bytes and according to the ordering of the selected user defined bytes specified for the key. A processing action for the packet is determined based on the key. The network device processes the packet using the processing action.
