I realized after skimming through the documents and seeing a 'doc:' prefix for review. Some clarifications on merging 'l3fwd' and 'l3fwd-acl' 1. Instead of wholesale merger of both 'l3fwd' and 'l3fwd-acl', does it make sense to a. Modify 'l3fwd' document by adding ACL processing information ('-A' cmdline) and providing a link or reference to existing 'l3fwd-acl' documentation since nothing has changed in terms of 'l3fwd-acl'. b. Add file read options for 'exact match' and 'longest prefix match' in 'l3fwd' documentation. Thanks. > > > John >
