Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to unified feature operations, and includes methods comprising receiving, for each of one or more actions that have been defined and downloaded to a data plane, registration information for registering each of the one or more actions, wherein the registration information includes an action handle for identifying a registered action of one or more registered actions; receiving a query from an application module having a composite action comprising at least one custom action to determine if the at least one custom action corresponds to at least one registered action; and in response to determining that the at least one custom action corresponds to at least one registered action, transmitting to the application module at least one action handle corresponding to the at least one registered action, wherein the at least one action handle is used to create a composite action package in the data plane.
