Abstract

Devices and techniques for indicating packet processing hints are described herein. A device may receive a data packet. The device may extract a match-action attribute from the data packet that specifies an action to be applied to the data packet. The device may generate a hint field based on the match-action attribute. The hint field may include information to be used for handling the data packet. Other embodiments are also described.
