Non-masked bits stand for any value (shown as ``?`` below), Ethernet headers
with the following properties are thus matched:
-- ``src``: ``??:01:02:03:??``
-- ``dst``: ``??:??:??:??:01``
+- ``src``: ``??:??:01:02:03:??``
+- ``dst``: ``??:??:??:??:??:01``
- ``type``: ``0x????``
Matching pattern
Matches an 802.1Q/ad VLAN tag.
The corresponding standard outer EtherType (TPID) values are

Actions
~~~~~~~
-Each possible action is represented by a type. Some have associated
-configuration structures. Several actions combined in a list can be assigned
+Each possible action is represented by a type.
+An action can have an associated configuration object.
+Several actions combined in a list can be assigned
to a flow rule and are performed in order.
They fall in three categories:
| ``mac_addr`` | MAC address |
+--------------+---------------+
+Action: ``INC_TCP_SEQ``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Increase sequence number in the outermost TCP header.
+Value to increase TCP sequence number by is a big-endian 32 bit integer.
+
+Using this action on non-matching traffic will result in undefined behavior.
+
+Action: ``DEC_TCP_SEQ``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Decrease sequence number in the outermost TCP header.
+Value to decrease TCP sequence number by is a big-endian 32 bit integer.
+
+Using this action on non-matching traffic will result in undefined behavior.
+
+Action: ``INC_TCP_ACK``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Increase acknowledgment number in the outermost TCP header.
+Value to increase TCP acknowledgment number by is a big-endian 32 bit integer.
+
+Using this action on non-matching traffic will result in undefined behavior.
+
+Action: ``DEC_TCP_ACK``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Decrease acknowledgment number in the outermost TCP header.
+Value to decrease TCP acknowledgment number by is a big-endian 32 bit integer.
+
+Using this action on non-matching traffic will result in undefined behavior.
