+ * - Actions that modify the fate of matching traffic, for instance by

- * for additional processing by subsequent flow rules.
+ * - Actions that modify matching traffic contents or its properties. This

- * - Other non terminating meta actions that do not affect the fate of

+ * egress.

- * Only the last action of a given type is taken into account. PMDs still
- * perform error checking on the entire list.
