Forwarding destination prediction allows users to determine which interface a given packet will egress out. This feature is enhanced to identify the TCAM bank and rule offset for the matched ACL rule responsible for the forwarding decision. This allows network operators to trace the egress result back to the exact rule that triggered the action.

The Tap Aggregation Traffic Steering feature provides support for filtering data streams received on tap ports and directing flows to tool ports based on user-configurable match rules, using either class maps and policy maps or traffic policies.
