The one thing here I notice is the sentence " policer actions can be configured which include keep the same packet color " "which include keep" sounds weird, Maybe one of these " policer actions can be configured which include the same packet color " " policer actions can be configured which keep the same packet color " > +..

So it is not recommended for use. Same here. Reviewed-by: Marko Kovacevic <marko.kovace...@intel.com>
