Ryan,

The flow-classifier rules need to have a lower priority than the ppg rules as 
they steer the traffic into the chain. Therefore I could do this two ways:

  1.  I can put the flow-classifier rules into the ACL table and insert them 
from their into the chain table,
  2.  I can move the chain table before the ACL table.

If either case the action would be to send the traffic to the first port pair 
input put of the first port-pair. This rule would then be fired in the chain 
table to steer traffic through the chain.

Both seem a little "hacky" to me the first because it might set rules on flows 
that get modified before they hit the chain table, but the current ACL code 
sets both egress and ingress tables so there is precedent.

The second approach is just bad as we could process a bunch of flows that are 
dropped in the ACL table.

Thoughts?

John
