Afts

The abstract forwarding tables (AFTs) that are associated with the network instance. An AFT is instantiated per-protocol running within the network-instance - such that one exists for IPv4 Unicast, IPv6 Unicast, MPLS, L2 forwarding entries, etc. A forwarding entry within the FIB has a set of next-hops, which may be a reference to an entry within another table - e.g., where a Layer 3 next-hop has an associated Layer 2 forwarding entry.

Fields

nametypenullabledescription
ipv4UnicastIpUnicasttrueThe abstract forwarding table for IPv4 unicast. Entries within this table are uniquely keyed on the IPv4 unicast destination prefix which is matched by ingress packets. The data set represented by the IPv4 Unicast AFT is the set of entries from the IPv4 unicast RIB that have been selected for installation into the FIB of the device.
ipv6UnicastIpUnicasttrueThe abstract forwarding table for IPv6 unicast. Entries within this table are uniquely keyed on the IPv6 unicast destination prefix which is matched by ingress packets. The data set represented by the IPv6 Unicast AFT is the set of entries from the IPv6 unicast RIB that have been selected for installation into the FIB of the device.
