Hopefully yes. Currently you can already emulate this using maps. Maps allow you to associate a value to a matching key. By using ACLs on top of maps, you can convert the expected value to "1" for example and have the ACL match for value 1. Then you can update your maps from the CLI. What Thierry has done is to fuse the ACL match and the maps match so that the keys can be managed similarly. Regards, Willy
