Summary:A method for modifying packet data of a packet in a network device, where the method includes receiving, at an ingress pipeline of the network device, the packet, performing a lookup, in a packet translation ruleset, to compare the packet data to rule criteria of a rule in the packet translation ruleset, making a first determination that at least a portion of the packet data matches the rule criteria, and based on the first determination, adding a packet translation tag to the packet, where the packet translation tag includes a rule action, copying the packet translation tag and a portion of the packet to obtain a copied packet, modifying the copied packet as described in the rule action to obtain a modified copied packet, and forwarding the modified copied packet to an egress pipeline.
