When a packet ingresses the switch, its header is loaded into all the slices, and the header value is compared with the rule values. If the values match, the rule action is taken. Conflicting actions are resolved by the precedence of the entries. However, if rule entries are on different slices, then ACL (Access Control List) counters can be incremented on each slice that contains a counter-incrementing rule.
